The Good Thief: Do You Have A Zombie Plan?

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2011/01/do-you-have-zombie-plan.html

Monday, January 17, 2011. Do You Have A Zombie Plan? And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:5-10). I hope you (like me) are really getting into the new AMC series The Walking Dead. There is something other-worldly, though, that happens in both Episode 1. This reminds me very much of a section of Paul Zahl's book Grace in Practice. If you believe ...

The Good Thief: Coal: The Power of the Good Father

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2012/04/coal-power-of-good-father.html

Thursday, April 19, 2012. Coal: The Power of the Good Father. In the (by now quite famous in our circles) series of talks. Given at The Cathedral of the Advent. By Professor Rod Rosenbladt on the subject of fatherhood, one of the first insights presented was that of Helmut Thielicke’s The Waiting Father. In this, his work on Jesus's parables, Thielicke artfully and tragically describes modern man’s belief that he is quite alone in a dark universe ambivalent to his existence:. Save yourself and us! But th...

The Good Thief: The Siren Call of Justice

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2010/12/siren-call-of-justice.html

Thursday, February 3, 2011. The Siren Call of Justice. One of my favorite guilty pleasures involves logging on to Rivals.com and checking the news and recruiting updates for University of Alabama football. I do this way more than I should, and I love every minute of it. The other day on the main "bulletin board", where fans of every team congregate to discuss the upcoming season, I noticed a non-sequitur topic called “Alcoholism… Disease or Choice? The yeast of the Pharisees", is not limited to theologic...

The Good Thief: A Subtle Horror

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-subtle-horror.html

Monday, April 22, 2013. Is a horror series. There… I said it. I didn't believe this until recently. My impression was that it was a dark and brooding drama about the desperate and horny realities of life. This was until I had a conversation with a woman who could not watch the show. “Not watch Mad Men. 8221; I thought… “How could you not watch Mad Men. 8221; “You don’t understand,” she said… “Watching Mad Men. To me is like watching horror movies to you.”. In Episode 3 ( Collaborators. Thesis 14 of Marti...

The Good Thief: The Brain Hemorrhage and the Nosebleed

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2010/12/brain-hemorrhage-and-nosebleed.html

Tuesday, February 15, 2011. The Brain Hemorrhage and the Nosebleed. My wife and I just had a little boy in November and it has been quite a joy to ponder all the mud puddles, puppy dogs, ball games, and baited fish hooks. It has also been an opportunity to re-acquaint myself (this time non-objectively) with the thought of Professor Rod Rosenbladt ( on fathers and sons. And the documentary and book Raising Cain. H/t to Aaron Zimmerman. Listen to what Jesus says in Mark 7:. Since it enters not his heart bu...

The Good Thief: The So-called "Nominal Christian"

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2010/12/so-called-nominal-christian.html

Tuesday, December 28, 2010. The So-called "Nominal Christian". Here is part of a post from The Rev. Dr. Leander Harding. A seminary professor of mine:. Here is a follow-up comment from a friend of mine:. Anyways, I love Leander.". December 29, 2010 at 3:49 PM. When I see survey research on any subject from tithing, sharing ones faith in Jesus, to porn viewing, I have to say that nominal Christians are the bulk. December 29, 2010 at 6:22 PM.

The Good Thief: Your Value: How Kafkaesque!

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2010/12/your-value-how-kafkaesque.html

Sunday, January 2, 2011. Your Value: How Kafkaesque! This sobering (and, frankly, nauseating) story tells the story of a normal working man who happens to wake up one morning as a dung beetle. He has been supporting his parents and sister but is obviously unable to go to work as long as he remains a beetle. At first, the family cares for him. Then, it's only his sister. Finally,. They give up on him and he dies of starvation. Am I a replaceable cog or am I a person? Ability to self-destruct throughout th...

The Good Thief: "You Will Be Like God..." The Richard Hell Story

http://dbrowder.blogspot.com/2011/09/you-will-be-like-god-richard-hell-story.html

Saturday, September 24, 2011. You Will Be Like God." The Richard Hell Story. There are many parts of that era that would interest a Mockingbird-oriented person and one of them is the career of a guy named Richard Hell. Hell was a fairly well-read fellow (and from an upper-middle class family as, ironically, many “punks” were). He was a forceful and uncompromising visionary who floated, unsatisfied, from Television to The Heartbreakers (no, not THOSE Heartbreakers. Ugh (Good tune, though) Blank Generation...
