Alas…they have unveiled me

Posted by: Drew on: 30 January 2007

Hey it’s not my fault my diet has so much French fries and pizza in it. If Pioneer would just learn how to cook something besides chicken and beef I’d be all set.

our neighbor…all of God’s children

Posted by: Drew on: 22 January 2007

Meet Your Meat Video

Posted by: Drew on: 22 January 2007

This is just a trailer for longer 13 minute video from PETA. (edit: It now is the full thing) For the full thing go to Meat.org. Unfortunately, I know that even with my vegetarian diet, I am still contributing to these atrocities. I really wish I could do more, but at the moment [...]

our family is too small

The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.

Why is a married Christ so threatening?

Posted by: Drew on: 13 January 2007

Over the Holiday Break I was feeling a bit heretical and decided to read The DaVinci Code, and a similar book called the Expected One. One of the basic premises of these books, if you don’t know, is that Jesus of Nazareth married the woman named Mary Magdalene. In one of the [...]

his…followers shared in it.

Posted by: Drew on: 10 January 2007

What made the teaching of Jesus different and apparently so hard to accept then as now, was that it required a critical reassessment of the structures and values and attitudes of human society as his listeners and followers shared in it.
