Thursday April 20, 2006

Theology: Brandon Porter struggles with the practical application of a few verses from 1 Corinthians 12. “This is a very real issue that we need to get right. Paul has people in mind here, not just parts of a body that make up a nice analogy.”

Humor: Yahoo has a neat little story about a man who decided to see just how far he could get by “trading up.” He began with a paper clip and is hoping to eventually trade up to a house.
