A friend e-mailed me trying to come up with a
good script idea. To spark his creativity, he asked me if anything
funny happened to me lately. Given that nothing funny had happened to
me, I chose to respond this way:

---------------------------------------

My mind has melted.

I can focus on nothing.

My mind has melted.

I feel that I can't keep up. I'm sick of task after task after task after task. I need a break!

Many of us are getting busy with summer sunbathing, outrageous outings, and stuff. We need easy ways to keep connected. Check out www.churchsigngenerator.com (a site given by someone from the DiscipleYoungAdult Yahoo group). Go ahead and have a little fun with it, then you can post any fun image you make in the Church Sign Generator image gallery. Let's get this rolling. If we get enough submissions by enough different people, maybe we can have a contest for the best sign. Yay for summer! Yay for fun.

This blog was inspired by agWOODS' blog "Conversing With Our Enemies" and its discussion. I was going to post this as a response, but felt that it opened a different enough can of worms to start a new thread. Anyway, the discussion was on the government, the Bush administration, and US foreign relations.

Take that title for what it's worth. I'm off base. I'm off my rocker. I'm off to Nicaragua. They all fit. I won't likely check the internet until April. When I return I expect to find so much rich conversation and faith-building here that I will have to spend the next month absorbing it all. God be with everyone.

Until I return,
Nick

As I was driving to work today I heard on the radio a discussion on Biblical literacy in the U.S. The show's guest, Stephen Prothero, discussed surveys which indicate that an unseemly number of Americans don't know some basic Biblical and religious facts. I forget the exact numbers, but something like half of the US could tell you that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, while 85% or so identify themselves as Christian.
