DISQUS

I go as a discipline - it's not always easy to go every week.
I go to be in fellowship with other believers on a regular basis.
I go to learn from someone who has the gift of teaching the Word of God.
I go to put myself in a place where I might be broken, humbled, and instructed.
I go to worship God outside of my regular everyday routine.

His piano stuff is GREAT!!!! I love the combo of a piano and a male voice ala Five for Fighting so I'm a fan! Thanks for posting this.

I like it! I love the clean feel ... I see you chose orange and blue. I am assuming that is a subtle cheer for the Denver Broncos? :)

"I am now ruder to them than the Abercrombie salesfolks are to ugly people."

That's hilarious, Todd. And for the record, I've learned the hard way that you really have no choice but to be abrupt with those salespeople.

Ooooh I love the last one! VERY cool.

I figured you were joking. But I mean the video - it's a spoof, right? Because I kind of think the guy might be serious ...

Ummm ... is this a joke?

Hey Zak,

I first saw that video on Heather Whitaker's blog, but I wondered where it started.

Thanks for sharing this! It moved me more than any other video I've ever seen.

I'm glad I found your blog. Look forward to reading.

That's a bit ironic that they use Obama - someone very NOT on the pro-life side - as their example.

You're right, Todd. I think it was Paul who said he didn't much care who said it as long as Jesus was being preached, right? We certainly can find Truth in this prayer.

I was just disappointed in Obama's blatant effort to appease anger over his choice of Rick Warren by choosing someone like this guy.

This is an interesting post, Todd. I'm always torn about how to feel when someone shows up late and then rearranges everyone to accommodate them. I always move, but never want to.

Kind of a sad statement for the movie, though, that this pre-movie incident is what stuck with you.

I usually try to stay out of political discussions, but I'm breaking the rule.

My brother told me that Bishop Robinson (I think he was the one who offered this prayer, right?) said he had been reading inaugural prayers through history and was "horrified" at how "specifically and aggressively Christian they were." He also said "I am very clear that this will not be a Christian prayer, and I won't be quoting Scripture. The texts I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer."

I realize I'm basing my opinion on heresay, but if that is true, this prayer makes me uncomfortable. A lot of what he said in this prayer I agree with, but I have a hard time being led in prayer by a man who feels that way.

I don't know what it means, but that's flippin' hilarious!

Very astute, Todd. That's funny.

This is funny. And sad cause it's true.

Adaptability is my #1 and Communication is my #2. No wonder we get along.

COOL photos! I LOVE this post.

Cool!

That quote is GREAT! May I please steal it? (With appropriate hat tipping, of course.)

Ha ha I love the dramatic hat tip!

I love Hugh Grant. Another thing we share.

That's a real ad campaign? That's horrible. VERY poor taste, in my opinion.

I took a bunch of marketing classes in college and one thing that I heard a lot was that it doesn't matter how innovative or creative or catchy your ad is, if it leaves the consumer with a negative impression, the ad will backfire. That negative feeling will be associated with the product.

This one definitely does that.

Oh my gosh, that's GINORMOUS.

I love the last one.
I totally relate.

Great post!

"From about the last week of November to the last week of December. Anything outside of those parameters is annoying."

That's the same time frame that I like snow.
