Monday, September 29th, 2008Why isn’t everyone on Facebook?
Seriously? Why doesn’t everyone who can use a computer have a Facebook profile?
It’s got a simple interface, clean design, and a killer concept: ‘be friends with people’. For people who are extroverts, Facebook becomes yet another tool to feed the addiction: you can chat live, post tons of pictures of all [...]
Friday Fun Links
Friday, September 26th, 2008It’s been a crazy busy week, so I haven’t had much time to surf the web & bring you tons of the best stuff I’ve seen.
But maybe this week it’s about quality & not quantity.
I’ve seen a couple people on facebook do this, so I had to try it and it was way too much [...]
Exploring, “The Shack”- 8- Trusting a God who Allows Evil
Thursday, September 25th, 2008In this chapter Mack finally puts it to God. You’ve probably been waiting for this- when is he going to really lay it out on the table and ask the quesion he’s been thinking, not just asking, but expressing the anger and emotion that’s pent up inside. It’s something all of us would like to [...]
Would Jesus Digg It?- 5- Fireproof and Christian Movies
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008I probably shouldn’t post on something I haven’t seen yet, but with it coming out this Friday, I thought I’d take advantage of the moment. Fireproof is the latest offering by the makers of Facing the Giants, and also the latest in a trend I’ve noticed- high quality Christian media and movies.
Country First or Christian First?
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Judging by all the comments generated by the last post about vice presidential selections, politics is at the forefront of many of our brains. John McCain’s campaign slogan, “Country First,” caught my eye this week as he spoke up in Green Bay. I like this year’s candidates, but McCain’s slogan doesn’t resonate with me as [...]
Saturday Thoughts on Servant Leadership/Spiritual Retreat
Saturday, September 20th, 2008I wanted to include one last post on the Spiritual Retreat which also seemed to be a good topic for my Saturday Thoughts. It revolves around a question Pastor Otte posed to the group during our last session together, and I think it’s one that can help you frame your daily walk and the decisions [...]
Exploring, “The Shack”-7- God On the Dock, Jesus and Relationship
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Go ahead, take a big breath. That’s what this chapter is in the book. It’s a chance to take a breath. Going from gut twisting narrative, to mystery, to heady conversation with God, this chapter is a bit of a break. There’s plenty to say, but the pace slows down a bit.
One of the intriguing [...]
Spiritual Retreat- Personality Type and Spiritual Preferences
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Have you ever taken a test to determine your personality type? A lot of people have taken these tests, with one of the most common being the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (click this to link to the test). During the spiritual retreat and in Mulholland’s book, one of the pieces I found most interesting was his [...]
Would Jesus Digg It?- 4- Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Social Networks
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008What do you think? Would Jesus have a Facebook page? Would he twitter or blog? (since Twitter is a little newer, the basic premise is that it’s like microblogging, short little posts added throughout the day to answer the question, “what are you doing?” at the moment)
How digitally connected would Jesus be and how much of [...]
Spiritual Retreat- Being Conformed
Monday, September 15th, 2008This is the second in a series of posts coming out of Men’s Spiritual Retreat held last weekend.
Being conformed to the image of Christ is a process. It’s a journey (p.12). That’s the challenge of M. Robert Mulholland in his book, Invitation to a Journey. Part of this statement is especially hard for men. Being conformed [...]
