Looking for the next wave,
In the article Popcorn in the Pews, there is a quote that sums up contemporary Christianity’s whorish need to be relevant. “Everybody is looking for the next wave. We went from cathedrals to churches with pews and vaulted ceilings to the Willow Creek model — the theater seats and big screens and big production — [...]
The Jellyfish Bible
Recently I learned of yet another Bible being produced for the masses. This article informs us of a “Bible” being produced that includes pictures of Hollywood stars.

Spring cleaning
Tomorrow starts spring cleaning in the Hollingsworth house. You men know what that means! (No sitting down, no meals, no sleep, the vacuum starts the “Shock and Awe” campaign at 7am sharp…) Now it’s not really that bad, I’m allowed a 15 min break at lunch! But all jesting aside, the impending rite of [...]
