Farewell, O Me of Little Faith
You said you had a big announcement coming today. What is it?
The announcement is this: Right now you are reading the final post on this blog. Ever.
Ever?
Ever.

My Introvert Interview
On Monday, author Adam McHugh delivered a guest post about the "snarling 8-headed monster" of the writing process. Today I return the favor -- sort of -- via an interview at his blog, Introverted Church. We talk about how my introverted personality has impacted my faith and doubt, and how the extrov

Harold Camping: "Invisible Judgment Day"
When the rapture didn't occur as predicted on May 21, 2011, Harold Camping had a few options. Here is how he could have responded to the failed prediction, in descending levels of crazy:
1. He could announce that he was wrong. This is the most reasonable option and was therefore unexpected. I wou

The Phases of Writing (Adam McHugh)
If you've ever felt out of place among all the exciting, expressive, emotional enthusiasm of a contemporary church service...or an evangelist's demands that you need to constantly be sharing your faith boldly to strangers...if it simply wipes you out to be surrounded by people all the time, then y

21 Things You Should Know About Harold Camping
Do you have Harold Camping fatigue yet? I'm pretty close. After a few articles and radio interviews about it (thanks, book I wrote six years ago!), I'm growing a bit weary of the subject. But I also realize that people are VERY interested in it. And I like people to be educated, so here's one last b

I hate to be one who disparages another person’s artwork, but these are pretty bad. Why does everyone look plastic and all the backgrounds look pastel?
I’m interested in what the photo session is like. Is the Jesus guy there? Or is he inserted later?

I think the Jesus guy is actually there. In real life. Then the backgrounds seem to have been added (poorly) in Photoshop.

If they’d do one with life-size Flying Spaghetti Monster, I’d be taking my kids in.

I think the little girl sitting on the ground is not buying this whole gig. There will be therapy to work this crap out someday…

This is better then the Olin Mills photos. Hilarious!

Wow. I really have nothing else to say.
(well, except that I’m kind of astonished that none of the guardian angel people are bashing you for this…)

That’s just too weird!

I really don’t see this as any different then taking a picture with Superman, Wonderwoman, Spiderman, the X-men, Micky Mouse or other comic book characters.

There seems to be some photo manipulation going on there too. His widow’s peak doesn’t seem entirely natural.
Ever see that kids show “Lazytown”, with the puppet-kids, and the real girl with a pink wig, and the villain who played by a person, but his head looks all rubbery and his chin is enormous?
It’s kinda like that. An unsettling mixture of real and unreal.
