Phil Baker has brought something to my attention about U2 that I didn’t know, but now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
I have been watching the U2 concert recorded in Ireland when the warm-up act was Ireland making the quarter finals of the world cup. Paul Morrison tells me that […]
Jeff Berryman is writing some awfully good stuff over at his site. I’ve added him to the blog roll.
He’s interacting with McKee’s book Story. I’ve had this book on my wishlist for over a year now, but haven’t pulled the trigger. Reading Berryman’s thoughts on it makes me think it may be […]

Roger Ebert on the nature of documentaries.
A reader writes:
“In your articles discussing Michael Moore’s film ‘Fahrenheit 9/11,’ you call it a documentary. I always thought of documentaries as presenting facts objectively without editorializing. While I have enjoyed many of Mr. Moore’s films, I don’t think they fit the definition of a documentary.”

It was hilarious in that the Christian stereotypes are over the top, but also spot on. It was embarrassing in that […]
Tonight I’m teaching a class from Eph. 5:21-6:9. This Sunday I’ll preach from the same text. That means I get to address the whole “wives submit to your husbands” issue. I’ve done quite a bit of research on this passage over the years and I think what it actually “says” is not […]
This post is addressed to all the worship leaders/planners and preachers out there.
This year the 4th of July lands on a Sunday. Are you going to be doing anything special in your assembly because of the holiday?
At Garnett we’re not going to do a “patriotic themed” service. At some point in the […]
I’m about halfway through Stephen Spielberg’s “Taken.” Good sci-fi-aliens-are-among-us-conspiracy-fun.
