[johnny cash - american iv] i got sent this wendell berry essay against the iraq war. nice work by berry... there was a article in my school's newsletter this week in response to all the anti-war articles lately. he was arguing for the attack on iraq as a justified preventive action but in the midst of this line of thinking, he cited the dropping of the atomic bombs in ww2 as an example of

i've got to get in a better groove of posting things on this blog. i guess it's not that different from my regular journal where the entries occur with the same sort of frequency. this potential war with iraq has got me thinking through the issues of just war theory. is this really a last resort? if iraq continually shows (begrudgingly) that they don't have weapons of md, doesn't that means

i've been reading some cool stuff this term. stuff from MLK, jr. and stuff on christology. there's been a obsession within xianity with the idea of martyrdom and suffering for one's faith. there's the expectation in the words of jesus x that xians wil suffer. so why don't we in america suffer for the kingdom? that's actually a question that was raised in class the other week. the lack of

i've been hearing this song "I'm Still Here" quite frequently on the radio and i can already see it coming. some post-modern ministry guru guy at my school will use this to talk about the real desire for experience in the post-modern person. s/he will probably have charts with one column expressing the characteristics of the modern human and the other highlighting the post-modern. and then, s/

just heard a great show last week KCRW: Left, Right & Center on the bush tax cuts. the liberal democrat of the this panel was calling out g.w.bush on his tax cuts. though w claims to be a xian, he doesn't seem to be driven by the same ethics that caused jesus to overturn the moneychangers' tables in the temple. how have we let the market determine our morals? why do we let the market

i'm back on track here. took some time off for holidays and whatnot. i hate xmas. i read three novels over the break. that was incredibly lovely. it's been a while since i've had the chance to read something without footnotes... school's back on track and i'm sure i'll have more stuff to throw out there in the next couple of days. oh yeah, i decided the last few weeks to try to bring back

i'm printing my final drafts for one of my classes and i thought i'd present my favorite quotes of the term. "worship becomes the communal solipsism led by vestal virgins." - alan roxburgh "with anal play, the infant child is already becoming a philosopher of the human condition." - ernest becker, THE DENIAL OF DEATH

i am impressed by the level of transparency that one of my friends has shown recently. he just moved back to his parents' place since he was short on cash. and i asked him to come out to group on sunday. he said no but then went on to tell me that he didn't quite feel comfortable to be there as of yet. i think it's very cool that he can be self-aware and allow me into his thinking. it seems

i'm writing some papers right now since the semester is drawing to a close... i'm finding myself frustrated with the format of paper writing. there is no room for engaging with own's writing, unless there is a heavy use of footnotes which make the paper incredibly cumbersome. i don't think linearly (hardly anyone does, right?) and it's troubling that i cannot express that sort of a flow in an

i'm done messing around with this for the day. i'm sure i'll have more randoms as the day goes on and i write my papers on the po-mo church...

my first blog... when i set this blog up, they asked which template i wanted to use. i chose currency. so that's the style within which my thoughts are presented. a note on currency... this past sunday, i was talking to some folks about the inherent goodness within creation, that the celts believed in a radical redistribution of goods since all are god's gift to us. when we eat or clothe
