//ITUNES: Nowhere Else from the album “Sticks and Stones” by The Seventy Sevens
Well, this pretty much settles it. From God’s Blog:
I give all of thee free will, but thou art tending to bland down the occasions which others were looking forward to. Keep it up and eventually every holiday will be just as bland as any other day.
As for Halloween? I don’t give a rip. You’re not losing points with Me by enjoying the night, dressed as a zombie or otherwise.
Besides, how else will you receive unto thee free and delicious treats?
I have spoken.
May the treats of a thousand saints find their way into the trick or treat bag of your mind.
Or something like that.

Steve sent me this crazy article from ABC News: Young Singers Spread Racist Hate:
“We’re proud of being white, we want to keep being white,” said Lynx. “We want our people to stay white … we don’t want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race.”
Read the article, for sure. It’s sad.
I, for one, love raising my little muddles.

//ITUNES: Through with you from the album “Songs About Jane” by Maroon 5
Mega-churches get the most crap for catering to consumer Christianity. I just read an article from Ed Young who pastors such a mega-church. He talks about how we need to transform people from the McChurch mentality to being true disciples of Christ. Here’s the article and here’s my favorite quote:
I began to realize early on in my ministry that the church must strive to be consistently inconsistent in order to be truly effective in the midst of a rapidly changing culture.
Bono=God?

//ITUNES: O Praise Him (All This For A King) from the album “Elevate” by Elevate
From No Rock&Roll Fun:
BONO NOW CLAIMS POWER OF LIFE, DEATH
Having grown tired of merely feeding the starving, Bono now seems to think that he’s got the power to save lives. Speaking from his Boncave, and without removing the sunglasses he used to disguise his true identity, Bonoman cursed that he was too late to save Michael Hutchence:“I felt I had let Michael down because I was lost in my own busy-ness and hadn’t called as much as I would have liked. I just wished I’d been around a bit more. He would confide in me and I in him. We were really good friends.”
Of course, this does actually throw up an interesting new possibility to explain Hutchence’s death – maybe he wasn’t just trying to get a stiffy; it’s not unlikely that having Bono confide in him was enough to grind anyone down and he just chose a simple way to avoid the “Hi? Mike… Bono here, I need to decide what sunglasses to wear to meet the President of somesuch” calls.
Tomorrow, Bonoman will retreat to his fortress of solitude to ask why he didn’t do more to stop the tsunami: “if only I’d not been wrapped up choosing sunglasses, I could have spun the world backwards or something…”
