I took a bit of time this morning to sit on the back porch (actually, it’s a step) and read through a bit of Derrida/Caputo (Deconstruction in a Nutshell: A conversation with Jacques Derrida). I’m not finished with the book, but I will be through this evening. This morning, I was amazed, thrilled, and inspired by the following excerpt: Read More

A Quick Note Re: the Derrida/Caputo Nutshell
The Week’s Must Read Blog Posts 05082007
Anabaptism and the Emerging Church: “Anabaptist and the emerging church. Horse and carriage? Chicken and egg? Chalk and cheese? It has been suggested by some (Carson, McKnight, Williams) that the emerging church in USA gravitates towards and resembles the early Anabaptist movement.” Read More

Axl Rose: The Blues, Chinese Democracy, and IRS
Speaking of really great music (see my Blind Melon post below): I just received copies of studio leak versions of Axl Rose’s The Blues, Chinese Democracy, and IRS. These are three songs from the long-delayed and now mythical album “Chinese Democracy.” I’ll say this: there is nothing - nothing - out there right now that comes close to what Axl Rose is doing on this album. Too, I think Internet leaks have become really great marketing ploys, by smart bands.

You Can’t Go Home, but there is Always the Soundtrack
I jumped on a Greyhound and moved to Hollywood, California when I was nineteen years old. I had all the usual reasons shoved deep into my front pocket (i.e., Fortune, Fame, and Rock n’ Roll), and enough youthful unction to actually give it a go too. The year was 1992. My time spent there was enlightening, to say the least. I learned more than I ever could have in a college classroom. It was, however, a short-lived experience. A very familiar lookin’ Greyhound took me home in 1994. I wasn’t the same. You can’t go home again, it’s true. Home may or may not have changed, but you definitely do! No, you can’t literally go home again. I changed, and drastically so. Too, I began my full-time study of Christianity in 1996. Read More
On Joining Community: Unity, Duty and Fellowship
I just finished working on a doc for Inner Metro Green re: joining. The doc is titled “One Body Built upon Christian Unity, Christian Duty, and Christian Fellowship: On Joining Christian Community.” Basically, it is a call to take seriously three unique aspects of Christian community, before one actually joins the community. Said another way, one should know full well what he or she is getting into before he or she actually jumps into it! In our case, we are intentionally focusing on Unity, Duty and Fellowship. The following excerpt is directed toward fellowship. Read More
