open our eyes to things we've seen so much we don't see them any more.

give props

you can get everything you want.  the question is how much does it cost, how long can you hold onto it and what happens when its gone?

for our consideration

making a lot of money makes you a millionaire or a billionaire, not a genius or a wise man.  the advice of a wino may be more sound than that of the CEO.

If a wound has truly healed you will find laughter in its vicinity.

The Amazing Sprinkle Chair

(winner of 3rd place in Wonder.  The shadow of this chair is Hershey's chocolate syrup!  Every person who looked at this piece smiled. Pure art.)

sworn inn

Do you solemnly believe Christ is your life, your whole life and nothing but your life, so help you God?

If you take this oath each day before you get out of bed, you'll have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate your sincerity before your feet hit the floor.

little do I know

The faith tests we endure are not (usually) so explicit as this (Abraham asked to bind his son Isaac and sacrifice him), yet they come, and they come frequently.  God is always bringing a new thing into our lives to blow apart our reductionist view of who He is and who we are to be.

The New Use of Alt City

This blog is going to transition in the next week or so.  I am no longer going to be the only author who contributes to Alt City.  In fact this is going to be home to the stories of the Alternate City as told by the many people who are working on it and building it.  If you've been a regular reader of my blog I hope you'll stay and participate in the new conversations here.  Your thoughts affect our architecture.
