Quick Hits
- Apparently someone thinks I’m too liberal and signed me up for email updates from GOP.com. I got an email from John McCain yesterday. Needless to say, I unsubscribed.
- The Olympics were more exciting while swimming was going on. The only exciting thing the past 5 days has been Usain Bolt.
- Driving home from Seattle on Tuesday morning, on 4 hours of sleep in the previous 40 hours, I had both a double shot mocha and a RockStar energy drink. Neither of them had any affect on me whatsoever. I was pretty messed up!
- School starts next week so I’ll finally have some good content for all of you wondering where my good posts have gone.
Blogs
- Donald Miller is giving the benediction Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. He is a great Q/A time about it HERE.
- Matt Singley has started a series on “dirty church secrets.” Both Jay and I agree he is turning into Anne Jackson with his titles 🙂 With that said, he had a great post on The Sabbath.
- Rich Kirkpatrick on the myth that worship can’t be anything like the Olympic Opening Ceremony. I could probably write something similar to this, but he says it a lot better than I can.
- At this point there are too many blogs to list that have written about Healer. I think I’m going to wait until more information comes out before I come to a decision on how to or not to respond to all this.
- TC Robinson on postures of worship.
News
- Obama chose some guy I’ve never heard of to be his VP (now all of you know that I don’t follow politics too closely).
- I find it ironic that the leaders behind the latest movement of lowering the drinking age are college professors and administrators. They can talk all they want about teaching responsible drinking, but all it would mean is a wash out first year of college even more than it already is.
- Kids entering high school this year have a different mindset: check this out. Quite assuming.
- A bikini clad barista threw boiling hot water on a man who flashed her. I can’t help but laugh.
- Apparently John McCain has no idea how many houses he owns. Does he have a PR person working for him or is he just that dense?
