Here’s what we read this morning… can anyone make sense of this for me? Jesus seems to be saying, use money like the world does, so you’ll have a reward in eternity… but, you can’t serve God & money… still trying to figure out what he meant here… Luke 16:1-13Jesus said to his disciples: A…

New Tabs & Jesus
Hi folks. It’s going to be pretty busy work-wise around here this week. I’ll post to the blog when I get a chance, but I think I might mostly be doing some clean up and re-organizing. 🙂 You’ll notice the new tabs just above the main content of the pages… I thought I would take…
The Shack – Completed
I think I have mentioned a few times the book I was reading (and finished last night) The Shack? I know I did at least once. Well I finally finished it and though it came extremely highly recommended, it did not disappoint! I was impressed. 🙂 Usually such high praise as it received can only…
Interesting Coincidence
We found a neat little podcast from NASA called “Ask An Astronomer” that is definitely very cool for the kiddos. (Mom & Dad like it too!) They are little three minute answers to some big questions regarding things in the sky. Today we watched a couple: one about lunar eclipses, and one about solar eclipses….
Our Only Rule Book
Inspired by recent readings, hearings and various thinkings floating through GregsHead, I have thought again about our push for being right. For knowing the truth and letting others “have it”. I read a column this morning by a local radio talk show guy who was certainly convinced that he had the “right” answer for what…
Stewing
There’s some stuff stewing in Greg’s Head this week… perhaps a bit longer… about two different ways of approaching life. This common theme seems to be running through my head, a thread of thought that permeates many conversations, events, and other happenings. Basically it comes down to whether we attempt to control our surroundings (including…
Errands of Grace?
This morning I had to head out for a few quick errands, which turned out to be at least three opportunities to connect with people I know around town. None are “good friends”, but I do have a connecting point with all of them. I was heading up to the post office to grab a…
Duplication
Last night as I cleaned up after a little family birthday party for my mother-in-law, I was listening to a podcast. The regular hosts were having a chat with a guy from Australia who has been through a few crazy cycles with the institution of the church. I believe once he was “let go” from…
The Shack – Just Beginning
I read a few chapters of this book last night. It has come VERY highly recommended. I got a copy from the folks who are publishing it, for helping with their website. Actually, I have been worried it couldn’t possibly live up to all of the accolades it has received! But, so far… it has….
Trust In Action
I’m having a difficult time right now. I know something to be true, even able to put it into very clear words in a conversation with some friends. But I’m having trouble knowing what to do next. I know God will take care of my family. I know that I am not the provider for…
