				<subtitle>Andy's blog aims to be like a Scrubs episode, mixed with a Chuck Klosterman column, centered around the topic of faith.  It is open, honest, raw, and a little embarrassing.  It is a place to discuss religion, politics, ministry, pop culture, and well, just life - especially focused on the time of life we call our 20s!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andy is the Executive Producer of The Allen Hunt Show; a progressive (in the literal sense), talk radio show based in Atlanta, GA aimed at bringing faith back into the public discussion. Andy enjoys travel, aviation, web design, politics, friends, and faith. He holds that the secret to a full life is loving God and loving people - which he fails at constantly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andy grew up in Fort Wayne, IN.  He now lives in Alpharetta, GA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More information about Andy can be found at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.2timothy42.org&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.2timothy42.org&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.virb.com/sectim42&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Andy's Virb&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S. As has been mentioned on air, Andy is horrible at grammar and spelling.  Please excuse any mistakes, trust me, he's sorry.</subtitle>

I often feel like the least forgiving place in this world is the place that should be the most.  As the saying goes, &quot;the church seems to shoot their wounded.&quot;

This saddens me how few people recognize how imperfect we all are, and how all sin is equal in the eyes of God.  When will we try to be as forgiving as God.

The other thing: on May 9, 2005 I filled up fuel in Glendora, CA for $2.539.  Just 10 days later on May 19, 2005 I filled up for $1.959 in Alpharetta, GA.  That's a 23% savings!

This past weekend I took a 45 hour trip to Denver.  It was a surprise trip for my mother's birthday.  She was psuedo-surprised about me, but she was really surprised about my brother.  It was really wonderful to be apart of.<br />

We went to the Rockies game. Had breakfasts at Grandma's.  Went to Red Rocks (sort of).  <br />
<br />
We debated politics.  We shared stories of jobs.  We laughed about the past, and some of the present.  <br />

It was a great 45 hours.<br />
