Blessed are those stumble, trip, and fall in the same place again and again.

Blessed are those who on a regular basis have a dark day in which despair seems to be a step behind them wherever they go.

Blessed are you, for God is with you, God is on your side, God meets you in that place.

The gospel is the counter-intuitive, joyous, exuberant news that Jesus has brought the unending, limitless, stunning love of God to even us.

Do you have a “roommate” that likes to invade your life and eat all your cereal? What do you do to get rid of these annoying “roommates.”

Posterous or Tumblr?

posterous vs. tumblr

I’ve noticed several friends moving towards Posterous and/or Tumblr?

They both seem like another aggregate for lifestreaming. Like variations of Friendfeed, without the automatic importing.

What’s the difference? Which do you prefer? Why?

As a bonus for fans of WordPress and Tumblr, there’s what looks to be a great plugin for folks wanting to use their WordPress site more like they would Tumblr.
