Union Station Freeze for Peace (sort of a take off of Improv Everywhere)

The Stress of War (related to my PTSD post on Friday)

And here are some ultimate frisbee highlights since I was watching a tournament this weekend (not from the tournament though)

Okay, this isn’t necessarily my solution, just the most recent thing I’ve come up with, but it would take a LOT of effort for it to happen, and there are probably a great many problems to it as well (my more conservative brethren can speak up now). But, here’s my idea.
I think urban centers that have experienced the negative affects of absentee landlords (many slum lords) and now the recent foreclosure crisis, should make homesteading mandatory in those neighborhoods. What homesteading means is that a home must be owner occupied, …

My brother is standing next to me. He wants me to say something “awesome” about him.
It’s funny that I’m trying to do daily blog post and I’ve spent the last few Sunday posts saying go spend time with friends and family, but, well, maybe that’s a good idea. We are going to go watch my sister play some Ultimate Frisbee. Family is awesome. Go spend some time with them. Or call them. But let them know they are loved.

They finally got copies of Jesus For President at the public library, and I was one of the first on the hold list. Surprisingly, in all of Minneapolis, there where only three holds on the book. I wonder if that is at all telling of the type of people that are interested in the book (like, they don’t use the library? or something). Anyways, having been keeping up on Shane, The Simple Way and the sort of movement of interest, I definitely wanted to check out the book, and I …

Think back to the last time you saw a scary movie, or heard about or witnessed something that kept you up at night and that cluttered your thoughts throughout the day. Imagine experiencing the effects of that only 10 or 100 fold for the rest of your life, that’s only a glimpse of what it might be like to experience Combat Trauma, or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which the vast majority of our countries war veterans experience after their tours of duty.
Currently there are thousands of veterans returning from …

It’s that time again, looks like this worked pretty well last week. I read some interesting articles about immigration and race, a Brennan Manning Video and some thoughts from McClaren on simplicity. Pretty interesting, but I’d like to hear more.
I figured maybe I’d do a themed one this time. If you’ve come across a well written or challenging blog post or new article or something on the topic of Race recently I’d love to see it. Just post it (and your name or the name of the article) below…

Daniels post …

It occurred (or was pointed out) to me that I haven’t really posted anything just about me recently, and because there seems to have been an influx of new readers, it might be wise to say a little something, so you have an idea of who I am. I’ll be brief, but here’s a rambling random insight…
I’m 25, if you want to bother keeping track still (October 7th), but I married up; in age, style, looks, intelligence, charm, she’s way out of my league…which is why my kid is so …

I saw Desmond Tutu speak the other day at a Peace Jam event. This is a short promo video for the 2006 event, but still a good clip to hear him in. If you don’t know who he is you should pick up his book.

Now this is a little league game as it should be:

A trailer for a very interesting looking video, Lord Save Us From Your Followers (ht. lucas):

And one final sweet trailer, A Purple State of Mind (ht. TWotP):
