Today is Ash Wednesday.  A very select few people understand why this day sucks for me.  Relating to how I spent Ash Wednesday last year.  If you don't know, don't ask, I won't tell you.  Even though it's not the same calendar date, it still sucks.  So thanks for letting me vent about that.

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check that machine, there's sure to be that call

For anyone who has never heard of Jim Wallis, I encourage you to check out his new book, "God's Politics : Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It", which, in its first week in release is at #2 on the Amazon sales rank.  My copy arrived yesterday and so far it has not disappointed.  Wallis is the editor of Sojourners, an incredible ( Read more... )

I like reality TV.  There.  I said it.  At first I typed "I watch reality TV," but that's not the full truth.  I actually like it.  Some of it, anyway... I draw the line at a woman trying to figure out who her real dad is, the spouse-swapping shows, and ones that I think are generally manipulative.  But the two that I Tivo and watch (and love) are ( Read more... )
