blog?

How do you guys like the blog?

the music and utube deal is rather groovy.

What scares the heck out of me is sensory over-load.

And pop-culture that makes us feel FAT, LEFT OUT, NOT COOL, and a strange desire that in order to be ACCEPTED we must CHANGE ourselves – this change is usually accompanied by BUYING STUFF (consumerism).

So, the videos we run across on the right of the page will probably bring up all sorts of feelings that we may not even recognize -

but, what does happen when both guys and girls

1.see skinny models with a bunch of makeup on?

2.rock stars with crowds of people bowing before them – suck’n down the drugs?

3.nutty fans going bezirk over NFL games with little cheerleaders cooing on the sidelines?

What does all this have to do with Thomas Merton’s quote?

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

WHAT GOES ON IN THE CULTURE WE LIVE IN?  Lets dig deep!!!

Also – if you click on the link under the videos you can go search

1. New Orleans – find sweet documentaries on the horrible situation after Katrina.

2. what else can we find to add to the blog?
