Peanut Shells and Bible College Lectureship Discussions
The other night I had the privilege at eating at Texas Steakhouse, which is like Logan’s Roadhouse, which both have something in common with Five Guys and a Burger, which is my favorite of the three. That information isn’t important. Neither is it important that among the few lifespan-decreasing fast food chain restaurants I actually enjoy is Five Guys and a Burger.

_Blue Like Jazz_: the Book, the Film, the Thoughts
“I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened…Jazz is like life because it doesn’t resolve. But what if we’re not alone? What if all these stars are notes on a page of music swirling in the blue like jazz?”

Part the only of my review of _Hobbit: Unexpected Journey_
“All the good stories deserve embellishment,” says Gandalf. In Jackson’s case, embellishment means lots of CGI and plot tangents not in the core source material, but a great story is still told.
