Why I Love Religion
So this guy posted a spoken work piece on the topic of ‘hating religion but loving Jesus’ that has been fairly popular on the interwebs. Here is a link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY.
It is a symbol of everything that I find weak and shallow in American evangelical movement. In fact the amazing atheist points out its many shortcomings in his follow up video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBo7Z_abiLE&feature=related (a warning for his explicit language).
But the purpose of this post is to highlight another video response by a Catholic priest who offers up his own spoken word version of why religion, though broken as it is, has value for the followers of Christ. Plus how often do you get to hear a priest kindof sortof rap. Enjoy.

IF - Prepare

I am in the middle of preparing for my last two ARE tests and it feels like a squirrel jamming too many acorns into its tree in preparation for winter. |

Down the Middle Drop One More Grain of Sand
A year ago today we lost Greg to cancer. This anniversary has made me a bit more reflective today – almost how I imagine the new year affects many. I am looking back over the year and I see
our travels and adventures. From looking out a plane window onto Alaska to exploring a beautiful steel structure that is only roof now in East Dallas with Laura to having a debate with good friends at a rest stop on the high plains between Vegas and the Grand Canyon.
our struggles and accomplishments. From Structures to buying our house to see St. Thomas bud and flourish.
the joy of new life. From Eli to Claire to my nephew Hudson. May they stir our resolve and strength to fight for the good in this world.
the passing and mourning of life in both my Great Uncle Pat and Greg Hewlett. You both are being missed and you both are loved. Your legacies are continuing - your great generosity and love that you sowed into this world is bearing fruit.
God has been gracious to me.
