I was encouraged to read the news story that Ted Turner’s United Nations Foundation is joining efforts with the United Methodist Church and Lutheran World Relief to raise $200 million to fight malaria.

My wife Trina and I have been married nearly 20 years and of course each one has been a cakewalk…like every other marriage or relationship, right?It doesn’t matter if you’re an Atheist, Christian, Muslim or Oompa Lompa, if you can’t figure out how to forgive, you are destined to have a very miserable and lonely life.
Without allowing your self to forgive little things will become huge issues and ultimately that only hurts you.
Does it mean you let people walk all over you?
Not all…and we’ll talk about all of this tonight on Humble O Radio.

Getting back to the land, owning an acreage or a small farm, is a really cool fad these days. Everyone’s doing it, you know.
For one, it seems to mesh with a certain portion of the Christian homeschooling community, so well that conservative Christian businessfolk Paul and Gena Suarez expanded their online business to cater to Christian homesteaders. What began as The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and HomeschoolBlogger.com now includes HomesteadBlogger.com, which amounts to an online small town in both size and culture.
What’s the deal? Well, the rhetoric about good management of the earth comes from a couple of directions—one, it comes from within the churches. What amounts to campaign materials are handed out to churches and denominations. These even include sermon suggestions for incorporating concern for the earth. [1]
Two, like those campaign materials, the rhetoric comes from secular sources. Accusations link Christianity to male domination and exploitation of, like, everything—women, children, and dolphins. (I had no idea my church’s deacons had so much spare time on their hands.) Homesteading and ecological awareness is one response from the Christian community.
Most of all, though, there is realistic motivation for individuals as they pick up on the realities of our food distribution system. People aren’t satisfied with blueberries that have been sitting on the boat from Chile for a month. [2] Folks are absorbing a perennial flow of news items about environmental concerns, and an ever-expanding grassroots buzz about better living.
The sustainability movement has links to globalism, and also contains plenty of pagan philosophy. Are Christians aware of everything they’re adopting? And what about pagans? I’ve seen several pagans try to integrate into the HomesteadBlogger community, only to end up leaving or limiting their participation, for various reasons. Do Christians handle these interactions wisely?
Lemme know what you think. [3]

Tonight (Tuesday - July 31, 2007) at 7:30 PM EDT was another episode of Humble O Radio.
Humble O Radio is a net based LIVE INTERACTIVE Talk Show hosted by Christian Comedian Marty Daniels and Pastor Bob Lamb. The show is a fun, funny conversation about today’s events including Life, Culture and Faith and how each one of those areas impact the other.
I want to thanks to my special guest co-hosts over the last couple of weeks while Bob was sick, Brian and Shawn Chrisagis better known as “The Chrisagis Brothers” Over the last 20 years Brian and Shawn have rubbed elbows with Hollywood Superstars and some of the elite ministries in North America.
Tonight we’ll be talking about The Sin of Christian Celebrity and how it impacts and skews our view of who Christ is and what the faith is about.

The Show
You just found one of the fastest growing LIVE INTERACTIVE TALK AND MUSIC SHOWS on the Internet.
Humble O Radio is a conversation about Christianity and Culture and the Sub-Culture of Christianity and how it all mixes together. Each week we’ll have interesting guests talking about topics as varied as the latest book, movie and music release to Theology. At some point we may talk about the theology of various books, music and movies, who knows?!?
One thing for sure, the show will be fun. Hopefully challenging and informative. No bashing those outside or inside the church just an opportunity to wonder out loud, ask about, discuss and challenge the mindset of both.
Humble O Radio gets its name from the saying “My Humble Opinion” or online “MHO” but it perfectly describes what this site is really all about. We want to hear your opinion and in kind provide ours too. It seems to have escaped our culture but it is called an exchange of ideas.
