“…For every eclipse that stares at me from the other side of a paper cup of espresso,
I light a match beneath the kettle,
and for every set of lips attached and equipped with that program to seek success,
I bleed my ethics at a slow drip.”
I just saw this documentary, “It Might Get Loud.” A-friggin’-mazing! This was the highlight to me! Everything that I read or hear or see about Jack White makes me love him more and more. I’m kind of obsessed!
Sundays of ordinary time are not so ordinary. They do truth. They do world history. They do the meaning of human existence. In this doing, we are spiritually formed and shaped by the story that is above all stories through the remembrance of God’s mighty acts of salvation, the experience of God’s presence through signs and symbols, and the anticipation of a good end to history.

“The Internet’s completely over,” Prince declared to England’s Daily Mirror, sounding like he’s ready to party not quite like it’s 1999, but more like ‘79. “I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else [digitally]. They won’t pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can’t get it….All these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.”
“The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.” -Eric Schmidt
So this has been my profile picture on facebook for a few months now.
My wife and I were in the Louvre about a year and a half ago and I casually stepped in front of the picture, pointed, and said, “He Hun, take this one.” She took the shot, and we didn’t think of it again until I put it up on facebook. Well my friend Justin, saw this picture recently and said, “dude you know the Inter net joke about this?” “Internet Joke?” I replied. So he sent me this.
“Jesus is the central figure of the Christian faith. He is the one that reverses the entire human situation. The first Adam plunged the human race into rebellion against God. Humanity has made a mess of this world (not only human beings, but the whole world), so God became incarnate, uniting himself to humanity, so that God himself in perfect union with humanity could reverse the human plight cause by Adam and perpetuated by every one of us. So God in Christ not only rescues us, he rescues the whole creation.” - Robert Webber, Who Gets to Narrate the World?, (Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2008), 26-27
“21 So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. 22 Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.” 1 Cor 15:21-22 (NLT)
