I’m still alive

I know I haven’t posted anything in forever. I am still alive. I’ll even do a “year in riding” post at some point. This is just to let you know that I’m still here and I’ve moved the site from a VPS where I couldn’t update the OS and therefore couldn’t update PHP (and therefore couldn’t update WordPress) to Digital Ocean. This looks to be quite fast and not really anymore expensive than the old provider. More to come soon.

Jeremiah Wright and why the mainstream media doesn’t get it

I started a rant about this earlier, but never actually posted it. In the meantime, some better writers than I have posted some good articles, so that I don’t have to. This one points to several of the best, so I’ll just point you there. Also, check out this story from The Christian Century from last May about Trinity UCC. Also, I thought this note from Rev. John Thomas was great. My last thought on the subject for today, I read another story today that I can’t find a link to now (I’ll update when I find it again) that made a good point. During the 80s and 90s, white preachers from the “Religious Right” could get away with saying how screwed up our country was and be invited to the White House. The article clearly said it better, I hope I can find it again tomorrow.
