Artificial Flavor

Buy another TV for a room I never sit in.
Buy another CD to tickle my ears and make me forget the world outside me.
Give me another doctrinal discussion to make me feel important.
Give me another lesson on how to be happy where I am.
Blast the stereo, maybe God will come back when I am ready.
Blast the headlines, scripture just seems so old.
Give me another movie to get lost in.
Give me another artificial flavor.

Mental Stimuli

Check'em out!

Authors@Google: Tim Keller

Apparently Google brings authors in to talk about their books from time to time. Tim Keller wrote The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. I have not read it yet, but after watching the video it is definitely on my long list of things to read.

Evangelical Politics: Three Generations [Speaking of Faith from American Public Media]
http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/evangelical_politics/

I used something Shane Claiborn said about Dietrich Boenhoffer during this discussion in earlier comments. The whole thing is really good. While the three speakers disagree on some core issues, it never gets too heated. Definitely a good listen (or watch depending on what format you pick.) I suggest the unedited version opposed to the polished radio edit :)
