Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it.

American Christians are Wusses

Increasingly, I think American Christians are weak and fearful. In Communist countries the persecution is as bad as it ever was.

Adding “work” to the iPad

Adding "work" to the iPad Originally uploaded by w.wabbit. Today, after discussion with Russ, I learned that the iPad can actually do work. So I began to experiment. Yeah, I know this doesn’t look like work – but it’s not my iPad either, it’s Nate’s. This is me learning that you can use the thing [...]
