No Cash for You, Opinionated Missionary
By
Jason Boyett
There’s a fascinating and infuriating post at the Burnside Writers Blog about a husband-and-wife missionary team who are in the States trying to raise enough money to fund their next year of ministry in Bratislava, Slovakia, where they’ll work with Trans World Radio. Only Mike and Heather Colleto have had a major setback in their…
This…And Also That
By
Jason Boyett
Miscellaneous Linkage: 1. I have a new article up at TrueU.org. It highlights three major things I did this summer and what I learned from them. One of those things totally should have been “Do Not Swim Among Dead Fish” but I decided it was too dramatic and cut it from the final draft. 2.…
A Rant: Christian Parody Shirts
By
Jason Boyett
Yesterday I immersed myself in the bizarre world of Christian parody t-shirts. You know the game: 1) take a well-known, mainstream, corporate logo… 2) tweak it by somehow changing the words so it’s about Jesus…and 3) sell it to well-meaning Christians who want a cool shirt that looks like other cool shirts but is actually…
Osenga + Tomlin
By
Jason Boyett
This is why I love superstar singer/songwriter Andy Osenga‘s blog: [from the Sept. 8 entry:] So here’s a good story… Months and months ago I had a song-writing session with a guy. I really liked the guy, we had a good time, but I didn’t feel we really got anything. Well, he took the thing…
14 Reasons I Like Obama (Part 2)
By
Jason Boyett
Here’s Part 2 of my 14 reasons why I’m voting for Obama in November. You can scroll down to read Reasons 1-7. #8: Obama recognizes that the key to reducing abortions isn’t to repeal Roe v. Wade, but to work to increase education and contraception use and adoptions. I’m pro-life when it comes to abortion,…
14 Reasons I Like Obama (Part 1)
By
Jason Boyett
This will likely be a controversial post — at least among my closest friends and family, most of whom are Republicans and McCain supporters — but it’s time for me to come entirely out of the closet as a supporter of Barack Obama’s campaign for President. I am one of those young evangelicals who have…

Here’s a fun but discouraging site: PolitiFact.com, which analyzes the statements and speeches and ads run by the presidential candidates to figure out who’s stretching the truth the most. The current breakdown is as follows: ———— McCain Campaign Barely True Claims: 11Hardly True Claims: 8Outright Lies: 3Total fabrications so far? 22 ———— Obama Campaign Barely…

…not to dance in church services. In the spirit of Sonseed, here’s another dose of pure awesomeness. (A tip: Make sure you watch all the way to around the 1:55 mark. Because that’s when the serious poppin’ and lockin’ and breakin’ starts. Breakdancing hasn’t been this hot since Alfonso Ribeiro showed up on “Silver Spoons.”)…
Apocalypse Watch: Large Hadron Collider
By
Jason Boyett
We narrowly avoided the apocalypse this morning, but we’ll have plenty of additional opportunities to greet it in the months to come. Along the Swiss-French border, the world’s biggest particle collider — the Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile ring of underground supermagnets that accelerate protons superfast — got switched on today and ran a few…
One More Tri
By
Jason Boyett
I competed in another triathlon this weekend. It was not nearly as enjoyable as my first one. Primarily because it involved the following: 1. Dead fish. 2. Kicks to the face. 3. Vomiting while swimming. 4. Vomiting while biking. This is not a triathlon blog — it’s not a vomiting blog either (thank heavens) —…
