Today I was searching around YouTube for some didgeridoo information, when I came across this excellent reason to feel completely optimistic about the future of our race. What a trippy kid. (It cracks me up how he starts it off with, “Time to combine your skills.” Like everyone’s just sitting around with their home-made didgeridoo and a Rubik’s cube, thinking, “You know what? I think I’m ready to try doing both of these at once.”) Read more
Here’s an expansion upon my Tweet o’ this morning that read: “Watch that you don’t sacrifice being a Christian for doing Christianity.” Sometimes I think that in our efforts to be all that we can be when it comes to Christ, we make Him entirely too complicated. As a means of proving that he loves and cares for us, God became a man, absorbed into himself the full cost of every wrong we and any other human would ever do,... Read more
Holy cow! In response to yesterday’s “The Question of Premarital Sex Rears Its Ugly Head!”, many of you really stepped up with the Top Notch Quality Sex Advice! “Top Notch Quality Sex Advice.” I wonder if a business called that would fly? (more…) Read more
Breaking news! Dateline: John Shore’s dining room table. I, your humble blogger, have been invited back onto The John and Kathy Show (WORD-FM 101.5 Pittsburg), today, at 5:35 EST. We’re going to be talking about something that has lately been on my mind: The Lazy Christian. The show’s streamable live online, so don’t forget to take your laptop with you in your car so you can hear it while you’re driving home. Thanks! Wish me luck! We now return you... Read more
Now, where were we? Wow, that’s a lot of W’s, relatively speaking. Anyway, right. I was deciding, via, “Should the Christian I Am Condemn the Sins of the Non-Christian I Used to Be?”, whether or not I should repent of the not-exactly-what-you-want-to-put-at-the-top-of-your-resume-when-you’re-applying-to-get-into-heaven things I did back in the years when I was but a shallow callow youth.

[Hi guys. I’m going to leave up this post from yesterday until tomorrow morning, because how lame would it be to bump it on a Sunday? If you haven’t yet, please do share with us your recollection of 9/11. I’m probably going to create a separate page of these stories here on my (soon to be radically improved) blog, as a means of permanently offering them to anyone who at any time might care to add to or reflect upon...

Last night a woman emailed me the following, which I wanted to be sure to address this morning. I have two living parents who didn’t raise me. My maternal grandparents did. My grandfather has now passed away. I have been trying for 15 years to have a relationship with my mom. She told me she doesn’t want me in her life. I had one argument with my dad, who I reconnected with in the fourth grade, and most of our... Read more
From the BBC: US pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, has called off his controversial Koran-burning event. Here is his statement in full: This has been for us a very, very difficult, trying time. We have been in much thought and prayer over this whole period. A lot of times we were asked what would it take for us to call this thing off. We have thought it over many times. We felt very... Read more
Lately I’ve been getting some advice to the effect that I should condemn and repent of the sinning that I did before I was a Christian. That’s never before occurred to me as something about which I should be even vaguely concerned. In my teenage-to-early-adulthood years, I smoked a lot of weed, had sex with (not very many) girls to whom I wasn’t married, and for a year or so lived with a girlfriend to whom I was also not...
