CCM: It’s New! It’s Christian? It’s Music?
Contemporary Christian Music, much debated by Christians everywhere, by definition shouldn’t be a problem, right? Old = sacred?

Then the meteorologists said we’re not out of the woods yet, considering the hurricane season doesn’t end until late October. The thought grew stronger and emerged as this entry. Follow me. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and if it does,... Read More

With a gut crammed full of Sunday lunch and a brain crammed full of Chesterton I lay awake looking up at the ceiling. She woke me from a dream. The sermon was just finished and I lay down from exhaustion; preaching had tired me. I’m ninety-five she said, smelling like powder, and I didn’t have... Read More

Mickey Mouse & Co. just launched their very first Communist-based theme park in Hong Kong and there seemed to be much rejoicing–Mousillini would have been proud. Guess who was the chief investor? You guessed it comrades and comradettes, Communist China. They’re hoping to bring in 5 million tourists this year and a whopping 19 billion... Read More

I just recieved this in my inbox. It’s a PCC Alumni email dated September 2, 2005, two days after Hurricane Katrina demolished New Orleans: HURRICANE KATRINA Pensacola was far out on the edge of the storm and experienced only rain and minimal wind. That’s it. Under the ‘Hurrican Katrina’ header, that’s it. No relief effort.... Read More

Did you ever notice that the more you learn, the more you realize how little you used to know? I’ve been having that experience often with my websites, and anyone who knows anything about webdesign or even knows how to view the source of a page knew that my old blog was atrocious. Vestigal Dreamweaver... Read More
