welcome!
I am Mike Noakes. (about me)My Bio... thus farMy Myspace My Wishlist Buy my books on Half.Com! (thoughts)"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."

Saturday, February 17, 2007Quote of the Week:"You know Mike, it would explain a lot if I was gay."
An unnamed friend and I were having a conversation where he was expressing his frustration over the fact that many perceive him as a homosexual due to the fact that he is good looking, listens to nice music, dresses sharp, and can do artistic what-nots. Also he can hug, kiss, cuddle, and sleep with a guy without having any sort of internal sexual conflict. :) posted by -mike- at 10:01 PM |
Come, pray with us. (friends)

Well, I wouldn't personally consider the first few criteria has defining for any particular group, but you have to admit that "he can hug, kiss, cuddle, and sleep with a guy without having any sort of internal sexual conflict" could cause people to wonder... :-)
Meh, our society places too much value and importance in that particular category anyway. Good to have people who can shake things up.
Yours,
Matt
Ahahahaha
