Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: December 19, 2011 at 9:18 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and a head-cold. I confess that this ticks me off not because I will feel rotten for awhile, but because I need to have a productive day & feeling sick will threaten that. I confess that this is surely a sign of my issues regarding productivity and self-worth. The only upside I can see is that sometimes antihistamines can help me concentrate better – does... Read more

Stanley Hauerwas, David Bentley Hart, & Christopher Hitchens

Last updated on: December 16, 2011 at 1:08 pm By Tim Suttle

It’s been interesting to watch my Twitter and Facebook accounts light up with tributes after the news that renowned atheist Christopher Hitchens died of cancer. I once heard Miroslav Volf say that he thinks Christians should read the great atheists – by which he meant Nietzsche, Freud, Marx – not Christopher Hitchens. His argument was they help us to strip away what is not central to our faith, and force us to think more deeply about what we are saying... Read more

Dave Barnes Christmas Extravaganza

Last updated on: December 15, 2011 at 9:32 am By Tim Suttle

Watching YouTube videos of Dave Barnes’s Christmas Extravaganza is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. It’s stinking hilarious and very wrong in all the right ways. I’m not sure when the last one of these was made – here’s hoping Barnes decides to make a 2012 edition. Enjoy! Read more

Gift Ideas for Book Lovers

Last updated on: December 14, 2011 at 7:45 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

Approaching a Culture of Despair

Last updated on: December 13, 2011 at 1:12 pm By Tim Suttle

I had a phenomenal evening talking last night with a group of disciples from Redemption Church in Olathe, KS. We watched this video (below) of Stanley Hauerwas, and talked about despair and what it means to speak like a Christian in the midst of a world that has ceased to believe in God. I felt really fortunate to be a part of the conversation & have been thinking about it ever since. We had a very lively discussion around the... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: December 12, 2011 at 4:52 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I often have a difficult time getting myself to work on Mondays. I spend way too much time reading other people’s blogs and catching up on the news. I confess that navigating the papers online is not nearly as fun or productive as having the real things in my hand. I realize this makes me sound old or snobbish. I confess that I don’t care. I miss paper. I confess that I have been trying to get... Read more

18 Common Phrases to Avoid in Conversation

Last updated on: December 12, 2011 at 7:33 am By Tim Suttle

My wife reads REAL SIMPLE magazine. I’ll admit to never reading it. However, I do look through it from time to time because the graphic design is really well done – classic clean look. Anyway, here’s the first time on this blog that I’ve ever featured something from a magazine which targets women as the primary audience. It comes from REAL SIMPLE. This is good stuff. 18 Common Phrases to Avoid in Conversation I picked my favorites: “You look tired.”... Read more

Puppets Freak Me Out

Last updated on: December 11, 2011 at 5:38 am By Tim Suttle

The Suttle family took what will most certainly become a yearly trek down to Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral in downtown KC, to see the Paul Messner Puppets put on their nativity production. I’ll be honest – I was not excited. Time for a little bit of self-disclosure here. Puppets have always freaked me out a little bit. It’s not reasonable I know, but everything about them is just so exaggerated – with their oversized heads and overstated body movements... Read more

Hot or Not Hot Primary

Last updated on: December 10, 2011 at 7:11 am By Tim Suttle

I take politics seriously, but I’m not a partisan – I don’t feel at home in any major political party. Maybe that’s why my favorite part of election year is the political satire & humor. I’m going to feature a lot of this here over the next year or so. I promise that I’ll do my best to offend everyone I can on all sides of the political spectrum. First Up: The Atlantic Wire just conducted its own presidential primary... Read more
