I don’t know the motivation of what IE did below, but what turned out is an absolutely beautiful video/picture of celebrating a stranger. Wouldn’t it be awesome to be cheered for and celebrated by people who didn’t know you? It’s amazing to watch the smiles and looks on these people’s face as they try to figure out what is happening. I love it.

Well Said

There is no doubt that in revealing the fundamental fragility of the human condition, the disabled person becomes an expression of the tragedy of pain. In this world of ours that approves hedonism as is charmed by ephemeral and deceptive beauty, the difficulties of the disabled are often perceived as a shame or provocation are their problem as burdens to be removed or resolved as quickly as possible. Disabled people are instead icons of the crucified Son. They reveal the mysterious beauty of the One who emptied himself obedient unto death. Show they us over and above all appearances that they ultimate foundation of human existence is Jesus Christ. – John Paul II

Sex is not just pleasure

“Because sex is more than just a physical act of pleasure. It strips us, if just for a moment, of all of our social masks, and bares our physical desires (and some might argue, our souls) to the other person. While men may deny that happens, I can’t help but believe it does. Maybe not in everyone, but I think in more men than research shows.”

A reason I miss Mars Hill Grad school

Some of my fellow students put together this pretty incredible video about the uniqueness of how MHGS approaches ‘the other’. It’s one of the reasons I am fond and am grateful for MHGS.

This guy sings an original song to the tune of several John Williams theme songs (Indiana Jones, ET, Superman, Jaws, etc). Amazingly brilliant work by this guy. Enjoy.

Web Therapy - 3 minutes to brilliance

Samuel — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:21:35 +0000

Lisa Kudrow is Fiona Wallace, a ‘web therapist’. She figures that 47 or the 50 minute sessions are mainly talk about nothing important, so 3 minutes is all you need. This is some great satire.
