i went thru a phase of really enjoying dilbert comics and bought a whole bunch of the annuals and watched the super-secret-flippinly-weird-but-fun short-lived dilbert animated series (thankx simon van wyk) and i really dig it because that's what got me hooked on Pearls Before Swine cartoons by stephan pastis which are really amazing and which arrive in my inbox on a daily basis and so i have not read dilbert for a long time but [...]
finished reading Ted Dekker new book 'burn' last nite that he wrote with some woman lady - dude, don't do that again. Took me so long to get into it because nothing was happening - well there was a plot and some money and a fire and a whole colony of dead gypsy's except the three who escaped that the story revolves around, but just not in the must-turn-the-page thriller mode Dekker normally works into [...]

i had this epiphony in the shower the other day - if the only Bible'ing and praying you do is at your church gathering on a sunday once a week, then you don't have a relationship with God, you have a relationship with church. and i think that's how a lot of people live - their spiritual life is their relationship with the meeting on a sunday it becomes a little bit memento meets inception [...]
just sitting sermonising at my folks house and my dad came in and chatted to me about this amazingly hectic book he is reading about four of the people who saved jewish people during the second world war - i've booked it after him [avenue of the righteous - peter hellman] cos it sounds like the kind of book everyone should read the one huge debate that raged during that time apparently was whether or [...]
i just had - or am having - a conversation (live on my blog wall actually) with a new friend (i think i can call you that?) called clinton... i don't really know clinton all that well, in fact we just got chatting back and forth on one of my blogs which was a pearls before swine cartoon talking about dumb people and clinton took offence that i had posted it, thinking i was making [...]

there is a verse from revelations which has been running thru my head - it's the one where john has the vision of the messages given to the seven churches and is found in rev 3.1-3 and says, "i know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. wake up! strengthen what remains and is about to die, for i have not found your deeds complete in the sight of [...]
