urban planning conundrums

Just reading an interesting discussion on FB about how a housing project in a Southern city should be bulldozed and replaced because someone was robbed nearby.

david foster wallace on the Internet

"[T]here are four trillion bits of information coming at you, 99 percent of them are shit, and it's too much work for you to do triage to decide.

Although the New Yorker from which this quote was pulled suggests that AOL, of all things, has pretensions to change that. I place more faith in Apple, Amazon, and Rupert Murdoch, for good or for ill....

a confession

I am ever prone to think that worship is a concert, that serving in ministry is volunteering for a club, that a sermon is a lecture, that prayer is thinking happy thoughts, that church is about myself. God save me from my need to be the one who chooses You, the one who determines when You are relevant, the one who decides how You can meet my needs. Return me to the freedom that comes only from utter dependence on You....
