God is green. “…I’m as sure of that statement as I am that two plus two is four and the mixing of red and yellow makes orange.”
This is where Jonathan Merritt, faith and culture writer, starts in his new book Green Like God, which chronicles his journey away from “enviro-ambivalence”. Jonathan is a self-proclaimed convert [...]
Hey everyone,
In leiu of my normal post, I’ll direct you to a silent video-blog I made for Throw Mountains today. Feel free to check it out there and leave your comments at either spot.
Also, a few more things to check out if you’re interested:

Jack Cashill, author of 14 books and DVDs including Hoodwinked and Sucker Punch, has released a book that aims straight at America’s dependence on credit.

The first message I ever received from Renee Johnson said just this:
“How do I NOT know you?!?!”
When I checked out her bio, her website, her book, I got what she meant.
Renee is a spirited twenty-something.

A huge dark oak desk, buried under crumpled [...]
I am writing you from under water.
Well, at least that’s what it feels like.
On my left side anyways.
Another way of saying it: To all of you who’ve been lying awake at night wondering if adults can get ear infections?

Here’s how I found out.
Justus had a miserable five day streak last week. He [...]

A few more websites have weighed in on my book in one form or another: Check out Plywood People and the blogs of Chad Estes, Matthew Paul [...]
1. Skinny jeans
I have yet to meet a person they look great on (Except for you who are reading this, of course. They look fabulous on you.).
My motto: When you are already skinny (just call me beanpole), all jeans are skinny jeans.
2. Snuggies
They remind me of the Thneeds in Dr.Seuss’ book and book-inspired cartoon, The [...]
Really, go ahead, peep away.
At my book, that is. (All lurkers outside the house will be given a manic Jack Russell terrier named Wrigley.)

Please take a sneak peek.
This will be particularly snazzy [...]
