Hey all. I'll try not to waste your time if you keep reading this thing. Currently feasting on some books about the desert fathers, some cool cats from back in the day who had had enough with the blatant materialism and excess of the later Roman Empire, and retreated to the wasteland of Egypt to live simply. Me? The wastefulness of beauty in Alberta is aight for now . . . and living simply isn't too hard when your next paycheck is already designated a list of expenses. But life's good - don't get me wrong.
Since I don't know how not to think about big things, let's dive right into what's on my mind right now . . . .
1) I think Shane Claiborne and others are geniuses for advocating the "Third Way" of Jesus . . . it's more than black and white people . . .
2) I just ate a tuna sandwich, which was brilliant . . .
#) I just hit the "3" key with my finger on shift right there . . . . which brings me to
4) I have fat fingers
5) Obama is not Jesus and isn't going to save anyone
6) Nor should he
Why in the world are we so dependant on ONE man to fix our problems. And you best BELIEVE that there is a large segment of Canada who is giddy with delight that Obama is in the White House. For all intents and purposes, he'll be a wonderful president, and seems sincere enough to do some measure of good. But a messiah he is not.
For that matter . . . . is a free market capitalistic system worth saving?
