Too Much Media
It's disturbing to think how much of the world will follow this American example. American youth now consume 10 hours and 45 minutes of media each day (http://bit.ly/7O5QHo). If you have children, please don't let this be your household. Starter tip: Don't leave the TV on all day.

Staying Grounded
I just got back from a 24 hour personal retreat. Once or twice a year I get away to be alone with God. I'll spend the time reading scripture, playing the guitar, prayer walking, napping, journaling and listening. God always meets me in transforming ways. I encourage you to be sure that you are abiding in the Vine.

Prophetic Imagination -- Transforming Culture
I just got off the phone with Christine Gunn-Danforth. She has a PhD in Biblical Studies and another one in Communication Media. She has taken Brueggemann's idea of the "prophetic imagination" and applied it visual story telling in her book "Transforming Culture: A Model for Faith and Film in Hollywood." I just ordered it from Amazon.

Bonhoeffer
We watched "Bonhoeffer" the other night as a family. A man who loved Jesus. The pastor who tried to kill Hitler. So much for cheap grace. http://bit.ly/bp7gwA
