Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 25, 2009 by Kevin Holtsberry / 0 Comment

Here’s wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas! I hope you found the books you wanted under the tree and you have some time this holiday season to put a dent in the TBR pile.

*Yes, I just needed an excuse to use these social media ornament icons!

Christmas, icons, social media

I work in communications and public affairs. I try to squeeze in as much reading as I can while still spending time with my wife and two kids (and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Michigan Wolverines during football season). View all posts by Kevin Holtsberry →

Notes & Asides

I really enjoy The Pinkcast. But this one, on dealing with frustration, is particularly useful these days. Check it out.

OK, I am done futzing around with the theme/header/layout/etc. Not that anyone noticed, but back to your regularly scheduled programing...

Highly recommend the three Lord of the Rings episodes from the Great Books podcast. Start with The Fellowship of the Ring episode.

While the laws that we live under matter a great deal, Christians need to recover the primacy of the personal over the political more than anything else. If we can’t love our neighbors in a personal, politically agnostic, face-to-face way, they’ll turn to synthetic and unreal ideological communities to fill the gap left by the loneliness of their daily lives.

The road back to sanity, solidarity, and social trust on both sides of the political spectrum will involve turning away from this ideological cul-de-sac and back toward personal communities once more. If Christian churches won’t do this, they risk being exploited as political playthings of the powers that be. -- Christianity as Ideology: The Cautionary Tale of the Jericho March

You’ll notice we are not having a national debate about paying off poor people’s mortgages. We could do that just as easily if the self-declared champions of the poor had any interest in anything other than their own status and their own appetites.

They don’t.
