Today was one heck of a dreary day in Oregon. The high temperature was 35, the low was 29. It was pretty foggy the entire day. Maybe we’ll get to see the sun sometime soon.

    Dude, that Piper video was intense. I kinda got scared…

    I remember when Mark just wore normal clothes. When did he go and get all “hipster” on us?

    My favorite part of the Nightline piece was him saying he struggles with humility. Now everyone that absolute hates him heard what they wanted to hear.

    I think the hipster happened when he got book deals and speaking engagements. Clothes cost money.

    I have always loved Piper’s thoughts. I don’t always agree with him. But, I have the hardest time watching on video. I can’t. I don’t know why. He always seems so arrogant and sarcastic. but maybe that’s me. I’m always pissed off at something after watching him speak :)

    @ Cool Christianity Article-
    I like how he notes our generation defines Jesus as a “hippie counter cultural activist” and our generation following as we incorporate an “indie-arthouse” style. It makes me laugh, actually. What a way to define what we are and I see that too… Of course, he drives home a significant point- “Lest it sound like I am praising the Sufjans of the world and criticizing the, um, Toby Macs, let me just say: I’m not totally convinced that these “more authentic” Christian hipsters are substantively different than the inauthentic kind. At the end of the day, cool is cool—whether painstakingly strived for or halfway stumbled-upon.” Good link.

    Re: Times Article on Driscoll… Aren’t we all just distracted by the wrong questions??? I mean, really, who would Jesus smack down?
