Okay okay, to give you a bit more of an idea of what Blue Like Jazz is like, I shall cram in an idea that I thought was interesting. This is a combination of quotes condenced down to give you the picture:
“What metaphores do we consider when we consider the topic of cancer? … We [...]
Wow, that was a quick read. I’m done with Blue Like Jazz - Nonreligious Thoughts On Christian Spirituality in three days. I love Miller’s writing style. It’s open and honest with a bit of sarcasm, never taking itself too seriously — kind of like a good blog. I had read a pretty harsh review of [...]
Now that I have another book down, I can begin to read “Blue Like Jazz” by Don Miller. As I sit down to read tonight I have just prepared a lovely beverage that is often over looked these days in the name of convenience — the root beer float. You must begin to prepare at [...]
Well I finally finished “Mere Christianity” by C. S. Lewis while I was at the beach. It’s a small book but it took a while for me to read because I would have to go back an re-read a lot to make sure I am grasping the entire concept. He deals with some deeper issues [...]

A couple of things have been stacking up to bring a certain part of my life under conviction — sermons about the christian’s civil responsibility to government, friends who point out irony and [...]
I was watching TV the other night and was getting ready to go to bed. Somehow I flipped to a channel that was playing the movie Adaptation. I picked it up at the beginning and couldn’t stop watching it. I ended up staying up until 3 a.m. The whole movie was such a relief after [...]
Regarding a previous post that got on the topic of Joel Osteen, he recently posted an apology to his wishy-washy interview on Larry King LIVE - I think it’s more damage control than an apology though. Anyway, as I was reading over some other blogs about this dude, I noticed a pattern of response in [...]
Happy 4th everyone. I want to document something that I love about this celebration. There is something special about the annual lottery of rain during the local professional fireworks show. We get together with friends and family sometime during the day. As the day progresses, the haze gets thicker and clouds begin to gather. You [...]
