Evangelical teens rally in S.F.

An interesting article on how some believers are dealing with culture. I can't say that I agree, but see for yourself.

Jason's Music

I've known Jason Silver for a long time. His wife Joanne and my wife are cousins. Like me, he has worked in a few churches and has the scars to prove it. He now lives in Hamilton, and, amoung other things, writes a lot of music. You can click on the arrow to listen to a bit of it. or go to his site, Crooked Bush (that is not a political statement, although, perhaps, it could be).

A Powerful Preacher Who Tries to Deflect Public Acclaim - New York Times

John Stott is one of those people that one could/should aspire to emulate. He has devoted his life to Jesus, and does not make a big deal of it, although there certainly could be much fanfare around him.

Sheaf Editor Resigns Over Cartoon Publication

The cartoon publiched last week on "the Sheaf", portrayed Jesus having 'relations' with a pig. Obviously there has been a HUGE stink about this, as there should be. Especially considering that the same paper refused to publish the Danish cartoons refering to Muslims. I just don't get it.

Oh how the Mighty have Fallen

Don't get me wrong...I still love Eddie. He was the guy who brought me true rock and roll at a time when I was still listening to the Imperials. That's why the pics in this link are sad. He was the guitar god of a generation, but the band (Van Halen) hasn't put out anything in years, and the future doesn't look promising.
