I am unplugging. It’s more than just “blogging ain’t what it used to be.” Compu-tech-apple-net had taken control of my life. So a major overhaul of life is in order. I’m unplugging to help increase needed change… more bike riding, more reading, more praying, more time with my family and more time to prepare for even bigger changes that are right around the corner. Thanks for sticking with me. Cheers, Chris Read More →

Most of you won’t bother to even listen to these clips. Most of those that do will exclaim, “LAME!” But for the few of you who are true junkies…. I present three clips from the new studio recordings.

I’m looking for some feedback. I just finished N.T. Wright’s latest book “Surprised by Hope.” I’ll be giving a fuller treatment on important sections of the book as well as a review of the entire work. I was struck by a a paragraph in chapter 14. It is discussable, I believe, without knowing the larger context of the chapter or book. This also ties in nicely with a broader discussion that is going on at Alan Mezger’s blog and a book study I’m involved in where we’re studying... [Read the full story]

Our podcast is up! Overdrawn at the Memory Bank received her first episode yesterday, outrageously titled, “Pilot.” Yep, that’s what it is. We give introductions and talk a bit about the iPhone 2.0 and the problem with bluetooth headsets. I know we’ve had at least 4 hits! We plan on airing a new episode every other Friday. Episode 2 will feature Josh Bleeker, world-renowned blogger, hiker, theologian and a dear friend of mine. It should be interesting. So, check it out, give us a listen and give us...
