Personal

I love looking around and randomly seeing signs of my awesome little boys. 🙂 I was just outside cleaning some stuff up and noticed a little measuring cup. For the entire winter it has been out on the other side of the house – neglected by little boys who don’t care about their stuff. And…

Sorry for the prolonged abscence. My brain has not ceased to function… quite the opposite. We are (I think) in the beginning stage of some major transitions here… more on that later… but, for now… some thoughts from the past couple days: God’s Power A friend of ours lives in Afghanistan. Working with folks there….

I just finished watching a movie. I don’t even know what it was called. But there was such an interesting part at the end… I had to blog about it. The movie was about a series of brutal, horrible serial killings of young women. They did a good job of setting up like 4 different…

So… I wrote a song today. It may have come from all my recent feeling of helplessness with all the craziness in the middle east. All those folks killing each other and vowing to not stop till the last one of the other guys is dead. All the hatred. It’s so so crazy. And it…

Just been thinking again about what the church really is. This past week I was reminded (while I was in a mostly empty church building) that it is not about any of the programming we do (sorry to you worship planners out there…) it is so much about being the church. The group of people…
