Bible Verses of the Day: Acts 19:23-29
23 About that time no little disturbance broke out concerning the Way. 24A man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the artisans. 25These he gathered together, with the workers of the same trade, and said, “Men, you know that we get our wealth from this business. 26You also see [...]Voices in the Night: What keeps *you* awake?
(Hi friends. Tis been awhile.) Lately, I have been thinking about the Biblical stories that star God’s voice. (You know, humans actually hearing God in the middle of the night and assuming it’s someone else.) I wish I could say God’s voice is what’s waking me up at 4 in the morning. Mostly, I fear that [...]somasoul's den of Squid death!

- Baltimore, Maryland. 20,000 Leagues under the sea.
- About Me:
- I live in Baltimore and go to a Mennonite Church. I have four kids. I like Mosh Pits and loud music. I play the drums and guitar. When I need an emotional lift I armwrestle little kids. I never lose. It's an ego boost.
I'm at a point where I'm trying to not catagorize myself. I'm just trying to follow Jesus.

Humanity on the Fringes of a Moshpit
Brandon and I pull up to the Ottobar, a punk rawk club in Baltimore City, at about 9:30. GBH, a legendary English punk outfit, is playing tonight and we don't want to miss the action. Swarms of punkers stand outside the club smoking cigarettes. Baltimore's new ban on indoor smoking is displeasing to the group of rabble-rousers, anarchists, and indie types despite their big government politics. Brandon meets and greets. He knows more people than I since I left the scene; a pair of older guys in… Continue

When busyness trumps all.
Throughout April I've been totally swamped. My mind is like a jumble of frogs in a dryer. I don't know what that means but it sounds fitting. The first of week of April I was in Newark NJ for training on Wednesday and Thursday. I came back Friday. When you miss one or two days and you're in sales everything piles up on you. You have 100 emails to check, 20 voicemails, orders to fill, and customers that need to be seen. So, anyway, I come back Friday and handle all that crap. Then I'm off again… Continue

No more violence.........
Now it's all sex. FoxNews.com most read 3/18/08: 7 stories sexual related. 9 Stories a mixture of violence and crime. One related to gambling. 4 about celebrities. The happiest story has to do with a man going through a bitter divorce. This isn't all FoxNews' fault. These are the stories we, the people, have read most from their site. New N.Y. Governor Paterson Admits to Affairs With Several Women 4.2 Million Credit Card Numbers Stolen From Supermarket Chain Texas Woman Sues American Airline… Continue

Advocacy Groups are dumb.
Advocacy groups are dumb. There. I said it. You don't have to agree with me, especially if you are part of an advocacy group. But someone had to say it and seeing as I'm the only one around here to take notice I had to speak up. It occured to me recently at work that our mission statement, our objectives, everything that we say we are and what we do is a bunch of crap. We say we want to do something like "Provide the best resources in our field" or some junk like that. Look, all we want to do i… Continue

Christianity in Baltimore.
I came to Baltmore half wanting to start a church, half wanting to be lazy and not do anything. It's a bad combination of things to have going on at the same time. On the one hand I could start a church and have it doomed to failure; on the other hand I could drink myself in a semi-conscious state and eat Utz Party Mix. Both plans of action have their ups and downs. Have you ever been to Baltmore? Sure, it's a dirty city. But it's also lots of fun. If you like to drink beer in dark bars and pee… Continue
