"struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil"

"the more I shred myself, the more I have a greater connection to God. And what I know now that I didn't know then is that's why I'm here."

...he was inspired to make the DVD mainly out of desperation. "I looked around for the cool Christian stuff," he says, "and was quickly pissed off, cause there wasn't any. I remember looking up and saying, 'God, what's the deal with that?' expecting some kind of valid answer. You know what He said? 'What are you gonna do about it, Steve?' I was like oh, okay, is that how this goes down? Alright, I get it dude, fine, cool."

Then the writer goes on to hopefully embarress Stephen for mildly boorish behavior that most music writers never write about with their "clients". Yes, there is definitely a dual-standard in La La Town and NYC when anyone veers off the path of hedonism, although this writer thought he was being fair. I suspect that this is the first time the writer wasn't presented free drinks or "lines" to snort, so was a bit miffed.

Hey, I just wanted to chime in that Stephan got Shannon Dougherty's former job as host of "Fear Factor". What's with that woman, anyway? People say men can't handle commitments...

Correction: the show I meant is "Scare Tactics". Do you think there might be too much imitation going on in TV land?
