- Groundbreaking Agreement Between Verizon Wireless and Google to Leverage
- This is potentially a great move for both Verizon and Google, as literally everyone is angry with the awful network where the iPhone currently runs. I don't think Google has a huge time window in which AT&T will be the exclusive carrier for the iPhone, so they have to make this good.
- the Jesus Manifesto » Greed, America, and the Rich Young Ruler
- This reverberates through questions and arguments I've had inside myself with relation to wealth, especially recently. Convicting and powerful. "When wealthy people come to faith, they are to share everything with the poor, who receive it. But the poor and the wealthy don’t then go their separate ways, rather, they live as family. The goal of downward mobility isn’t mere charity, but solidarity."

- Joshua Case | Boff and the Trinity as Social Program
- "If the Trinity is a legitimate way of seeking to understand the nature of God, and the world is the realm in which the Church must make the nature of God known, then one must agree with Boff that the Trinity should be the Church’s social program." Here are some thoughts on what that means.
