I grew up collecting hockey and baseball cards. I had thousands upon thousands of them. A bunch of them are still in my basement, rotting away, worthless to me. I’ve collected other things in my…

Have you noticed how language has become increasingly more awkward when we are speaking about salvation? Even just today I was talking with a well respected leader in the Free Methodist church and he seemed…

I’ve been noticing a trend with blogging lately that has lead me to either really enjoy a blog or come close to unsubscribing to their blog all together.  I realize I am guilty of many…

Was everyone aware that Zondervan is owned by Harper Collins?  Harper Collins is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also conveniently owns Fox, Fox News, Myspace.com, Wall St Journal, The Sun, Down Jones, News Corp.  That…

I’m sitting on my computer right now at theStory’s space and outside the window there is about 1000 people listening to a band, there is a drinking area, art exhibitions everywhere and First Friday is…
