Always good to reaffirm things that you already know!

You and Shawna remind me more and more of each other!

2009-11-04T10:42:59.122-08:00

Do you read the equation:
(Grace + Truth)/Time = Love

or

Grace + (Truth/Time) = Love

That's nuts Renton!

As for you Bingman... DON'T DO IT! I've said it once... I will say it again... You are the epitome of a true fan. You bleed blue and white and aren't blind to the teams mediocrity!

Usually I don't advise people to cheer for my most hated team.... but our relationship would suffer far too much if you gave up!

Selling your allegiance for $25 ain't nothing. Someone in the States did the same thing for the NFL. He didn't even say what team he cheered for before, but put it up for $100 on ebay and said he'd cheer for whatever the winning bidder asked for, including a bunch of stuff he'd do, like buy merch., take pictures of him watching the team's game, etc.

It sold for over $10,000. Not joking.

Unreal, so much for freedom of speech.On saw on another media source that the price tag to date, including security is 7 Billion dollars. They suggest it could be higher. Someone came up with the acronym IOC...International Organized Crime. There might be a wee bit of truth there.

2009-10-06T08:30:55.427-07:00

It seems all we want is a little certainty and clarity in life ... yet what is required is trust.

Thanks for your honesty, bro. There are many of us that can relate to this post.

Can keep our prayers in there for you as well. Realization is half the work dude.

Submission is in no way an easy thing to do. I know it's something I struggle with. But, God knows your heart, even though your thoughts and actions don't always mirror it.

Keep it up bud!

Much Love.

2009-09-26T13:02:32.793-07:00

Isn't that always it? There are these great people out there with so many great ideas to share and you just want to sit down with them, engage with them, interact, tease out more, etc... I think Donald Miller would make my list of people I would want to sit down for a long coffee with.

Doesn't matter if it follows Christ.
So long as it sells books.

Think of all the people who profit off of people's obsession with "the end times." Are they Theologically sound, of course not, but it sells.

Selling Jesus. Sigh.

But, I like to know my enemy, so maybe I'll read their writing!

Yup ... the 'Che' thing is probably the closest thing we have to a definition of "marketing irony" . Though, being a good Christian kid, you've probably already seen this...

As for the Scots ... big fan of Robert the Bruce, but strongly dislike the Enlightenment influences of David Hume and Adam Smith. One of my favourite present day philosophers is Alasdair McIntyre (but now I'm beginning to show off my nerdiness).

re: Walmart. Isn't that site so funny? No matter how pset you are, I guarantee it will always cheer you up. (Minus the woman with the kid with a plastic bag on her head...)

re: Che. No kidding. My sister went to Cuba and brought me a backpack with El Che's likeness plastered across it. The mere fact that the face of the Cuban Socialist Revolution was emblazoned upon a piece of merchandise and sold in the very land that had rebeled against that same Imperialism that the bag now represented was far too much for me to handle.

I gave it to the Salvation Army.

Problem Solved.

2009-08-26T18:53:27.211-07:00

Thanks Andy. I guess I tend to see my impatience and think that I am not much of an influence on people. Sarcasm and pretending not to care as much as I actually do are both weapons I tend to employ--how often have you heard me dimiss things out-of-hand as "crap" or "stupid"? I guess that's the Matty I see more often than not!

I do appreciate the fact that you take time for me and have steered me right more times than I'd like to admit! ;)

2009-08-26T12:32:44.992-07:00

Thanks for considering me one of your 'rope-throwers' Matty. It's an honour.

However, I want to affirm the fact that you have been and still are a rope-thrower for me. It's not just in the last while that you've gotten to the place of guiding others, but you have done so for decades. I believe it is your loyalty and dedication to friendship that has allowed you to be a 'redemptive influencer' on so many people's lives. You give time to people, and that is a gift that will never fade.

Thanks for being a great friend.

Amen dude. amen.

The world needs more Matty Binghams.
Really does.

Keep on self-reflecting and never stop refining that list.

You're special. And loved.

I really like your list here, bro. Randy

I do believe that Tim H, is now owned by the Americans. So you can add that in there also.
