Seriously, it’s as though they haven’t heard anything on doing the funky love dance their entire lives! And, of course I’m good with that because we want to reach everyone we can with […]

The winner of the most outrageous date contest was tough. Once again there were a lot of hilarious entries but we could not go with another tie (b/c this is a low budget blog) so I will post the story of the winner below. This time around they receive a $10 gift card to Starbucks […]

Confusing Trends — part 1

Rant coming your way in 5…4…3…2…1 About 15 years ago a phenomenon hit that I can only describe like a defibrillator on a heart attack victim. Only there were a lot of victims—millions.

But will they link back?

Ok amnesty buddies. Let’s beat technorati at their increasingly exclussive game. Every blog showing here was linked on my blogroll, but only a few got picked up by technorati thus giving anyone credit beyond a blogroll showing. I believe our friend, jon swift had a great idea but would be gravely dissappointed to learn that so […]

A Death a Week — Part 2

You’ve heard me say the following before, but let me remind you; “A church is not an organization, it’s an organism.” That means the church is alive.
