My Because-I-Can Philosophy
By
Jason Boyett
Yesterday I was reading comments to my resolutions post and looking over the resolutions themselves, and was kinda surprised (which is weird, me being the author and everything) how many of them were fitness-related. I’ve always been pretty active, but I guess I’ve gotten on a bit of a fitness kick over the last 3…
Resolutions for 2009
By
Jason Boyett
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people into arbitrary categories and those who don’t. Wait, that’s not how I intended to start this. Let me try again. There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who make New Year’s resolutions and those who don’t. I am the…
Ovid, Tattoos, CrossFit, Snow Cave
By
Jason Boyett
I’m back. I’ve missed you, blog. I’ve missed you, too, blog readers. But as the great Roman poet Ovid once wrote, “What is without periods of rest will not endure.” Random fact related to Ovid #1: Ovid is generally ranked alongside Virgil and Horace as one of the canonical poets of Latin literature. Now you…
Merry Christmas!

Jason Boyett
After two days of family parties and meals hosted at our house, we’re still decompressing. I’ll most likely get back to regular blogging briefly next week but it will probably be 2009 before we return to a regular schedule. So…hope you had a great Christmas. Enjoy the weekend.
My Favorite Christmas Story
By
Jason Boyett
One of my former TrueU editors, the current ski bum Matthew H. John, reminded me last week about an article I wrote last Christmas for the now defunct webmag. It was called “My Favorite Christmas Story” and it’s about a parable that’s not usually associated with Christmas (but should be). Rather than send you there,…
Don’t Wait! Call Today!

My brother-in-law sent me the photo below. It’s a screen capture from the Billy Graham Christmas special (with Franklin Graham), which aired on local stations somewhere between Dec. 6 and Dec 14 this year. I didn’t watch the show — thanks, but I’ve been evangelized plenty in my lifetime — but it’s likely I would…
Kool Moe Dee: Facebook Status-Updating Genius
By
Jason Boyett
As an early Christmas gift for you, I am providing you a gift most of you will be able to use many times over the next year. As a Facebook user, I know how difficult it is to come up with creative and interesting status updates on a regular basis. Wouldn’t it be nice to…
A Conversation: The Doubt Book
By
Jason Boyett
I sorta like like formatting a blog post as a conversation between two Jasons, so I’m gonna do it again. Don’t you dare try to stop me. ————- Jason 1 (interviewer): So you said you had an announcement. What is it? Jason 2 (interviewee): Hang on, wait a second. What’s with the attitude? You just…
Question for the Day: Talking vs. Doing
By
Jason Boyett
I’ve been wondering this for a few days, so I’m going to drop it on the table. Watch out for the splatter. Please read and discuss. Question for the Day: What’s the relationship between talking about doing something and, you know, actually doing something? Anne Jackson is a writer and blogging and fellow church media…
A Rant: Child Abuse via Nomenclature
By
Jason Boyett
So it’s a typical day in Holland Township, a lovely community along the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border. It’s quiet, serene, and bustling with busy families preparing for Christmas. Then a young white supremacist couple walks into a Shop-Rite Supermarket in New Jersey. Like most white supremacist moms and dads might do in a similar situation (I’m…
