Have you seen the latest Mac vs. PC ads? My favorites are "Pep Rally" and "Group." (My apologies to all my PC-using friends. But you have to admit these are pretty funny. Right?)
You can now purchase the audio book for Dug Down Deep from iTunes. It's unabridged (the only thing you don't get are the cartoons) and clocks in at nearly 7 hours with yours truly reading every word. Click here to...
Justin Dean is a pastor who gave a shout-out to Dug Down Deep. Justin is also an undefeated MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter and a highschool wrestling coach, hence the great title of his blog: God in a Headlock: Wrestling...
About Me
I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with an amazing wife and three wacky, fun kids. I'm a pastor at Covenant Life Church. I’m also a writer.
My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.
Check out the March edition of the Next Webzine. The month the topic is sanctification and features great collection of articles and excerpts by Donald Whitney, Mike Bullmore and CJ Mahaney among others. Read it.
Tim Challies asks whether he's ready to address his Google search history with God. "What would I say to him if he were to ask me about the things I have gone looking for online? Could I tell him with confidence that what I have sought is an indication of a heart that is aligned with his purposes? Or would I have to confess that my searches point to a heart that is drawn to what is evil and perverse?" Read the post.
I thought this TIME magazine article was interesting. Do you agree that McDonalds is on the upswing? Did you know they have a chef? Is reading this making you crave french fries?

Yeah that was my least favorite part about my last job... my computer. I think my headache count was much greater during my relationship with that PC.
If I was still using a PC I would be a regular reader of the "Trusting God with A Migraine" blog. :-) Do you think that's one of the migraine preventions they suggest on there, switching to a Mac?
I concur with "group," but I think I got the biggest laugh from "Yoga."
you got a mac? next laptop is going to be MAC (My Apple Computer) for me. man, apple makes you very self-centered - mac, ipod, itune, iphone - it's all about 'me' or 'i'. but still i'd love to get mac book for ME and then repent for my self-centeredness.
Indeed, some of them are funny.
But others are simply so dishonest and hypocritical that they are not only far from funny, but make the thought of supporting Apple Inc. quite distasteful. But what can one expect from Apple, being the hyper-controlling, monopolistic, condescending, arrogant corporation that it is :-)
Ironically enough, the actor who portrays the PC Guy actually owns a Mac in real life.
I love those ads! When a new one comes on I stop what I'm doing just to watch.
I love the Mac ads. I bought my Mac about 4 months ago and will (by God's grace) never go back.
Love their ads and love macs! I used pc's all my life and then we discovered macs through our small group leaders. We'll never go back to PC! Unless we become accountants and need lots of spreadsheets or something. :)
I Love The Yoga one myself..Hey where is a "Gong" where you need one"!!! I Love when The Yoga Instrutor get mad at Mac and then hits The Gong and Then The Gong Falls Over...I think we all need them in our personal relationships and say you are such a "Noise Gong" hmmm just thought of what 1 Corthinans 13 says that without Christ Love we are like a Noise Gong...Good Anology!!!
