his name is Mark. youngish guy, i'd say mid twenties and kinda looked a little bit like Mark Brendanawicz. but i don't think it was him. [i mean it could have been him cos Mark has been out of the show for a season or two although i don't think his name is actually 'Mark' in real life so he might have used that name. it's not, Uncle Google says it's 'Paul Schneider'] but he [...]

i came across this article titled, 'Loving Dzhokhar Tsarnaev' [one of the suspected terrorists involved in the recent Boston Marathon bombing] shortly after it happened and it really made some strong points in terms of our role as Christ following people in the wake of such a horrific disaster. the author, Adam Mabry, starts off by highlighting two opposing reactions which are equally unhelpful: 'The first is the xenophobic, racial, and even religious hatred of [...]
