This is a video of the gospel presentation from the book True Story by James Choung

This PDF explains it a little more.. Choung argues that we need a new gospel presentation to move from viewing the Christian faith as:

  • Decision   -> Transformation
  • Individual -> Communal
  • After-life  -> Mission-life

“ Your sure and only way under all temptations, fears, conflicts, doubts, and disputes, is by faith to remember Christ, and the sufferings of Christ, as your mediator and surety, and say, ‘O Christ! you are my sin—in being made sin for me; and you are my curse—in being made a curse for me. Or rather, I am your sin—and you are my righteousness; I am your curse—and you are my blessing; I am your death—and you are my life; I am the wrath of God to you—and you are the love of God to me; I am your hell—and you are my heaven.’ ” -

Everything I wanted to say about being vegetarian..

Thank goodness someone else wrote it down first!

It’s only been a few weeks for me, so I definitely feel the WEIRDNESS of it much more keenly. I would never have expressed it so well.

(although I guess I’m technically not “vegetarian” since I still eat swimming “things with eyes”)

Scary article about injury rates for women athletes

The physical differences between men and women were always obvious in the QUALITY of play in sports, but I was surprised (and disturbed) at how it affects injuries.

If girls and young women ruptured their A.C.L.’s at just twice the rate of boys and young men, it would be notable. Three times the rate would be astounding. But some researchers believe that in sports that both sexes play, and with similar rules — soccer, basketball, volleyball — female athletes rupture their A.C.L.’s at rates as high as five times that of males.
