Rob Bell – “Jesus Wants to Save Christians”

To be honest, I have tried to like Rob Bell’s work many times without much luck.  That’s probably a bad way to start a review.
I’m not a Bell-basher, but I’m not a fan either; I understand his appeal, but it doesn’t appeal to me; I have been to his church, I know some people there, [...]

Wrestling or Cursing? Some Thoughts on “The West Wing”

When it comes to television, I’m a bit of a Luddite – and I like it that way.  We have rabbit ears, that’s it – no cable, no satellite.  There are only two shows we keep current on: 24 and LOST.
The West Wing is a show we’ve been watching recently and we just finished season [...]
