Oh, can’t you see what love has done?

The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there’s none

The rule has been disproved
The stone has been moved
The grain is now a groove
All debts are removed, ooh

Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
What it’s doing to me

Love makes strange enemies
Makes love when love may please
Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees

Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head

Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
What it’s doing to me

Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
Please don’t ever let me out of here

I’ve got no shame
oh no oh no

Oh can’t you see what love has done
Oh can’t you see
Oh can’t you see what love has done
What it’s doing to me

Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder but you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Oh can’t you see what love has done to every broken heart
Oh can’t you see what love has done for every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Oh can’t you see

State of the Christian blogsphere

A while back I took part in a survey for Christian bloggers and I just got a list of all the bloggers that participated. Get ready to start scrolling. More after the jump…

(and thanks to Thomasfor taking the time to code all this out.)

Templates for your Hipster PDA

Active Voice has some cool templates for your Hipster PDA.
What is a Hipster PDA you might ask?
Introduced in 2004 by Merlin Mann, a San Francisco-based writer and curator of the popular “lifehack” website 43 Folders, the Hipster PDA (HPDA) is the ultimate unplugged personal organizer. An HPDA consists of a stack of 3×5 cards and a binder clip. That’s it.

Christian voters

NPR continues to ask the question, “What role will Christian voters play in the 2008 elections?”

They’re being courted from all angles, by many different varieties of candidates. Michael Cromartie, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center — a Washington think tank that deals with issues of religion and politics — offers his views.

Listen to the report online.
In addition, Rachel Martin discusses the issue with folks at the National Convention of Religious Broadcasters and John Roos of the religious broadcast company the Inspiration Network talks with Madeleine Brand.
One of the most interesting quotes from Martin’s story is this:

And what about the candidates who didn’t come to Orlando? As Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council described it, “If they didn’t even bother to show up at the dance they certainly won’t be invited to show up for a cup of coffee when the party’s over.”

The media DID report it


I got an e-mail from a friend today about the Colt’s victory prayer after the Super Bowl. While I don’t think my friend meant any harm, there was a comment attached to the e-mail saying, “I DIDN’T SEE THIS ON THE NEWS – DID YOU??????”
A quick Google search shows that despite the e-mail’s comments, the event was reported in the media — USA Today to be exact.

After victory, Dungy and Colts pray before they party
MIAMI — Suddenly, in the middle of the celebration that had the locker room buzzing after the Indianapolis Colts’ Super Bowl XLI victory, Tony Dungy had an announcement.
They were not leaving Dolphin Stadium without one more piece of business.
A prayer.
Dungy had the TV cameras in the room shut off. The interviews with maybe a dozen reporters still lingering stopped. The pictures players were snapping of each other holding the Lombardi Trophy needed to wait.

It’s a cool story, worth sharing but just wanted to clear up the contridiction — someone found the picture through Getty Images (Bill Gates owned) or USA Today before they were able to mass e-mail it.

Free Solar Energy

Wired Magazine report on energy startup, The Citizenre Corporation:

Energy startup The Citizenre Corporation’s haikulike Google ad says it all. “Solar for free,” it headlines. “No initial investment needed. Just monthly payments for power.”
Instead of making you spring for $25,000 or more in gear, Citizenre says it will loan you a complete rooftop solar power system, install it for free and sell you back the power it generates at a fixed rate below what your utility charges. The company hopes to make back its investment with those monthly payments, augmented by federal tax credits and rebates.

The company is marketed similar to Amway or Mary Kay. Do you buy it?
