I always knew it was a problem and occasionally made the switch or avoided it altogether. But this now puts me over the top. I'm a believer.

Hulu.com baby

During my blog break (if you haven't noticed), I've been trying to keep a low profile. However, this has proved difficult when meeting more of the Sinn clan. In the meantime, when I'm not allowed to come over ( when wedding stuff needs to get done) I resort to the tube, you tube that is. Although, youtube does get boring, so I switched to www.hulu.com Go there to see videos from Fox, NBC, comedy central, and some full length films. They are only sprinkled with occasional 15 second commercials. Not bad at all. Before I came home I watched The Usual Suspects. You'd be asinine not to.

I'm done!

More from "The Reason for God"

Keller continues about God:

"Now, what happens if you eliminate anything from the Bible that offends your sensibility and crosses your will? If you pick up and choose what you want to believe and reject the rest, how will you ever have a God who can contradict you? You won't! You'll have a Stepford God! (earlier reference to the movie "The Stepford Wives") A God, essentially, of your own making, and not a God with whom you can have a relationship and genuine interaction. Only if your God can say things that outrage you and make you struggle (as in a real friendship or marriage!) will you know that you have gotten hold of a real God and not a figment of your imagination. So an authoritative Bible is not the enemy of a personal relationship with God. It is the precondition for it."

The Reason for God

I recently picked up a book authored by the pastor of Redeemer Church in Manhattan. This also happens to be the church I attend on a regular basis. "The Reason for God" gives answers to questions that both Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with. Although this is out of context for you (who reads this?), I thought it had a interesting perspective on the concept of freedom. He writes:

"Disciplines and constraints, then, liberate us only when they fit with the reality of our nature and capacities. A fish, because is absorbs oxygen from water rather than air, is only free if it is restricted and limited to water. If we put it out on the grass, its freedom to move and even live is not enhanced, but destroyed. The fish dies if we do not honor the reality of its nature."

-Dr. Timothy Keller.

A Question of Principle/The Holman Way

So I'm in line at Pace University behind three or four others. This is my second time in line, mind you. Five nauseating minutes pass to which I am now on deck awaiting two potential spots to speak with 1 of 2 girls that sit behind the desk. Most likely, both of these ladies are employed by our government funded work-study program. In other words, they're no older than me, just a little more knowledgeable than me in this area to which I am about to present my questions. As I'm glancing back and forth between the two desks, trying to anticipate who will be available first, just then a spot opens to which I, admittedly jump the gun a take a seat. As I'm getting comfy, the "lady" (for lack of a better word) says, "You usually wait until you are called, but I'll take you now"

Sure I jumped the gun, but I was hoping for a more pleasant response. I didn't get that. So I wasn't about to sit there and feel guilty while she helped me. I immediately said "fine then" got back up, put myself back in the front of the line as she said "It's okay, you can come up" I persisted, gave her my profile while shaking my head as I waited for the other lady to open up.

Maybe in a different setting, with a different mood I would have responded different. Or maybe I'm a Holman and that's the way it goes down.
