Name Change?

By
So far I know at least two people have viewed this blog. I was thinking about a comment one of you made and wondering if the name of this blog should be changed. In the title "When have I seen you?" I was considering that to be the question God might ask of me (and of everyone) in light of Matthew 25:30-42. My concern is that others may think I am talking about myself as the person asking the question of others. So, what's your reaction to the title? Please comment. Maybe a better title is "When did we see you?" meaning, when did we see God in the face of the untouchables or the unloved. And how have we been recipients of grace while seeking to respond to the "others" in our world? I guess I could also add a "preamble" like the one found on the recovering Christians blog, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. If there are any random souls who see this, I'd love some input.
Grace and Peace,
Zach

So, did anyone out there see Kanye West rip on the President on live TV? What do you think? Is it a racial issue that help has been slow? Was Kanye anywhere near reality? Before you answer, be sure to look at this link too: http://www.wonkette.com/politics/ap/index.php

I Am Legend

I've been waiting for this movie to come out on video for some time now. I don't see movies as much as I used to, but this is one I've been waiting for. Fortunately I got to see it on a home theater system. This film is definitely enhanced by larger viewing real estate and surround sound. If you aren't familiar with it, a genetically engineered virus has mutated humanity into vampire/zombie types. Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is one of the last living humans, and he is working on the cure. It's based on the novel with the same title by Ricard Mathison . There are a few things of interest from the film theologically. Actually there are a ton. The relevance of human contact, concepts of God, the position of hope in human suffering, the expectation of sacrifice upon those who feel compelled to challenge the root causes of suffering, and the significance of community are just a few. Without spoiling the film, I'll just say a thing or two about God's

Angel in the Parking Lot

By
As I helped my dad into my stepmom's car to leave the hospital we made fists and I said, "You fight this thing." We punched knuckles, and I turned to walk inside to the ATM for parking money. As I turned my first tears came to me. I sniffled and held back the tide as I walked through the lobby, thinking how many times I'd seen others this way and what I must look like. I made it back out to the parking lot, whimpering under my breath. I almost wanted others to hear me, but I dared not make a scene. As I got to my car a cheapy, clunky charm from a toy cought my eye. It was an angel. For a moment I considered the child who may have lost it as I selfishly snatched it up for my own comfort. As I sat in my car blowing my nose and regaining composure I heard a horn beep but did not consider it. Suddenly a large African American woman appeared outside my window asking plaintively and forcefully, "Are you going to move that car?!" I wanted to roll down the
