Book review of "How Long O Lord" by D. A. Carson

Every now and again I read a book that really hits home. D.A. Carson's book "How Long O Lord" was one of those books. After a year of ups and downs in the life of my family it did me well to hear about the suffering of the people of the Bible. At times all of us believe we are the only one suffering. Even more so, we fall victim to the belief that no one has ever suffered as much as are suffering or suffered. This book puts suffering in a biblical perspective. Suffering can always sanctify us, if we let it.

If you are thinking about reading this book, you should. Carson provides a clear, concise treatment of suffering and evil from a biblical standpoint. It is written on a pastoral level and deals with very real issues and circumstances.

Describe Yourself: Avid Athlete

I am a big guy (6'2" 265) and finding running shoes is hard. I took up barefoot running about 9 months ago after being tired of my feet hurting all the time from conventional running shoes. I love barefoot but my feet will probably never be able to run on terrain other than grass without shoes. I was considering 5 Fingers but didn't want to go that extreme. I really like NB and decided to try them.

These shoes are great! There is just a slight rise and they weigh next to nothing. The insole is glued in so you don't have to wear socks (if you wear them in wet weather/terrain). I run about 4-8 miles a week in mixed terrain. I love them.

Three things that aren't perfect on the MT100's. 1. The heel rise. NB, you are so close to making a shoe with extra heel padding, just do it already. 2. The smell. This shoe has a smell to it. Not sure what it is, but I suspect that it is the special cloth on the shoe. Doesn't smell terrible or strong, just kinda smells. 3. Durability. After about 3 or 4 runs a seem started to come loose. It hasn't gotten worse, so time will tell.

Probably the worst prank ever...

I am always one for a good prank. Pranks are fun and provide a good laugh, but this one really pushes the limit. Watch the people laughing in the audience. Why do you think we like stuff like this?

Avoiding Swine Flu

Swine flu is an overblown media frenzy a hot topic on the news right now. So, I figured I should write about it.

I once thought swine flu was a disease on pigs were able to catch. That kind of disease was fine with me b/c the more pigs die, the more bacon I get to eat. But then I heard worse news. Humans were getting the disease. But I was a little confused on how. I soon found out that most people caught the disease because pigs, who are known for their bad hygiene, were using public places, such as restrooms, library computers and weight benches, and not wiping them down properly.

After I watched the news I found out that Swine Flu wasn’t just making people sick, it had a much darker side to it. This infection was threatening to raise taxes, assassinate the president, post hateful comments on discussion boards all over the internet. I will not stand for this kind of behavior. I will avoid this epidemic at all costs.

And, b/c I am doing all that I can to avoid contracting swine flu I thought it would only be right to help you avoid it as well. So, here are some tips to keep you swine flu free.

Avoid pigs

Avoid pigs that are coughing and apologizing.

Don’t shake hands or high-five with pig farmers. Fist-bump instead.

Be suspicious of any pig using a public library keyboard and wiping his nose.

It is a fact you can’t get swine flu from consuming bacon. But, don’t eat bacon that a pig or person with swine flu has coughed or sneezed on.

Just in case the previous fact isn’t true… Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers on bacon strips before eating.

Avoid spiders that write words in their webs. Pigs are nearby.

Avoid contact with pigs with sinus congestion EVEN if he says, “Itz guzt allergiez.

Before you eat or drink after any pig, check his temperature and white-cell count.

Turn off the TV and resume your life.
