What does that make me?

DeYoung just posted an insightful observation on his blog on the "hip" and the "hearty." Ironically, I find myself in both categories at times. So what does that make me? "hiperty"?

2 Boxes of Mac 'n Cheese

Zach posted a comment on his growing family eating 2 entire boxes of Mac 'n Cheese. I chuckle over this because I read it on the heels of hearing the news earlier today that my oldest sister Emily and my Bro-in-Law Daniel are having their fourth child....oops. Honestly, having four kids under the age of 6 IS the freakiest thing that I have ever conceived. Good thing God is Sovereign and has opened my eyes and allowed my heart to embrace Sovereignty....and 4 kids....

Maybe one day I will think such freakness is cool? Maybe.

Stackhouse, Many Christian Hymns are Pretty Bad Too, Bro

Ben Myers responds to John Stackhouse's polemic against modern Christian music. I agree.

Adoption & Money

A great post by Randy over at his blog. He gives a few very helpful suggestions for those who feel the financial pressure of adoption. Some good stuff.

"You're so gay"

I came across this post today and it spoke to me. Currently this is where I am at...things are "gay and retarded," but not in the technical sense...at least in my mind. However, my thoughts and intents are not always communicated in the best manner and so I can understand how these things can be taken wrongly. It is an interesting and controversial topic and one that cannot be solved overnight in one's life. A while ago I mentioned to my a buddy of mine that if we move to Vancouver and begin ministry in the city (which is known for is acceptance and open embracement of homosexuality) that my vernacular is going to have to change....I should probably begin now huh?
