Stuff Jesus Digs

450 sheep jump to their death

Typical of the Associated Press. They completely leave out the part of the story where demons are cast into the sheep. (Matthew 8:30-32) Link: AP Wire Stories.

PBS on The Emerging Church

Interesting how the media seems to be able to do a better job articulating Emergent that those of us who would claim it as our own. This PBS story seems to do a great job of expressing the heart behind emergent while also including the thoughts of a concerned professor. I'm sure it would have been easy to find someone who was very critical of emergent. I'm pleased they settled on "concerned". Link: Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly . COVER STORY .

Talking About Debt

An interesting link about the national debt and where it has increased in recent years. I'm thinking Jesus certainly doesn't dig debt. (I hesitated to even post this because I'd hate for this blog to become about my specific opinion about what Jesus is against. But in honor of embracing the journey, here it is.)

Good Works

Amazing how more and more corporations are putting forth ideology that you wouldn't expect from a store selling burgers.

"We all have a duty to act responsibly. To do good. Participate in the lives of others. It's about taking pride in the world we live in, and dealing with the important issues. It's about being there for us." -McDonalds

Planters Honey Nut & Caramel Trail Mix

Got a gift basket today for my birthday and it had a couple packs of Planters Trail Mix in it. I initially glanced over it but later felt a little snacky and opened one up. Not very healthy but certainly yummmy. Honey roasted peanuts, yogurt flavored rasins, peanut brittle, cashews, pretzels, and caramel popcorn make up the mix. I downed almost the whole bag in a sitting. Only 160 calories, not bad... Oh, per serving. 160 times 5... Yeah, well, still less than 2 Quarter Pounders. Really good stuff. I really hate rasins and it turns out that if you mix them with all that other stuff and cover them with yogurt they don't even get in the way!
