wifi does rock. and i find myself wireless, posting this blog with the musical accompaniment of los flaming lips. btw -- have been listening to some genius tunes by the raveonettes and the soviettes. may i highly recommend both.
and allow me to recommend the film bonhoeffer. a small indie documentary that's now out on dvd.
it's a fascinating look at this brilliant guy and the events surrounding his ministry of peace. the guy was totally convicted by the sermon on the mount.
thought this was worth sharing. in traditional german lutheranism, the sermon was deemed so unreachable that the church used the sermon to make its members aware of how sinful they are. in startling contrast, bonhoffer understood and taught that the purpose of the sermon was for believers to put its central teaching into practice and live it. he believed Jesus actually intended for us to live like the sermon. and he seemed to distill the definition of Christianity to this: putting into practice what Jesus taught in the sermon.
today, i am grateful for the clarity
