Please stand by

March 14th, 2005 ~ Potpourri for 100, Alex

Remember when that message actually used to appear on TV sometimes? If you’re under 30, maybe you don’t. But anyway, we’re returning to those grand days for just a bit here.
In the course of trying to make adjustments to some of the functions, we chewed up some programming somewhere. So for right now, comments and […]

Speaker’s corner

March 14th, 2005 ~ La Vida Iglesia

People from BIOLA are trying something very new in terms of building Christian communities and engaging in cultural dialogue.
We are attempting to change how Christians gather and learn together. Contemporary methods usually amount to a lecture with some questions and answers (if there’s time) afterward. At Speaker’s Corner, we will provide a forum for […]

Quick fast thoughts

March 13th, 2005 ~ La Vida Iglesia

This evening, I finished up all the food I couldn’t eat starting tomorrow — hence the oddball combination of buttered toast, white wine and merangues. Someday I hope to be a completely wonderful person who doesn’t cave at all to the spirit of Mardi Gras, who lets Cheesefare Sunday come and go without casting a […]

Blogging for Beulah-land

March 11th, 2005 ~ La Vida Iglesia

Well, what do you know? Christian bloggers are going to have our own convention. Still a lot that isn’t known about it, from the looks of things, but I think it sounds very interesting.
It may sound a little silly. What are Christian bloggers going to say to each other that just bloggers or just […]

Did Garry Trudeau just kill Duke?

March 8th, 2005 ~ Potpourri for 100, Alex

Did Trudeau decide that “Doonesbury” character Duke had to go? You decide.
If Trudeau thought that the cartoon character couldn’t live on once the real-life (so to speak) inspiration was gone, I give him credit for making a classy decision. But Greg the Husband’s take is that there is no officially no reason ever to […]

Weekend update

March 5th, 2005 ~ Orthodox perspective

A heavy work-week hasn’t enabled me to scan the blogosphere this week, so I’m reveling in a Saturday pot o’ tea and chance to make the rounds.

From Touchstone’s Mere Comments blog, this on the latest concerning what the Anglican bishops are doing with their current cultural warfare. It’s encouraging that they can be clear-spoken when […]

The appeal of bad movies

March 4th, 2005 ~ Just a slice of heaven

Bad movies can be as much fun to watch sometimes as good movies. Or that’s the theory I’m working on, based on the fact that I picked up the DVD of “Godzilla” for $9.99 last night and actually stayed up late watching it.

Now, we’re not talking about the old, old Japanese versions where a screechy […]

The liberal dilemma

March 3rd, 2005 ~ Political circus

One can have a lot more use for the secular left than I do and still see that all the recent good news in the Mid-east — Iraq’s election, Lebanon’s protests, Saudi Arabian elections — is bad news for the DNC. How do you keep saying that the war was a horrible mistake, that Bush […]

A six-hour talk on two screens

March 1st, 2005 ~ Orthodox perspective

Okay, I’ve been thinking about the talk by Dr. Reynolds and I think I’ve got it. Here’s the sum-up:

The cultural war is going much much worse than you thought.
The usual ideas to fix it won’t work.
Now is the time for each individual Christian to get to work as if it mattered, because it does.

There, that […]
