Why I unfollowed nearly everyone on Twitter

Posted on January 17, 2017 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

So while running the risk of alienating many or all of my followers, I have decided that I will do a mass unfollow and then only follow accounts that will be helpful for me to get news, information, and encouragement.

Disqus Update – Why I’m Back

Posted on January 13, 2012 Written by Mark McIntyre 2 Comments

I have been amazingly indecisive about which comment system I use on this blog. I have tried the native Wordpress system, Disqus, Intense Debate, Livefyre and one or two others. Currently, I am back with Disqus.

Disqus

After about 3 minutes of internet research on the subject, I decided to no longer use the Disqus comment system on this blog. I had no serious problems with Disqus. The service was free and it worked well. Yet, I found some reasons to turn off Disqus and I think they are strong enough to […]

A Real Sense of Community

Posted on September 8, 2011 Written by Mark McIntyre 2 Comments

Community

A few days ago I read a story about a man with 100,000 Twitter followers who took his own life. I know nothing about his history or the reasons behind the suicide. But I am struck by sadness that none of the 100,000 “friends” was close enough to prevent this tragedy. I often hear that […]

My problem is a belief problem. What I truly believe is indicated by my actions and when I observe my behavior, I must confess that my god is too small.

Foolish and slow of heart

Perhaps my reader cannot relate to this, but I often feel that I am foolish and slow of heart to believe. In fact, I know that I am. Like those travelers to Emmaus, I can feel that God’s plan has been derailed and I can often think that I am the villain that derailed it.

Church Building

Ungodly means to a godly end?
