Did Jesus think the earth was flat?

Due to a full afternoon and evening, I didn’t get to watch even a minute of the game until after 9:30PM tonight. (Thanks to my DVR)

For the next 2-hours, I sat and actually thought the Colts were going to win the game – even though I was hinted with a “sorry about the game” by one of my Life Coaches tonight before SNL. I thought he was just trying to get my riled up – turns out he wasn’t.

Good effort, Colts. I’m sure we’ll see those evil Pats again…

Dear Mr. Pullman,

My name is Stevan Sheets. I’m a member of clergy and more importantly, a follower of Christ.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for having to delete the same e-mail that comes into my E-mail inbox at least 3-times a day. The e-mail I’m referring to includes a “boycot” of sorts from reading your books as well as watching a new movie coming out based on one of your books, entitled, “Golden Compass”.

I’m sorry that there are a boat-load of Christians dismissing an entire genre of literature based on someone else’s opinion without doing their own homework to confirm some of the claims outlined in the E-mail.

I wish most Christians weren’t so quick to judge and/or so very harsh in their willingness to criticize things that they know little-to-nothing about.

I can imagine that you’re possibly not even aware of these 3-a-day e-mails I’m receiving, but I wanted to apologize regardless. I’m interested in the movie – may even go see it, too! I will, however, take time to discuss the themes of the film afterwards and look for ways to have conversations about it – something I wish more people were willing to do.

Thanks for listening!

Sincerely,

Stevan Paul Sheets
