Cool Hand Luke - Wonder Tour
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008You’ve already made too many mistakes
To ever amount to anything great
You’re not allowed to dream out loud
You’re far too young to even count
You’re much too poor without any doubt
And you haven’t done nearly enough
To deserve any grace or anyone’s love
God, speak truth.
To the lies we’ve believed instead of you
You’re in the wrong city for that line of work
And you’ll never make it unless you’re a jerk
Live for yourself and store up more wealth
We’ve traded in dreams and youthful ideals
For less noble things of paying the bills
And trying our best to look like the rest
While hiding our fears by the way we all dress
God, speak truth
To the paychecks we have trusted instead of you.
The Sleeping House
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008The new album from one of the best bands you’ve never heard of - to be released on Oct. 14.

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008This is Molly Eimer, one of the many outstanding persons from the Class of 2008 that I’ve had the privilege to teach, and better yet, know. They are the salt of the earth and dear to every person in my family.
Please particularly pray for Molly and her sister, Kaitlyn as they minister overseas during the next year.
To say that we are proud would be an understatement.
May God use you mightily to advance His kingdom in this world…
Why we should all be watching this week
Monday, August 25th, 2008As a student of history, I am reminded why all this matters a great deal.
Radiohead - House of Cards
Sunday, August 24th, 2008The most recent reason why Radiohead is consistently the most interesting band on the planet.
Here’s a fascinating look at the making of the video:
And here’s the actual video itself (with explanation):
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.
