Social Media and Spirituality
The Theology Of Twitter View more presentations from Steve Knight. Online Slide shows are a little hard to follow sometimes, since you don’t get the presentor with the presentation. However, I was able to get the gist of the this. Pretty decent.
Pregraduation prep in the fall
I watched one of the the Youth Specialities podcasts and they mentioned that we should start working with our graduating seniors now so that when they graduate next year they can transition into a college world easier. Interesting thoughts on how to do it.
The Right’s War on Science…Not!
John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) posts articles on his blog about environmentalism’s extremes and provides a bit of commentary as well. The first article in the post that I have marked was interesting because I keep hearing about this war on science, but when it comes down to it, there isn’t. “For six and a half [...]
How do Democracies Perish?
I have been hearing this meme as of late, but thinking back, I can remember the same sort of theme in some of politics of the past. I’m not sure I completely buy into the whole thing, but it is an interesting read which looks like, at times, what is going on. I agree that [...]

However, as I thought about it, what is the main complaint in youth ministry, or from youth pastors? Parental/adult involvement in the ministry of the [...]
Tony Dungy, Michael Vick, and Grace
Someone directed me to the Facebook page to stop Michael Vick from getting into the NFL. I joined. Then another friend chastised me for it. I reconsidered. Deleted the post and un-joined. Then this article came out. Here’s what really got me about this article. Who knows if Vick will get on the straight and [...]
The American Democratic Debate Process
I often feel that the extreme right and extreme left pull us into this kind of discourse.
A Secular View of Teen Sex
I usually read this stuff through XXXChurch.com, but I ran into this through another blog site. This secular view of the trends is what we have been saying has been happening. This is a secular site so I’ll give a warning for some of the language in the article. HOW INTERNET PORN IS CHANGING TEEN [...]
