Unions today are corrupt and yet at the same time are vital. I’m not the only person who has noticed this. The question now is “what can we do to fix them?”

Bill O’Reilly backs public option. Whaa?!

New song from the upcoming Converge album. It sounds pretty awesome.

Finally, I’ve been following along with this pastor’s blog. Recently he’s had a couple amazing entries. The first one is interesting because of this quote:

By signing this document they are officially sealed in the eyes of the government and before God. I love this moment because the bride writes her new name for the first official time.

Wow. Making the connection between God and government and saying that signing the document is what seals them in the eyes of God…that’s pretty interesting. I’ve never heard a pastor say that before. Not to mention how he writes that a woman writes her “new” name. Evidently he hasn’t been around many situations where the woman keeps her name.

The whole second linked entry is fascinating as it deals with the idea of masculinity within Christianity. What constitutes being a “man” and why is it important? What kind of images is the video showing by which it seeks to show what constitutes manhood? It reminded me of something you might see at Mars Hill Church, but not as “hip.”
