A Million Miles in a Thousand Years →
Check out the tour that my friend Susan is doing with Don Miller. Susan is the author of “Angry Conversations with God” and Don is the author of “Blue Like Jazz.” His upcoming book, “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” is amazing.
If you liked “Blue Like Jazz,” you will love “A Million Miles…”
I would not miss this for anything.

Sarcasm in the Bible →
Susan Isaacs warns us of the dangers of sarcasm.
“Sarcasm is fallen humor.” … the teacher insisted. Sarcasm had a ‘bitter root,’ and its flower was despair.
“Well there goes my day,” I replied. Sarcastically.

Nothing new, but he really nailed it.
I love you.
Yes, you.
It is not the easiest thing to get to, but if you click on the fourth segment in the video player, “Li’l Luther and Jay Bakker,” and scrub to about the seven...

In Ohio stopped at a gas station reading this on my way to see my sister and Pastor Nar in the Nashville area.
God is good.
I said it last Thursday at my last Metamorphosis in Ypsilanti, and I’ll say it again. Metamorphosis in Michigan is only going to get cooler now that I’ve left. Ben and Angie are amazing people. God knows what he is doing.
Keep the forthcoming Metamorphosis...
Crazy Christians
There is a vocal minority on both sides of the issue of theism. To some Christians it seems that all atheists have nothing better to do than complain about religion and do so mean-spiritedly.
