in choices… on transitionpete
First, congratulations on the recent news and godspeed on your journey brother! My wife and I are in the middle of training for adoption certification, and we look forward to a similar call in the near future!
Second, the second paragraph from your buddy is really where I'm at these days. We need to start looking for a new way to abolish abortions. I wonder if most people even know what would happen if Roe v. Wade were overturned. It would go to the states and then we'd still have legalized abortions in some states. This issue needs a real solution, not just another way to garner votes for either side.
We also need to start thinking in terms of "whole" life. Life begins at conception, but it doesn't end at birth. A recent quote from Rob Bell sums this line of thinking up nicely...

"The Church has missed the heart of God by speaking out against abortion while keeping silent about war. Both are forms of violence used to preserve prosperity. Abortion is prenatal war against the powerless child. War is postnatal abortion that destroys innocent life. The kingdom is life for the fetus and life for the civilian. The church embodies this life in a world of expedient and preemptive killing."

in Who Should I Vote For? on BetterThanBlank
I'm voting for Obama, but I'm not going to tell anyone who to vote for. We all need to be good stewards of our votes. The one thing I'll encourage though is to never, EVER, let anyone tell you that God is for one candidate over another. Those people need their christianity cards revoked.

in Obama and McCain Roast one Another on Vertizontal
Great stuff man!
I didn't see that stuff at the end of the McCain one until this morning myself. I grabbed a 2-part clip to replace it on my blog because I wanted it to be about the goodness of this night vs. the ugly.
Here are the 2 if you're interested...

in Perception on brent(inWorship)
In business school I was taught that perception = reality. If someone perceives something a certain way, to them it is their reality.

in Ragamuffin Soul » Donald Miller Shall Pray…Amen on Ragamuffin Soul
Was is because he wanted to sell more magazines?
Was it because his dad publicly endorsed McCain?
I hope neither are true, but I'd pray with any and all parties if given the chance. It seems silly not to.

I always credit Third Day, an atheist, and a Pearl Jam message board for my spiritual 'awakening'.
Your Offerings albums were hugely successful and could easily have been a formula for easy financial windfalls in later albums. How hard was it to move past that and do music you felt you were led to do vs. what the masses were wanting/expecting in the later albums?

in Why? [A world ripped apart] on CaffeinatedFaith
My wife and I were talking the other day about how prevalent infidelity is these days. It's EVERYWHERE! Our worship leader revealed to us a few months ago that he's been cheating on his wife. I just don't get it....
So yeah, I'm not going to have any profound words to say here. Just know that we are praying for you guys.
