The following are some websites that feature the things I enjoy. There are not to many “spiritual” sites. I hope that I can add more of those later.

1. My favorite TV show is Monk. If you have never seen an episode of Monk, he is a private detective with a few “issues.” Think of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and the Rainman. http://www.usanetwork.com/series/monk/

2. Jed Walker is my partner at the School of Campus and Youth Ministry. He is an insightful and provocative writer. His articles always challenge me intellectually and spiritually. And often they make me laugh. http://www.jedwalker.com/

3. Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director. His favorite theme was the terror inflicted upon the unknowing and innocent victim – the wrong man. Hitchcock’s films blurred the moral distinction between the innocent and the guilty – a significant shift between the classic and the modern movie era. http://hitchcock.tv/

4. My favorite poet is Robert Zimmerman, known to most people as Bob Dylan. He may be the most important poet of the 20th century, certainly the most enjoyable to read (and listen to). This site lists all his poems in alphabetical order. http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/

5. I love going to the movies. This site compiles a hundred-plus reviews from all over the country and rates each movie accordingly. If over 60% of the reviews are positive, the movie gets a “Fresh” rating. If the movie goes under 60%, it gets a “Rotten Tomato.” http://www.rottentomatoes.com

6. This is my church. The leadership team of Mike Cantrell, Lance Phillips, and Brock Lillis is one of the best around. http://www.bethelclarksville.com

7. Steve Murrell always has something important to say concerning just about any topic under the sun. http://www.stevemurrell.com

8. I am a lifetime Cardinals fan. Most knowledgeable people agree that St. Louis has the best fans in baseball. When Larry Walker joined the team a few years ago, the fans gave him a standing ovation after his first at bat. He struck out. That is what you call good fans. http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com

9. I am a devout Anglophile. This is the website I frequent the most. http://www.picturesofengland.com/

10. My friend Clayton Bell has a cool website with an assortment of stuff. http://claytonbell.typepad.com/claytonbellonlinecom
