Vote or Die!

My friend, Andrew is friends with another excellent blogger, who goes by the name Timmy. Timmy has put a question into a contest that Mars Hill Church is doing. I think the question is important and I would like to see the question make it into the book that will be written about the top 9.

So, here is a link to the question. It has fallen out of the top 9 and, if you like it, I think you should vote for it. Of course, take time and read the other questions as well.

And here is the rest of it.

The Incredible Disappearing Search Box

Here one day, gone the next! That's right folks only you can bring back the incredible disappearing search box. If you used it and loved it make yourself known otherwise, the search box will continue to be a figment of your imaginations.


And here is the rest of it.

Last video for a while:

I mentioned this song to some of my youth and they had no idea. I stand by my word. I want this played at my funeral. This is my jam. Friends Forever.

As far as the abundance of video lately, I'm going to post some stuff I've been mulling over for a while. Take the jump.

I heart Chuckabee

I got to thinking this morning while I was bathing, very briefly, there is still a water shortage. I thought about the value of humor in this presidential race. Why did I think about this? Because I saw the Mike Huckabee commercial that is after the jump. Take the jump.




In a day and age where most of us feel like the best social commentary is coming from a guy mocking Bill O'Reilly and a former stand-up comic, is it any wonder that someone with a sense of humor might be a dark horse? Vote Huckabee or pay the price.

PS. I'm creating a new category for all things Chuckabee related.

Kids are cute:

I got to see my friend Andrew's little baby boy, Christian. He's awesome. He snorts and my fiance accidentally gave him a concussion. In light of that here is a cute kid.



You don't even have to take the jump.

And here is the rest of it.

You know what's cool?

Being engaged!

I'm engaged to my long-time and wonderful girlfriend, now Fiance! I genuinely have no way of decently expressing how elated I am. All I can do is show you a picture that we had taken. Later, I'll explain in detail how I proposed and how Jennie responded.


Folks, I'm getting married! This is all so surreal and wonderful. I will deffinetly be putting more pictures and more info up.

This sums up my bride to be.

Song of Solomon 4:7
"You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you."

My endorsement goes to:

Facebook! I believe that it is the far superior of the big two this year. I believe that if we want to see our interwebnet get back to what it used to be. Then Facebook can take us there.

Just look at Myspace. It's full of semi-porn and aneurysm inducing flashing colors, I ask you, is that where you want your children to grow up? Facebook is a step back to good old internet values. Clean lines and crisp lettering, just like grandma used to make, that's what my interwebnet is like.

This year, make it count, avoid myspace like the plague. The plague that it is. Get a Facebook account. The interwebnet will thank you.

Seriously, Myspace is just too gross. Also, I like that you don't start off grading your friends with Facebook. As a youth minister I try to teach kids to not judge their friends. Well, Myspace seems to think that is a stupid idea. So, I prefer Facebook, parents, get your kids off Myspace.





And here is the rest of it.

In light of the recent drought:

I would like to put forward a thought. A look at situational ethics and the plight the the American conscience. A brief foray into how little we appreciate the world around us. Take the jump.


Every day that I drive to work, I take a back road that runs me through some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. I see lush green grass and giant ponderous cows. Occasionally, I see a horse running, seemingly for no other reason than because it can. I love taking this back road, it's a nice break for a city mouse like me.

At one point I turn onto a less rural road and start heading into town. On this road there is the item in question. I see the thing that seems to encompass everything that doesn't make sense about America. It's a sod farm. A grass farm.

It always has gigantic sprinklers going, unleashing torrents of water. Water that is as of now precious. Water that is depleting our 90 day store. Water for grass.

What a waste. The sod won't grow to feed people somewhere. In the long run it feeds a bit of narcissism. Which is really what this is all about. The sod farm, for me, is one of the greatest signs of American narcissism imaginable. Shame on us for wasting precious resources in search of the all American dollar. How Un-Christlike, how inhuman is it to know that we have the plot of land and the ability to farm it and waste it on grass.

I hope we all take a long look at how we use our resources. The world is watching us and will really call into question our Gospel if we can't give any proof to the fact that when He was hungry we fed Him. Give up narcissism.
