WALT'S BLOG
_________________________________________
Posted by Walt Mueller on 1/8/2015
 For me, there's little that's more refreshing and stimulating than spending time with people who share many of my same commitments and passions, digging around together in pursuit of those shared commitments and passions. . . kind of like what happens when long-time faithful fans of the same team get together to watch and dissect a championship game...

YOUTH CULTURE HOT QUOTE

"One of the most exciting features of college life is the opportunity it affords to read great books, think great thoughts, and join in the great conversation of human civilization. Intellectual growth is not inconsistent with Christian faith!"

Youth Workers: Download this Trend Alert and pass it along to parents at church this weekend!
Never before has pornography been as accessible as it is today. I was reminded of this fact last week as Paper magazine tried to "break the Internet" with images of Kim Kardashian showing her backside on the front cover and going fully nude on the inside. Many have celebrated and praised the magazine and Mrs. Kardashian for these "tasteful" images. But we have to ask the question: How is this any different than Playboy which, as of this writing, is still considered pornography?...
