Thursday, March 10th, 2005Classic images endure. They’re timeless and unforgettable, like the confrontational Wendy’s woman from the 1980s who shouted at fast food clerks: “Where’s the beef?!” Sometimes I feel like that little old lady. Leaving aside the obvious physical differences (such as me being 40 or so years younger, 6’2″, 225, and male), I often feel like [...]
Should this be banned?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005I wouldn’t want Judah to see this, but should it be banned totally from U.S. airwaves? It communicates a jarring message jarringly. Apparently it has been censored by the networks.mn casinos albqgambling age 18 wisconsincleveland in for age ohio casinosamerican online friendly casinosaddiction michigan treatment gamblingfeathers 7 or casinocasino amazon royalegambling card credit merchant account [...]
If Rudy’s among The Ten, where are we?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005Congrats, Rudy, on having your blog named by Worship Leader Magazine one of “Ten Emerging Blogs” (whatever that means exactly). Since you’re the brother most singularly responsible for me having a blog, where does that place mine, and Liz’s, and all the others that have been inspired by Urban Onramps? It’s great to be able [...]
ABC – Always Been Credible?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005Nightline did this great show on Tuesday re. the rising influence of bloggers. It’s just a bit bizarre to hear that my little corner of the blogosphere is somehow part of a larger whole that’s reshaping the worlds of journalism, activism, policy, socializing, and so much more. But what was with the sanctimonious sign-off on [...]
Health Coming
Thursday, March 10th, 2005Good news on the Judah front. It appears he had a virus that should work its way out of his system by tomorrow. Already today his energy is up and a partial appetite has returned. The fever still spikes occasionally, but the highs haven’t been as high and the energy lows haven’t been as low. [...]
Health Wanted
Wednesday, March 9th, 2005Sinuses. Fevers. Argh! Diana had phase one of the procedure to finally rid her sinuses of infection yesterday. She’s battled chronic sinusitis for 18 weeks now, systematically resisting every conceivable antibiotic treatment. The procedure was originally scheduled a month ago but had to be postponed twice for medical reasons. Tomorrow she has a follow-up to [...]
S-E-X
Wednesday, March 9th, 2005My buddies seem fixated on the topic. Liz channeled Salt-N-Pepa flava recently and Jose and Mayra are all lovey-dovey every chance they get (see for instance, 1 and 2). For whatever it’s worth, here’s another perspective on the topic I wrote last year after Nipplegate. A sixteen year old boy ogles internet porn on his [...]

Radioactivity in the city
Monday, March 7th, 2005Chain Reaction is back in New York this week for the first of three week-long projects in the city in the next six months. Matt, Joe, and 45 college students on spring break from Wake Forest, Tennessee State, and Wheaton, plus half a dozen guests from Alabama, Baltimore, and Houston, are staying at Abounding Grace [...]
Another black eye for the cause
Monday, March 7th, 2005Flamboyant televangelist Benny Hinn continues to embarass the faithful with over-the-top spending, outlandish behavior, questionable testimonials, and, worst of all, a growing reputation as someone whose word cannot be trusted. When one makes an (irresponsibly) lavish living championing the Word who became flesh and incarnates Truth itself, one’s own word must remain above reproach. Sadly, [...]
