“The third most powerful sound is just over 10 years old, and yet it had such a profound effect on our volunteers that as soon as they hear it, they remove their headsets and check their bags for their vibrating cell phone. When we switch our phone into silent mode, we think it cannot be heard. But the vibration has its own sound, and almost immediately the test subjects stopped whatever they were doing to attend to their phones. It’s hardly surprising that the Blackberry has been dubbed a CrackBerry—even President Obama is hooked.”

“…the more I trust in Christ’s redemption to be sufficient, the less overtly religious I am. And, quite honestly, the more suspect overtly religious people become to me. When I’m with somebody who talks zealously about faith, about Jesus, about the Bible, after a while, I find myself wondering whether or not their faith is strong at all. For instance, if I were with somebody who kept talking about how much they loved their wife, going on loudly and profusely, intuitively I would wonder whether or not they were struggling in their marriage. I would wonder whether they were trying to convince me they loved their wife, or if they were just trying to convince themselves. Faith in Christ, for me, is similar. It’s intimate and private. I’m not comfortable giving loud prayers. I’m more comfortable giving quiet prayers, intimate prayers. Often alone, in fact. Of course there is a time for proclamations, but that’s the key, isn’t it? There’s a time. I love that the New Testament is mostly intimate letters written to small groups of people who met in homes. I like the quiet authenticity of our faith.”

So, a friend and I are going to San Francisco (my first time!) next weekend. It’s a super short trip, and we do have a couple obligations, but I’d love to know any tips on the must-sees and dos. (Aside from bugging these two to hang)

What should we do?

Joanna and I went up there for 2 days over Christmas and loved the city.

Ride the cable/street car, walk the bridge, go to a vegan/hippie/gluten-free/hipster cafe for brunch (the food is actually awesome) drink SF-roasted coffee, walk the winding Lombard Street!

Also, the Mission neighborhood is really cool with some great food.

Muir Woods is beautiful and awe-inspiring (and easy to get to).

Bring a jacket (it may be California but remember it is Northern California).

Wander the streets with the sole purpose of admiring the architecture, especially since you are coming from the city, you will be blown away by the beautiful apartment buildings EVERYWHERE.

Random bonus thoughts:

It is seriously a great city - and I am saying that after living in New York for 2 years. It just had a great feel; you could tell that the people who lived there have a pride/swagger about them, like they know their city is kickass and they want you to know it. The city is clean, but not too clean; it has some of that endearing grit and hardness that I love so much about New York (for example, we parked our car when we first got there right next to a pile of dirty needles). Being so well known for being the Mecca of Homosexuality also gave it an implicit sexiness that all great cities need. They have interesting/rich history mixed with new progressive culture that balances the city and provides a grounded feel.

“The problem isn’t that Christians aren’t doing their share to address the ills of poverty and injustice. The problem is that we too often see our efforts as supplementary to our Christianity. Care for the poor and suffering should be at the core of our Christian faith because it is at the core of God’s desire — written large across the pages of the Bible.”
