The Ballad of Reading Gaol
..And thus we rust Life’s iron chain
Degraded and alone:
And some men curse, and some men weep,
And some men make no moan:
But God’s eternal Laws and kind
And break the heart of stone.
And every human heart that breaks,
In prison-cell or yard,
Is as that broken box that gave
Its treasure to the Lord,
And filled the leper’s house
With the scent of costliest nard.
Ah! happy those whose hearts can break
And peace of pardon win!
How else may man make straight his plan
And cleanse his soul from Sin?
How else but through a broken heart
May Lord Christ enter in?
–Oscar Wilde

Seattle-Bound
I’m heading to Washington on Thursday night to be with my family for a couple days.Â? Things are starting to wind down with my grandfather.
Pray hard.
O’Reilly Declares War on Keith Olbermann
This video made me double over laughing. It might be that my body is still reeling from the Green Blogathon but it’s freakin’ hilarious!!!!!

Oh… I also posted the video I mentioned in this post.
Green Blogathon Finit
The Green Blogathon has come and gone. If you wanted to pledge me and didn’t get a chance, go here and follow the instructions.Â? I’m extending the deadline to Monday at 1200 MST since I know not all of you read your email on weekends and some don’t have Internet access at home.Â? If you want to see all I said and did, go here.
I want to say a BIG thank you to Shea, Jeff, Kevin, George, Liz, Ryan, Mike, and Michael.Â? I was really happy to meet y’all and to get to hang out with you for a very strange yet awesome 24 hours.Â? Thanks for including me in all of this.Â? 🙂
Ahem….
Since I can’t get a redirect to work, go here.
