I’m honored to be able to exchange links with a kindred spirit Bill Kinnon over at his blog. He posted one of my cartoons there, which I’m tickled over. I was glancing through his blog and came across this unbelievable church website. Like Bill said, you gotta see it to believe it.

I always love it when she speaks because she is a wise and articulate communicator of the essence of the gospel. She spoke on the prodigal son. Funny, because I’d been thinking about that story all week. On top of that, Lisa had just purchased Henri Nouwen’s book... Read more
Toby Selwyn, the young and articulate atheist over at A Load of Bright, has written an article and posted it recently on his site. The post is called A Humanist Lesson: The Prayer of Serenity.
