Well it is official, I am the world's worst blogger. I go through periods where I just can make myself sit down and type. When I do I either have nothing to say or there are too many things to mention that it would take too much text to keep a reader's attention.
To be honest, I am forcing myself to make this entry. The girls are asleep and I should be since technically I am working tomorrow.
I thought about commenting about the aubs new coach, but there has been enough said about that already. My fishing has been non-existence of late and my poker exploits have not noteworthy.
The big news of the week has been either the corruption in Illinois or Obama offering the invocation to Rick Warren. I don't have much to say about Blagovich other than the accusations are disgusting. With regard to Warren, I have to say that the hoopla just goes to show that narrow mindedness is not the exclusive domain of the right. There is a fundamentalism on the left that is just as guilty of intolerance. Oh the irony.
Look I have my issues with Warren, no doubt. His spiritualized consumeristic brand of Christianity doesn't wash well with me. But, if you are going to bandy about inclusion as your agenda, then my friend, that means you have to include those that you disagree with. Apparently, the GLBT community doesn't apply inclusion to anything other than that which promotes there own agenda.
I don't know if Obama should have given that profile to Warren or not, I don't really care to be honest. I agree with what someone said on the AM news shows this morning, that by the time Aretha Franklin finished her song, no one will even remember Warren's prayer. I do know that Obama should be credited with continuing to demonstrate that he will govern the whole country and not be cow tied to one flank of the ideological spectrum. He still has alot to prove, but his demeanor and actions in the interim have done nothing but continue to give me hope that he is the right person for the job.
Let's pray it is so, even if you don't agree with me.
Merry Christmas Scott Cole- good post- well said...hope you and the family are doing well. Keep 2/18-19 open for Pete Rollins coming to town.

Oooiiiii! I didn't know that about Pete. Please tell more. I will have to bone up on How Not to Speak of God and read Fidelity of Betrayal before then. When is his latest released?
