Never describe the view of an opponent in a way he or she will not own. Rather describe their view so they say, "I couldn't have put it better myself." Only then should you proceed to refute the view. If instead you caricature your opponent-- you persuade no one.

The life of faith will always have a cross in the center of the story, a death as the penultimate event. There is no getting around it. Follow Jesus, and you— along with your dreams and desires, ambitions and goals— will die. But take heart: we serve the God who raises the dead.

The U.S. has broken its record for the most COVID-19 hospitalizations during the pandemic.
Patients with COVID now fill about 30% of ICU beds in the nation and pediatric COVID hospitalizations are also at the highest rate of the pandemic. n.pr/3r0Vm7u

The “prodigal son” parable comes as 3rd in a sequence of stories with escalating ratios of “lost-ness”:
Lost sheep: 1/100 = 1%
Lost coin: 1/10 = 10%
Lost son: it seems like 1/2 = 50%
By the end you realize BOTH sons leave the Father’s house, & he goes out to BOTH.
2/2 = 100%

Unmarried Christians, your identity is not anchored in your marital status now, but in your marital status then. thegspl.co/2GzIUr5

The mighty @Thrice have announced a new album called 'Horizons/East' that's out later this fall. Hear a brooding and deliriously catchy new song from it called "Scavengers" bit.ly/3wWP3Tb

Last month was the first March without a school shooting in 18 years.
That's it. That's the tweet.

Philosophy is merely thought that has been thought out. It is often a great bore. But man has no alternative, except between being influenced by thought that has been thought out and being influenced by thought that has not been thought out.

I'm a huge fan of both Terminator and Björk, so this was a treat to say the least! Thanks to all for allowing me to be involved, and especially to Matt Wilcox for letting me "sing" over his epic arrangement.
