Why I'm not a Committed Christian Anymore

"The key word in American Christianity is commitment. Rather than being a positive thing, he saw it as an inadequate replacement of an older Christian teaching: surrender." - http://www.navpress.com/dj/content.aspx?id=4422

Life on the B list

I took the Liberty University "Graduate Writing Assessment" today and earned 430 out of 500 points. Irregardless [sic], I press on as an individual who is now on the B list.

A few days ago my nine-year-old son asked, "Dad, when you think, do you think in words or do you just see things?" I answered, "In words." I think I've always had an inner dialog with myself (though never referring to myself in the third person) as well as a killer soundtrack always playing my favorite songs. [Although I can't figure out how 'Oh Mickey you're so fine' keeps making the playlist.] He said it was the same for him.

Then my wife answered, saying she sees things. She always has to be different.
