The fires in heaven...

I am thoroughly convinced that God will let everyone into heaven who, in his considered opinion, can stand it. But "standing it" may prove to be a more difficult matter than those who take their view from popular movies or popular preaching may think. The fires in heaven may be hotter than those in the other place.

...I often wonder how happy and useful some of the fearful, bitter, lust-ridden, hate-filled Christians I have seen involved in church or family or neighborhood or political battles would be if they were forced to live forever in the unrestrained fullness of the reality of God...

- Dallas Willard, from The Divine Conspiracy

digested lung

Have you ever taken a dump so big you felt like your body accidentally digested one of your lungs and then crapped it out?

I did...

...yesterday...

...it was awesome.

Tends to Fill Up My Soul

for Max and Lydia

Jesus Saves... The Party...

I don't know if I'm supposed to think this is sacrilegious because I'm a Christian, but I think it is hilarious.

MONKEYS, MONKEYS, MONKEYS!!!

I drafted this post back in 2008 when I was in India, but didn't post it until today.  For the record, the monkeys were awesome.  And they were fearless.  They would steal sodas and food and shiny things from tourists.


हे वहत'स उप?
This means "hey what's up?" in Hindi.
इ सव अ लौट ऑफ़ मोंकेयस टुडे!!!
This means "I saw a lot of monkeys today!!!"

Hyper-Minimalist Children's Posters

So, my buddy Christian Jackson is a ridiculously talented creative.  I use the word creative as a noun in his case.  Dance, music, art, graphic design... you name it and he is creative at it.  Here is one of my favorite hyper-minimalist children's posters that he created as part of series that has become very popular.  If you haven't already come across them, then check them all out here on his website:

Also, you should buy one of these as a poster here:
