Quick Thoughts....

Here are a bunch of one sentence thoughts:

1) My entire political philosophy can be summarized in this excellent article by Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Journal last week. Yes, I read all 1100 pages of Atlas Shrugged last year.

2) While its great that we have a new President who has made history and has obviously captured the hearts of a lot of people, I believe that the treatment of President George W. Bush by many in our country is reprehensible. President Bush will be vindicated, now its only a matter of time.

3) Rick Warren's prayer was awesome.

4) Next month I'm running the IMS Marathon next month, my first ever marathon. Anyone else?

5) I've been blogging a lot less and Facebooking a lot more.

6) In a few weeks Pastor Jack and I will be attending the Desiring God Pastor's Conference in Minneapolis. I was told to get a "winter coat" because its supposed to be something like -186 degrees. I'll try to find one on Craigslist.

7) Yesterday I hung out with a guy who had a ton of questions about marriage. Here's a few thoughts that I shared:
a) Marriage (including sex) gets better over time. Nobody believes this but its true.
b) Our culture often is afraid of marriage because its afraid of commitment
c) The best way to be a "one woman man" is just sheer discipline in everyday life. The enemy wants to destroy what God has made beautiful, and its our job to be aware of that and always be on our guard.

8) Finally, this Sunday is "Vision Sunday" at Compass and its going to be awesome!

See ya!
