Should you Twitter in Church?

Some posts out there in the blog world about Twittering in church: Should We Use Twitter During Church? John Piper’s take. An article from Christianity today. To me, this is pretty simple. Twittering is sometimes like talking, and sometimes like taking notes. You can tell if twittering is appropriate if it’s appropriate in any of [...]

My take on Jon and Kate

OK, this is a reality TV show. Which is to say it’s not real. And it’s also to say that you can’t really comment on them as people because of that. But in regard to the behavior on the show, I’m actually surprised that the whole thing lasted so long. I read a book (I [...]
