Wow.

I don't usually put videos here, but I found this guy through Su's blog.

At this point, I've probably wasted the past 45 minutes watching his junk on youtube, but you can also check it out @ www.verytasteful.com. His name (assumably) is Billy Reid, and he is both ridiculous and worth watching!



Enjoy wasting your time as well.

A new game (general announcement)...

If you haven't noticed, there's a new blog on my links list. I've started a new blog called Twilleynomics. Because the content there won't be as dense as what I usually post here, it will probably be updated more often. The site us basically about my quirky economic world. My hope is that it will be both helpful and entertaining. Check it out!

More to be seen from the SotM soon though - thanks for the comments thus far.

Kicked in the face like Danny LaRusso

I remember that Brian had quoted C.S. Lewis regarding the Sermon on the Mount a few years ago as the Collegiate pastor at Briarwood and I thought that it would be worth finding (googling) and posting here.

“As to ‘caring for’ the Sermon on the Mount, if ‘caring for’ here means ‘liking’ or enjoying, I suppose no one ‘cares for’ it. Who can like being knocked flat on his face by a sledge-hammer? I can hardly imagine a more deadly spiritual condition than that of the man who can read that passage with tranquil pleasure." - C.S. Lewis

From time to time, I find myself gravitating towards this very passage. It wasn't until recently that I was "knocked on my face," by it, however. It came at the end of the sermon when Jesus said, "Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who build his house on the rock." Maybe it's strange to you, but it hit me hard because even by a casual reading of these chapters I can see how poor my spirit is. Right now, I'm hitting the study deep, and I'll post some of what I'm learning here as Jesus keeps kicking me in the face like Danny Larusso taking out his opponents with a Crane Kick.
