Thanks Jason, good point, I changed the link. While I was there, I came across this geeky tribute to Narnia. Ah, geek humor.

I’ve read the comic, I follow XKCD fairly avidly, but I noticed the link is to the site’s front page. Might it be a good idea to edit it and point it towards that particular comic’s permalink?

alan s; that’s hilarious. yes, happy and inspired will have to do. rock on.

i was inspired by the way mennos are working together in mission in burkina faso last week. it’s really an approach that rebuffs imperialism and is indigenized as well as appreciating the gifts that global northern churches can bring to the table.

a) nice comic. preach it.

b) believe it or not, Mennonites are actually cutting edge every now and then. I stumbled upon this Christian Century article recently talking about MCUSA’s new health car plan; the Corinthian Plan. It’s not perfect, but it’s a concrete move by a large institution in a world that likes to argue and never get anything done.

(Now, I’m a humble Mennonite so I’m not supposed to feel proud so…….happy and inspired will just have to do)

I heard the NPR story while I was driving to work the other day, too, and I said aloud, “I wish I could pay for my teeth cleaning that way.”

$10/hour tax free is a far sight better than $10/hour before taxes, too.
