Mindless Drivel

In an effort to keep this small corner of a small mind from being completely inactive here are some things occupying my time and thinking.

Books

Music

Blogs...
Ted Conference
The T.E.D. presenters are scary smart.

Reformissionary
Pastor from Ill. Steve has a lot of good thoughts and links.

Fox
This is where I get my House MD fix.

What is about about the particular books and music I listed that makes them outstanding to me?

Books
*The ESV Reformation Bible... I like the translation. I like the Reformed (aka Calvinistic) notes.

*Men's Health. I need to get more active. It inspires and interests.

*The Feasts of the Lord... This is a subject I don't know well. It is new and therefore interesting.

*10 Distinctions Millionaire/Middle Class... It addressed my thinking. I didn't get much financial info out of it but mindset info.

*Why Men Hate Going to Church... Great resource to start thinking church from a pro-guy angle.

Music
Casting Crowns...One of the few Christian bands that I think are deep and talented.

Blackstone Cherry...Old School Southern Rock out of KY.

5 things I would like to be if I were not a Pastor (they assume I would have the skills to do the job) ...
*Theoretical physicist.
*Astronaut.
*Some sort of extreme athlete.
*Explorer/Adventurer
*Navy Seal.

5 People I would like to have met/meet...
*Jesus... I know this is cliche. I know I will meet Him. But for now I would like to know His sense of humor, listen to Him about walking on water or the Resurrection.

*Ernest Shackleton...Polar explorer/leader extraordinaire. Read the story of the Endurance and you'll understand.

*Teddy Roosevelt...Maybe my favorite President.

*Jonathan Edwards...Brilliant theologian/pastor from the early 1700s.

*Hudson Taylor...Cutting edge Missionary to China in the 19th century.

I imagine that is more than enough for now.
