    Being Opinionated in the Twittersphere

    Among all the self proclaimed social media luminaries online there is the unspoken truth… twitter is not one hive mind in consensus. There are differing opinions. Now, I wouldn’t condone dragging a managed brand into such debates but as an individual the gloves come off. Besides, that favorite follower you have might just be a right wing nut job IRL (in real life) or a wanton socialist. With me at least you know where you stand.

    Turning The Pocket Into The Pulpit

    Every time he overachieves and grabs victory from the jaws of defeat, I feel somehow vindicated. Each gridiron victory ensures that sports fans across the country will be faced with conversations about Tebow’s faith in Christ and how it plays into his success. Pop culture discussing faith is a very welcome departure from the norm which now includes toddlers dropping scripted f-bombs in primetime.

    A Tale of Two Cabbies – Two Brothers

    In the wee hours of Sunday morning I find myself walking past a prominent Chicago hotel in need of a cab ride home.  I happen across number #390_ and ask if he is available.  He asks where I am going and it doesn’t seem that he wants to give me a ride.  That is until a cop walks up and asks for his chauffer’s license.  Apparently I happened upon this taxi during a routine inspection by the CPD.

     

  • Merry Christmas Chicago!

    A very merry Christmas to you and yours from the greatest city in the world! It has been ages since I posted a self produced video. I present to you the Chicago Christkindlmarket, the windows at Macy’s and more holiday visions from Chicago.

    Asleep at the Switch

    I can do nothing but shake my head at these results. Someone in H.S. District 209 is asleep at the switch and not living up to their motto of “NIHIL NISI OPTIMUM, nothing but the best”. I can’t just point fingers at faculty alone because parents are just as much to blame. What do these results say about the emphasis on education and the future of our country? As long as our nation lags in education we will be ill equipped to participate in the global economy. One thing is certain, as a taxpayer looking at these results and knowing at least 19.3% of H.S. District 209 funding comes from state and federal sources outside the district, I want my tax money back.

    OccupyReality Part II: #OccupyFAITH > #OWS

    Taking in all that mentally murky dialogue being served up at the campsites has to be getting old by now. Drink from this realization, be awakened and your soul fulfilled. Your need is not to occupy Wall Street, but to “Occupy Faith”. No, I am not talking about camping outside churches blaming them for your problems. I’m saying that the key to future American prosperity lay in returning to the Christian values that brought God’s graces upon us and allowed this relatively young nation to become the world’s most powerful.
