Wendell Berry Talks Standard of Living, Limits, Scale, and Context

Last updated on: December 13, 2012 at 9:16 am By Tim Suttle

When I hear Wendell Berry speak I can’t help thinking that I’m watching a living example of what the Bible calls wisdom. I’m not going to comment here, I’m just going to listen. “What I am waiting for is for somebody to come along and say, ‘Look, we’ve got to use less.’ This thing that we’re calling our standard of living can’t be maintained, and so this means that we’ve all got to make a criticism of our lives and...

Why Do We Become So Easily Offended?

Last updated on: December 12, 2012 at 10:56 am By Tim Suttle

Do you find yourself feeling offended often? I encounter this reality every single day. Many people are so easily offended by me, by others (people, places, things, ideas). Lately I’ve been listening to some lectures by Richard Rohr, who consistently points out the ego, or what he calls the “small self” is always easily offended. Another way to say it is that the part of you that is easily offended is not the true you, it is your ego. I’ve... Read more

John Stewart & Stephen Colbert: A Behind the Scenes Look at the Daily Show’s Beginnings

Last updated on: December 11, 2012 at 10:50 am By Tim Suttle

An interesting interview took place between Stephen Colbert (interviewer), and John Stewart (interviewee), last Friday night at a fundraiser for the Montclair Film Festival. I think Colbert does these interviews in Montclair fairly regularly, but this was the first time he worked with Stewart on the project. The two basically sat telling stories about their work together over the past decade. This article gives the highlights of the interview, it’s worth a read if you are a fan. I had... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: December 10, 2012 at 7:44 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that my shoulders ache all the time. I confess that it seems to be worse in the winter than the summer. I tell myself it has something to do with how much I run but have no idea if running could cause shoulder pain, and I think I’m only telling myself that to avoid the reality that stuff just hurts when you are getting old. I confess that my friend Randy made it another week as a sober... Read more

Now I Have This Song Stuck in my Head (Thank you very much Jimmy Fallon)

Last updated on: December 9, 2012 at 11:07 am By Tim Suttle

This is one of the more creative videos I’ve seen this year. Jimmy Fallon takes it upon himself to help prove definitively 2) that Mariah Carey doesn’t need auto-tune (and if my voice sounded that good I’d never stop singing), and 2) that he has no rhythm. Holy cow. Anyway, watch and enjoy and maybe it will be stuck in your head, too. Read more

Gift Ideas for Book Lovers 2012 – Christmas Gifts for the Reader in Your Life

Last updated on: December 7, 2012 at 7:36 am By Tim Suttle

If you are buying a gift for a book lover this year I have some ideas. The obvious ideas – e-readers and such – I won’t bother with because you know all about them. But, there are also a lot of readers who have a very specialized set of needs when it comes to book gear. Often students, pastors, writers and folks have multiple books open at once and need their hands free to write or type at the same... Read more

The Fix’s List of Best Presidential Biographies

Last updated on: December 6, 2012 at 8:02 am By Tim Suttle

The Fix‘s Chris Natalie Jennings and Sean Sullivan made a call to readers to submit their favorite presidential biography. Then they compiled a list containing the best one or two biographies on all 43 U.S. presidents. How fun would it be to start with Washington and read one biography on each president through Obama? I think it would be such a more effective way to read presidential biographies instead of picking and choosing here and there (Although you’d have to suffer... Read more

Can Texas Secede from the Union? A Creative Way to Answer

Last updated on: December 5, 2012 at 10:46 am By Tim Suttle

If Texas split into 5 smaller states they would be named: North Texas, South Texas, East Texas, West Texas, and Austin. That is so true! This is a great 3 minute video explaining why Texas can’t secede from the union. I love how they play up the Texas / California rivalry; California’s hideous flag, Texas’s pathological need to be the biggest at everything. Funny and informative: who could as for anything more?

Everyone I Know is in Pain: This Means You…

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 8:19 am By Tim Suttle

One of the occupational hazards of ministry is the increased exposure to other people’s pain. Not that ministry is any more painful than any other profession, but like an x-ray tech is exposed to more radiation than normal, ministry exposes one to a lot of pain. If I’ve learned anything in the past 23 years of ministry, it is this: Everyone I know is in pain… this means you, and me, too. Pain comes to us in an infinite number of... Read more
