some game

posted by adam on 11.16.2006

The Playstation 3 is being released tonight at midnight.
Earlier tonight I was at Wal-mart. While visiting with the clerk who was ringing my stuff up, she mentioned the long line of people at the back of the store.
“Long line?” I asked.

I emailed Shane Claiborne on Monday night to see if I could come and visit him up in Philidelphia at The Simply Way. I suggested flying up there for a weekend and just hanging out. You know, to see what it is that they do and see how it compares to what he writes about […]

the hard part

posted by adam on 11.01.2006

The easiest thing in the world is to accept Jesus. The hardest thing in the world is to follow him.
Why do so many think that the two are interchangeable?
It’s relatively easy to accept Jesus. Honestly, when a person comes to understand just a small part of who Jesus is and what he stands for it […]
