Reading

I finished reading 'The Savage Nation' last week, and have moved on to 'The Enemy Within'. What is it about finishing a book that gives you a great sense of accomplishment? I don't have much to say about the text. I enjoyed the reading. I agreed with some of the points. I'm glad we have people like Michael Savage; and I don't mean simply because I agree with much of what he has to say. It's necessary that we have people who are adament about something. Most of us are just wishy-washy in regards to whatever we claim to be a truth. We never take a stand for anything. . .taking a stand means having to stand when you're the only one left. You set yourself up to be criticized when you hold fast to what you know is right. There's actually a website titled Michael Savage Sucks. Even though I agree with him, I don't admire Savage for his claims, but for his intellectual honesty to stick to his claims and not go half-hearted into the night. These kind of people, regardless of political stance, are hard to come by.

On another note, Adam and I went to an Aquire the Fire meeting for youth ministry types at prestonwood baptist on Monday night. I have some other thoughts to get down about the experience, but we got to talk with Josh McDowell for awhile, and homedog was sporting a Fubu jersey that said 'West Side' on the front. Dang that was funny. . . .
