Yoda was a Buddhist

I recently read The Gospel According to Star Wars. Being a Star Wars fan I was excited to read a book with such an interesting premise. The book just wasn’t what I was hoping it would be. To me the title does not seem to be all that serious. While I expected an interesting story I ended up with a “theological” study.
While it was a well written book, I could never get into it. I got stuck on my hopes for a story. If you are interested in a deeper look into the themes of good and evil, the many Christ characters, or how Yoda often presents Buddhist philosophy this is the book for you. If you are looking for a fun Start Wars story this isn’t quite it.

One Free Puppy With Each Purchase

I saw this headline on the news this morning.  Believe it or not, it was for a car repair shop in Wisconsin.  Somehow this does not seem like the best idea considering the rest of the news that was reported after this story.  All of the news was focused on the “economic downturn” or the struggles of the big three automakers.  A give away that asks consumers to spend more these days is not the smartest move.  I appreciate common sense. That is why this caught my attention right away. There does not seem to be too much common sense involved in this gimmick.
