Jesus – Better Than Katniss Everdeen

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology

That title may or may not mean anything to you, but it means something to me because I just finished reading the first book of The Hunger Games. Yes, it’s young adult fiction. Yes, it has a love triangle. No, it’s not about vampires and werewolves. Just wanted to clear that up. The book was [...]

I think the Superbowl commercial thing may have just gone to a new level. Vokswagen, who last year had the phenomenal commercial with the kid using the force to start the car, has released a TEASER for their Superbowl commercial. It’s a trailer for a commercial. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. But seriously – [...]
