I confess that my kids are out of town w/Grandma and Grandpa for a few days. I confess that I rarely worry about the safety of my children, except when they are in someone else’s care. I confess that used to struggle to understand how people could be consumed with worry or fear… and then I had children.
I confess that June 24th Aaron Sorkin’s new show The Newsroom starts airing on HBO. I confess that I really want HBO now. I confess that having HBO would be very bad for me, as it would only increase the amount of time I waste watching television. The last time I got HBO was so I could watch the Hanks/Spielberg miniseries The Pacific, which was not great.
I confess that I am a NASCAR fan, and that this makes no sense in the context of the rest of my life. I confess that despite wanting to watch the race yesterday, I only watched a few 5 minutes segments and then the final 40 laps.

Granted, I had nearly everything that was going to happen in the movie figured out within the first 5 minutes. But there was something about the sympathetic Arabian Sheik that I was drawn to. It’s worth watching. Plus it’s at Glenwood & I really want people to support the art theaters.
I confess that my 2nd book Public Jesus will be released on this coming Friday. I confess that I really hope people will read it and interact with some of these ideas. I confess that I could have never written this book w/out Redemption Church’s support and the freedom they give me to try and speak truthfully about the world we live in and the gospel that is drawing us toward the future of God.
I confess that I’m praying for the folks from
I made my confession, you make yours!
