You might think I’m getting a little carried away with this blogging thing…and you might be right. Or maybe I’m just getting carried away period. You may be right. But I started a new blog last Wednesday that documents my journey this Lenten season. I’m not putting those updates on this blog because……….I didn’t think [...]
I read a post today from Tim Stevens at LeadingSmart. Great questions for any church to ask. Or any family. Or any individual. How do we measure success? What Do You Measure? – LeadingSmart.
I received a couple of comments on the blog about a water-only Lent…one from the Director of Blood:Water Mission! I will be taking the challenge and am ready to talk to people about my experience and why I’m doing this. My primary goal is to remember that there are those around the world who don’t [...]
As of Sunday, we have finished with the sermon series, “Through the Valley to Joy.” Not that we’re through walking through valleys! While some can be walked fairly quickly, others take years to work our way through. I’m so thankful to hear from many of you that the series was helpful for you. I still [...]
“During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which [...]
I heard the story of Ben Larson this morning as I pulled in to the parking lot. Needless to say, I stayed in my van and listened to the end. The fuller, print version with pictures and more audio can be found at. Click on the links (red text on the blog) to hear or [...]
A friend reminded me that there are other tragedies in the world besides Haiti. The Congo is one. In this New York Times article, Nicholas Kristof talks about one woman, Lisa, who is making a difference. In the video you find on that page, they have this conversation: Nicholas: So, Lisa, I have to ask [...]
You can tell a lot about a person by the sorts of games they play. What might these tell you about me? I’ve always liked Brick Breaking kinds of games. This is one of my favorites (so much so that I have to uninstall it every once in a while!). Online Physics Games Online Physics [...]
I ran across a video today on LeadingSmart.com about Valleys – specifically, the valleys that early Christians walked through. There is a real value to studying history. In part, it helps keep our own lives in perspective. The Early Church from Granger Community on Vimeo. By the way, did you know that on Sunday at [...]
It’s always nice to hear about your Alma Mater and your denomination’s official college in a positive light. What better friends could a country have? Or the other people on the flight, for that matter? What’s particularly interesting to me, however, is the comments about the terrorist himself. “He had extremist views and he wanted [...]
I just finished listening to the first two chapters of Crazy Love by Francis Chan while running on a treadmill. (Quick question: at what point does jogging become running? I think I’m still jogging, but running sounds a lot better.) But could you get any more fully alive! Heart pumping at 165 beats per minute [...]
I’ve started following a very intriguing blog. Thought-provoking. Question-asking. Today’s post was written by someone I’ve never heard of before, but might try to get to know better. Check it out! Also, I’m going to start putting interesting artistic stuff on the Bethel Art Camp Facebook page. Some of it is quite powerful and gives [...]
I ran across an interesting question today: “What Would a Techno-Savvy Church Startup Look Like? Perhaps It’s Got Some Soul…” You can find the article here. We obviously live in a very different world than our parents did. Sometimes, we wonder if we are using the available technology to its fullest to help us in [...]
We all need more time. Some of us are looking for more time to get all of our work done; others are looking for time to relax from their labors. Somes are looking for more time with significant people in their lives; others are looking for more alone time. And most of us would say [...]
At what point do you become a part of the Body of Christ – when you are baptized or when you make a public profession of your faith? Do we receive God’s grace when we understand how God forgives sin or when we trust that He has forgiven our sin? Who can truly understand how [...]
