Yesterday was our first day back from vacation. As you probably already know Wes spent the break with his family and I went with my wife to Italy. It was sort of our late anniversary gift/early graduation from med school (her) present/last vacation until she finishes residency. It was amazing, inspiring, and exhausting. So, for those of you that are interested I thought I would share a bit of my trip and close with a few reflections. We began our... Read more

    After much thought and consideration we have no idea what Doug Giles is talking about. Then again, we never really understand anything he says. It’s probably because we don’t have “game”. Read more

    We’re back! We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year’s. We definitely did. (More on that later) Apparently while we were gone the apocalypse began. See what happens when you go on vacation? The world literally comes to an end. This story was on the news here in Memphis last night since it took place in not too far away (but not far enough) Arkansas. So-called “scientific experts” would have you believe that what is becoming... Read more

    This might be a little early, but New Year’s Day is less than 2 weeks away. Plus, this will probably be our last post until the new year. Wes and I will both be out of the country for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be in Italy and he’s going to Alabama, which is essentially the same thing as a foreign country. So, while I’m hanging out with the Pope and Wes is doing whatever it is... Read more

    If you missed Saturday Night Live this weekend, then you missed one of the best shows in years. Case in point from Weekend Update: “The poverty line: that invisible line that separates Walmart from Target.” Also hilarious, this sketch in which Jesus has a little talk with Tebow and his tebowmates, I mean teammates. After the game yesterday, this sketch sounds prophetic…. Read more

    For The Chrisagis Brothers, Lord we thank You. They have given us some much joy over the last year. They’ve offered us racist toys. They’ve taught us about the rapture. Warned us about the dangers of gold, girls, and glory. And no one would dare question their patriotism. Now the twin Christian singers are filling in for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers with their version of “With Bells On”. Read more

    After finally accepting the fact that he will not be allowed to violate copyright laws by reposting and critiquing his appearance on The Colbert Show, William Tapley, better known as The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse, has now posted a response to both Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper. Surprisingly he acknowledges that both are funny him and he actually doesn’t mind them poking fun at him. Not surprisingly he’s still convinced that the Denver International Airport is full... Read more

    This is fascinating. At least to me. Most churches are worried that theives or pranksters will come by and steal the baby Jesus from their nativity scene. This church, however, encourages people to take the baby Jesus because they “didn’t want to be found nailing Jesus down or tying him to an anchor or putting him on a chain.” The pastor adds, “Christ is a gift. He doesn’t belong to us and so you can’t steal him from... Read more

    The may be the greatest melding of American ideology and Christian theology we’ve ever witnessed. The one woman kick line just takes this thing to a whole other level. Enjoy. Read more

    So, this isn’t an American story, but it definitely could be. A church in New Zealand put up this billboard of the Virgin Mary in a effort to make the point that her pregnancy was “real.” Unconventional for sure, but apparently it has stirred quite a bit of controversy. Here’s the story….. Virgin Mary and the positive pregnancy test: Church launches controversial advert campaign in time for Christmas By Lee Moran A controversial New Zealand church has rolled... Read more
