What the HECK!  I would like to use stronger language. Why does it seems like the only people talking about the hostages in Afghanistan are Asian American folks? That is probably not totally fair, but I think the post Silence in the Godblogosphere is deafening tells the truth as these Korean Christian missionaries have been [...]

Like journaling or any other spiritual/pastoral practice, consistent blog posting can be difficult.  There are some general guidelines for avoiding posting block like Rohit’s post  How to find time to blog (when it is not your day job) or Maartje’s post How to kill writer’s block in 10 easy steps, but sometimes it is just [...]

This post is an expansion on a couple of shorter past posts: Blogging as Spiritual Discipline/Practice and Why Do I Blog, You Ask? My name is Bruce and I am a blogger!  – Group response, “Hi Bruce.” There I said it, I am an unapologetic blogger.  And not just any blogger, but I am a [...]

[h/t: Ooh Shiny] As many of you know, due to some health issues, I am not supposed to drink.  But . . . when I was drinkin’, I enjoyed a glass of red wine at the end of the day.  Good for the heart and soul I say.  I never really got to the point [...]

For those with whom I have talked with about this whole blogging thing, you know that I am a pretty big supporter of the Typepad blogging service by SF-based SixApart – they also run Vox, LiveJournal and MoveableType.  With that said, I have also used Blogger and read many a blogs that were made using [...]

[h/t: Jay] Yes, churches can be tough places to work, but I would hope that if things ever get this bad, I MIGHT get a clue that I was not wanted.  Then again, maybe this guy gets serious creativity points for strategic job retainment. A congregation meeting gone awry drew numerous Metro police officers to [...]

[photo: cwgoodrowe]So today was icky – yes, I said icky – here in NC.  Rainy, muggy, and did I mention icky.  Humidity must be some kind of mean punishment for something humanity has done.  Insert stereotypical joke about some humid area of the world here [    ], but surely this is not of God [...]

If I had not JUST been in Vegas for two other event in the past 18months, I might actually think about checking GodBlogCon out.  New Media is changing the way that people acquire knowledge and understand the world. As Christians, we should embrace this technology to present the reasonable, loving message of Christianity to the [...]

EPISODE XII – What the?!?!?!?  Yes, pop culture filtered by yours truly.  A waste of time?  The pulse of contemporary culture? Nope, just weekly rant and reflection about the sites and sounds that have stimulated my brain for good or bad, and now regurgitated for your reading pleasure. This week’s topic: Top 5 TV Characters [...]

While am fully on board with the struggles between "going to" and "being" church, I believe  there is a valid place in one’s journey for the discipline of attending a regular gathering of people who are centered on God, Christ and the Spirit. And while this seems obvious to some – this does not hold [...]

So . . . I get really frustrated when time and time again I get caught up in the procrastination, inefficiency and lack of focus of others.  "Get your CRAP together.  Get it done. Move on. " I think in my head.  Once, sure something can happen, twice, maybe, but over and freakin’ over again?!?!? [...]

10 Random things from the past few days: Watched Never Ending Story with Ev today.  Quite possibly the cheesiest special effects EVER, just after Attack of the Killer Tomatoes – BTW My mom worked for one of the writers of this film, Assemblyman, Steve Peace; Learned that Al Queda supports the Emergent Church  [h/t: DAIO] [...]

I won!  I Won!  what did I win you ask? Dad of the year? Jesus worker of the week? Cafe Hanger-Outer of the City? While all would be bring sweet medals to hang around my neck, alas all pale in comparison to today’s [July 26, 2007] Review of the Day from Yelp.  Yes, if you [...]

So by now you know that THE WORLD ALMOST ENDED because the power went out in San Francisco today and effected Yelp, Craiglist, Tecnorati and yes, Six Apart – of the awesome Typepad blogging service – AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! While in the midst of such a time when one’s blog will not come up, it can be [...]
