Consumerism will kill us all!

2008 State of the Union Address
I just read the transcript for President Bush's State of the Union Address before Congress and I must say that I was rather impressed. I have never known the man to deliver a riveting speech, but the text of this address is profound nonetheless. He of course reports on the various successes that …

Ringing in the New Year with Hobbits
We did it! For a number of years now, I have had a dream of watching all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back in one big marathon. More than that, I wanted to watch the "Extended" version. Eleven hours and twenty-one minutes! Well, I finally had my dream come true. This past Tuesday, …

Prayer for the next level
Lord in Heaven, I'm sensing your call to take my steps into a new level of relationship with you. It's more than a desire in my heart. It's more than a thought or a notion. It's a repetitive prompting that you have more for me and a constant reminder that I need it. I've washed over it quite often. …
