Liquor Me Up With Some Religion Already
Posted by dewde in General on 28. Jun, 2009 | 36 Comments
I’m not advocating that people who do not use cuss words start using them in order to artificially impress others. Unless of course someone has a video camera rolling because as that scene plays out in my mind it is awkward and hilarious. What I am advocating, or at least questioning, is whether or not we should be judging Christians who already use cuss words as a natural part of their vocabulary.

We tried to warn her. She thought it was funny at first. You’ll notice her hamming it up, until the candy bit her back!
Experience is the best teacher, right?

You may have spotted me making my rounds on the Internet this week.
First, one of my posts was picked up as an article for Transparent Christian Magazine, a site run by Jason Elkins. Quite an honor.

I reach up and write with large, friendly letters the words “Stupid American” into the fog, followed by an arrow that points down and ends where my face begins. The words are written backwards inside the bus so that spectators outside the bus can read them in the right direction.

Sometimes advice stands on its own. You read it. You poke it. You lift its flaps and test its zippers. You give it an apprehensive sniff. You compare it to your experiences, and then move on. Maybe you add it to your mental bag of tricks, maybe you don’t.
Other times, you hear advice and your [...]

Exactly how messed up do you have to be to allow me to guest-post on your blog? As messed up as the kids over at ChurchCrunch, apparently. I was accepted into a group blogging project. The idea is that 16 different people read the same book and report on one chapter each.

My Arrest Was The Best Thing That Could Have Happened

I’ve shared with you that my arrest was the best thing that could have happened. I don’t change that belief. I ask that you judge me as a man, not as a sex offender. That doesn’t define me. It’s something I did. And believe me, I am not trying to minimize that. It’s horrible and something I can’t imagine doing again.
A Question Twice The Size Of My Large Intestine
Posted by dewde in Parenting on 03. Jun, 2009 | 26 Comments
And there it was. The moment. The kind of moment that, as a parent, you both long for and fear at the same time. But as an Uncle, you get utterly blindsided by its very existence. One second I’m sucking down a hot dog twice as long as my large intestine, the next I’m staring down a once in a lifetime opportunity to validate this boy’s very existence.
