Jesus and Hitler: Second Coming
Mike Clawson directed me to this movie. Maybe the title is best. Too bad its not actually a movie or it might be worth seeing in a dumb and dumber kind of way. It is a funny concept clip none the less. Send to Facebook
Tuesday is for Thomas
I’m starting a new Tuesday blog inspired by Thomas Merton. Merton has had a major role in my life for the last 12 years. At various points, I have read and reread New Seeds of Contemplation and have used A Year With Thomas Merton for several years. Indeed, Merton is one of the more consistent [...]
The ‘Other Forum’ that took place in January
While the WEF was taking place in Davos Switzerland, another forum was happening in Nairobi Kenya. The World Social Forum, met…though I am not sure it went nearly as smoothly as the WEF.

The global partnership Avaaz is working to raise a worldwide voice of solidarity through an international virtual march.” In the words [...]
Who will get to heaven? Look who has the power now!
Scott McKnight highlighted the recent article in USA Today entitled Saving the E-Word. While i think the article is interesting, the link to another article entitled Who will get into heaven was slightly more telling. The article incorporates the voice of Phyllis Tickle who, very interestingly, points out the importance of the semanitics used when [...]
Today, Australia became an interesting place…thanks to globalization
So lets see how many Australians, Americans, or English laugh… Did you know on this day in history in the year 1788, the first convicts arrived in Australia from the UK? It’s true. Speaking of globalization, did you also know that the Zimbabwe dollar has an expiration date and that McDonalds now serves over 54 [...]

The World Economic Forum continues to take place in Davos this week and there are few conversations (at least from my perspective) which ought to be making the headlines.
