You can also see a spreadsheet of the bill that passed that House here.

In perusing both, I find no mention of Christian thrift.  Hmmm … guess we will have to remain exiles within the empire!Related Posts:

In the meantime, enjoy Keith Olbermann’s latest special comment.  Says a world about the last 8 years.  Also, can those who constructively critique other institutions (i.e., the US American church in it’s public form) sense a bit of the same?  Governing from fear, managing from fear, evangelizing from fear … it’s all from the same angle.

Enjoy …

Soon I’ll be posting a series of blogs that will catch you up on my life and times.  The theme will be addressing the question of “Why?”

Some of the upcoming posts include:

  • “Why I’m Serving as a Shelter Manager”
  • “Why I Voted for Obama”
  • “Why I Don’t Want to Go to Church Anymore”
  • “Why Stewardship Sucks”
  • “Why Preaching Has Been too Narrowly Defined”

If any of these peek your interests, if you want to know what’s going on in my life, or if you just want to see how I’ll make a public fool of myself be sure to check back soon.

In the meantime …

Be the Peace!Related Posts:
