It would be better if it also took in status updates from other social media platforms (facebook, linkedin, yammer, etc.) into this one platform. I will be interested to see where the Buzz takes us.

]]> Comment on What Was Pat Robertson Thinking? by frank http://frankchiapperino.com/2010/01/13/what-was-pat-robertson-thinking/comment-page-1/#comment-1943 frank Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:16:44 +0000 http://frankchiapperino.com/?p=1109#comment-1943 David, sorry for the confusion, I meant to post a response but ended up distracted. I posted the video of Pat because the information was straight from his own mouth on national television. I removed the link you placed on Ed Young because it was a one sided attack on Ed Young and Fellowship church. If it was a link to an interview or footage of Ed Young talking about the issues mentioned (in an un-biased manner) I would have been happy to spread the message and share with others who read my blog. However, after some further research and a response from Ed Young I'm happy to repost your link and a link to Ed's response: David's link - http://www.wfaa.com/news/investigates/Prominent-Pastor-Linked-to-Luxury-83600192.html Ed's response - http://www.edyoungblog.com/2010/02/moving-on.html David, sorry for the confusion, I meant to post a response but ended up distracted.

You deleted the link but didn't respond? You were quick to quip regarding Pat Robertson yet offer no comment on Ed Young? I’m confused. You deleted the link but didn’t respond?

Be assured that the debate I reference is in full force and if you read the hope page of the new atheist charity it is more about besmirching theism than about charity: http://atheismisdead.blogspot.com/2010/01/haiti-and-hypocrisy-of-christian.html I like it too.

I'm not sure how much athiests are trying to police charity. I haven't seen any of the debate that you are bringing up. All I know is that I really like what FCBY is doing and I really believe in their approach to reaching people world wide with a message of hope. Mariano, thanks for the comment.

FCBY is teamed up with another org and are supplying food for the body and soul.

As I said on my FB post about this, "I think this is one way we can get back to the New Testament ideal of 'every day they met together ...

]]> Comment on Are You Afraid To Let Go? by Davide Sinclair http://frankchiapperino.com/2009/11/02/are-you-afraid-to-let-go/comment-page-1/#comment-1298 Davide Sinclair Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:31:45 +0000 http://frankchiapperino.com/?p=1014#comment-1298 I like the story, about cutting the string. In reflection, according the scripture we deserve Hell. We consciously lead our lives based upon selfish ambition. We have no power in changing the direction of our destination except through the Grace and Mercy of God, crushing His Son on the cross. Yet that awareness, and even acceptance is a difficult pill to swallow. The sheer magnitude of His gift of a return home ticket requires obedience. The last words Jesus ever communicated were repent. For this person, it is a daily activity in acknowledging my personal tethered string, and cutting loose. I like the story, about cutting the string.
