Highlight(s) of the week: (1) Amanda and I took Giselle to get her pics with Santa (because we’re pagans like that). (2) We also had a chance to go to Longwood Gardens with our friends, Ron and Juli. (3) 3 semesters of my MDiv have been completed. 3 to go!
- Tim’s post on “You Can’t Ruin Christmas,” which is a reminder to focus on the right things about Christmas (but with a twist).
- Sojourner’s wonderful Advent article (reminder?) on the myth of redemptive violence in the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Peter Rollins’ post called “The Rapture,” reminding Christians that God really cares about the earth and the people who attach themselves to it
- Adam WC’s post on homosexuality called “The Bible & Homosexuality: Enough with the Bible Already,” which I disagreed with, but I think it’s worth considering.
iPhone app I’m happy about: (1) “Open Table,” which allows you to make restaurant reservations from your phone (as long as the restaurant is registered with Open Table). (2) Have you ever wanted to try a new beer and didn’t know what to get or maybe what one was like? Then, “Beer Brands” is for you! It has listings of hundreds (thousands?) of beers.
Something(s) that blew my mind: (1) What Eagles am I watching on TV?
Had a good laugh at:
Job update: still working at Calvary, but still looking. Had an interview for a youth pastor position and waiting to hear back.
Seminary update: 3 semesters done, 3 to go!
Looking forward to: (1) Continuing to observe Advent through candles and fasting. (2) Christmas! (3) Getting together with Todd tomorrow

hey, wow thanks for including my post in the same with the others - you really are a good friend (please disregard the re-gifted fruitcake I sent you).
Appreciated the Rollins parable. I like the point he makes. It’s interesting that the story in a brief blog post points closer to the heart of God than the entire Left Behind series.
enjoyed the remaining links - interesting point that sojourners makes but am not sure that one can compare dropping the responsibility of dropping nuclear bombs and the effects of global warming (I say that as one who loves the earth).
Yep, 3 semesters down, 3 to go … that sounds nice.
