To catch him with my jaw. That's classic.

that was my favorite parable.

Blake, I truly get what you are after here. But I would only suggest that a list of ethics can only be a pale reflection to the call to love. It's simpler too.

You'll be back. ;-P Peace friend.

I think you and I drank the same kool aid this morning.

I think violence ultimately comes down to the destruction of dignity. Any act that harms or destroys a persons dignity is thus violence. It can be very subtle. So I would say the opposite it not non-violence, which defines it in terms of what it is not, but instead love, which defines it in terms of what it is. Love to me is any act that validates, holds, or restores a person's dignity.

Chris, are you hearing anything or do you feel this is a period waiting and silence?

Brother, I think they can work together really well. The value of Missional Twibes for me is a repository for the "links" to the stories, not in the stories themselves. What makes Twitter valuable for me is people pushing ideas forward, and then offering the click throughs. Twibes is a glorified hashtag in some respects but it seems to aggregate well.

I'm innocent I tell you. Innocent. ;-P

It's sad to see a warrior dress down for the last time. And that may have just been it.

That's a beautiful and sad story all at the same time.

I had jury duty once. And just after the evidence was presented, the judge dismissed us to the hallway for about 30 mins. As I sat there a woman walked out of one of the rooms and sat down on the bench and cried. I remember wanting to do the same for her but I chickened out. I wonder how often this happens on a daily basis in courtrooms.
