Calling the Creative
Hey - could you help me out here? I'm trying to think of secular cartoons that present illustrations of living in recovery (from addiction) or basic Christian principles.
This could be a specific episode (i.e. the smurfs episode where happy shares his lunch with a leper) or more general (i.e. Garfield illustrates gluttony). Please post these in the comments section for all to see. Thank you.

The everfading blog
I'm currently considering ending this blog. I guess I'm questioning whether or not I really have anything worthwhile to say in this context any longer. At one point I believe I did. That was reflected in the knowledge that a number of people read my blog. Now let me be clear: If everyone stopped reading this blog and I felt I had something worthwhile to say, I would continue to say it. But the fact that the number of readers or linkers has decreased should probably not surprise me since I'm simultaneously feeling like perhaps my blogfulness is fading. Something to consider, I guess.
In other news:
I am SO blessed. And I don't like to use that term, but really, I really, really mean it. This past week I was able to really help a guy find some peace in the midst of life chaos. I feel blessed because I know I can't grant peace. But Christ in me/through me was able to really help someone and that makes my job the best job in the whole world.
**Oh Great God, use me more - help me connect and relate to these guys in really cool ways.**

Tired of labels
That's it. Read the subject. or better here
MEMO
Re: all things church.
To: whom it may concern.
Please note, I am tired of labels. Simple Churches, Multi-cultural Churches, Willow Churches, Complex Churches, Purpose-driven Churches, House Churches, Boomer Churches, Gen-X Churches, Cell-Churches, We meet at an odd time of day (i.e. 6:19 pm) churches, Candle Lit Churches, Inward Churches, Seeker Churches, and on and on and on.
Note: Just be the church. To the best of your ability. Give it ALL you have. Be hardcore about it. Be sincere. Love. BE THE CHURCH. Don't spend much time labeling yourself...don't be arrogant and critical. Don't label others. Love your neighbor. Love God.
Um, that's it.
