Are the Suburbs a danger to the faith?(click here)

Check it out...someone actually has the courage to call the dream of the perfect american family, the newest, "american idol". Are our children being raised to be narcissists? Are the Suburbs to blame? How do we fight this insidious evil of suburbanite anti-community? :-) Seriously, is this really a problem? Or is this an overreaction...

A very well written blog...take a look(click on the header to this entry) and let me know what you think...

reflection is good...dreaming is better...but living in the moment, well that's just plain hard to do... everyday i live, i learn my life is less meaningful in all the ways I thought it was, and find it means much more than i ever imagined in others... i want my life to be about loving who matters, learning what counts and listening to the space in between

: Name: Blackie's Tour; Location: Delaware, Ohio

Born in Delaware(the state), raised in Ohio. Encountered Jesus at just 5 years old. Graduated from Westerville North HS in '89. Graduated from Cedarville College in 1993 in Marketing. Traveled the country for 5 years as a worship leader and musician. Married - Lori Ann Gregory on December 31, 1996 (we met while I was at her church in Winchester, VA). Became a father to Elizabeth Ann on Dec 28, 1997; to Brianna Louise on March 28, 1999; and to Abigial Eileen on May 27, 2003. All of my grandparents are still living, including my 96 year old great-grandmother who lives independently in Turtle Creek, PA. Louise Carroll is an inspiration to me. Her son, Randy is one of my greatest heroes. I am blessed to know all of my grandparents well. I am the oldest grandson on both sides of my family. I have 13 younger cousins (i think!) At 34, I've lived long enough to know I don't know much, but I know that what i know is enough to live life fully and joyfully. I've ceased striving so hard and have finally found the blessed land of contentment...just in time...for most of my life's most difficult times lay ahead.
