lol. i'm totally not keeping track... ignorance is bliss in this one instance.

in other news: shane claiborne wrote "Irresistible Revolution" calling americans to individually and corporately live out the message of Jesus through acts of service instead of just lip-service and monetarily contributions. it was really challenging. his methodology should be taken with a grain of salt considering each individual's current context, but altogether very inspirational. He more recently wrote "Jesus for President" which I believe Brian was referring. I have not read it, but imagine it to be along the same lines of certain off-shoots from IR. he basically argues against military action period on the basis that Christians should never condone or promote violence. it's a little more extreme than i feel comfortable with, but he has some good points about supporting and respecting government but not rolling over and permitting everything.

ryc: i think claiborne does a good job of being wholehearted on the issues like opposing ALL war, looking out for the innocent, orphans, widows, neglected, forgotten in our community. honestly, i think that his focus on ministering to the homeless informs his other beliefs about this stuff. the guy left college to live among the homeless as a homeless person. he puts his feet and money where his mouth spouts off. i can't comment on Jesus for President, but i do know that IR was done well and with a sound Biblical and practical basis in mind. i highly recommend it.

Yes, thank God for Gerald Henderson. And I like Doug Gottlieb. Didn't he steal laptops or credit cards or something and now he's an analyst for ESPN? Sweet deal.
I'm starting to hate Digger Phelps. Stop with the highlighters already.
