You Give and Wife Walks
On September 25, 2010, my wife is participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks. This is a fundraiser for Autism Speaks, a group dedicated to increasing awareness, research, advocacy and family services for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.
Our good friends Michelle and Jim have a son named Hunter. Hunter is rad as all get out. Hunter also has autism. Sarah decided that she wanted to be a part of this walk for hunter, for the cause in general, and because it’s a great way to do some good in our community/world.
Her goal is to raise at least $150.00 dollars towards the cause (here is what the money goes towards).
So, you there on the couch, at your desk, in the bathroom(???), please think about contributing towards this cause and supporting my wife’s walk.
If you’re feeling like you want to be part of the support and giving, click here to go to her walk profile page and donate. Any and all donations are welcome.
This is a good thing people.

Depression is a silent thief of life. It steals the life of those it convinces to remain silent about needing help.
Depression does not mean your not strong enough or not good enough or just don’t have your shit together.
Depression does not mean that you are the only one who ever feels this way.
Depression is not something to keep quite about, hoping that it will pass so that you can feel normal. Read more 
Why I get mad at Christians
Dear God, I know it’s been a few years since you did the whole “I will smiteth thee” thing (unless Pat Robertson is right… well, we wont go there…), but do you think you could go all Old Testament on these jackass douche bags?

“Hey guys, I got an idea: how about instead of defending and fighting for the little girls caught up in sex trade and slavery in our area we go ahead and make sure they know they a criminals… you know to ’scare them straight’. Ya, that’ll solve the problems of 12 yr olds wanting to get into whoring. Gotta teach them it’s not a good career path.”
Ya, cause that’s WWJD and all…
I cannot even express how furious this makes me. I want to punch each and every one of these bastards in the throat. It makes me sick to think that people who clam to follow Jesus not only refuse to fight against sexual slavery and the abuse of young children but also want to criminalize them for the abuse they have suffered.
This is evil. This is how I know humanity is broken and wretched to the core.
Oh God that you would break the teeth of the wicked…
Father, Husband, Theological Dreamer, Web Designer, Photographer, Coffee Chugger... It's kind of like listening to a cross between guerrilla radio and a street corner prophet with a bad case of tourettes.
