Monday, September 15th, 2008It sure is amazing to see the footage of the devastation caused by recent hurricanes especially down on the Gulf Coast, but also up in the Midwest where the hurricane rained down Gulf waters on Chicago’s city streets (and most of it is still there!).
Personally, I’ve never lived in a place that was threatened by [...]
Saturday Thoughts on Faith and Sight
Saturday, September 13th, 2008A quick post this morning as I’m on my way to the Men’s Spiritual Retreat. It spurred my thinking last night and I’ll be throwing in some bonus posts this week related to the various topics we’ve been hitting- things like pesonality type and how that affects our spirituality, what it is to walk together [...]
Friday Shocking Video
Friday, September 12th, 2008Wow. W…O…W.
I don’t know what to say. You’ve got to see it.
You’ll never be the same again.

Exploring, “The Shack”- 6- First Conversation with Papa
Thursday, September 11th, 2008Ok, so there’s way too much in this chapter. Too much for me to comment on everything. I don’t want to do this all the time, but for this chapter I’m going to hit some highlights and I want you to post comments where you have thoughts or would appreciate more depth and response. I’d [...]
Would Jesus Digg It?- 3- Physics, Youtube, & World Destruction?
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008The new Large Hadron Collider (largest and most advanced particle collider about to go online) and the associated story is kind of about Youtube and it’s also kind of not about Youtube. It is in the sense that I found it fascinating that even particle physics has been Youtubeized (I may be the first person [...]

Monday, September 8th, 2008Would you play this?
See how much Guitar Praise costs.
Or should they be sued for copyright infringement?
(As you can see from my 3 word author bio on top of the left sidebar, I am very interested to hear your answers…)
Saturday Thoughts on Community
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Today I was able to talk a little about community with our elders. This was especially appropriate as Messiah is starting a series on community, one many of you have probably heard of, “40 Days of Community”.
My focus this morning was on Psalm 133, one of the psalms of ascent and the idea of every [...]
Friday Linkage
Friday, September 5th, 2008What would you say if you received emails from the Presidential Candidates? Here’s what Don Miller said…
I’ll miss him, will you, Dan?
Another fantastic post from ‘Stuff Christians Like’. Do you treat God like the Dentist?
Can a Christian vote for Barack? A thoughtful post by Matt.
Check out Nora’s blog. She’s helping out in Haiti, where all [...]
Exploring, “The Shack”-5- Meeting God
Thursday, September 4th, 2008So how do you think you’ll greet God? That’s one of the questions asked in this chapter of The Shack. There are a number of interesting points in this chapter, but this is the question that presses the hardest.
Mack is walking up the shack and he’s trying to figure out what a person should do [...]
Would Jesus Digg It?- 2- The Fall Lineup
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008If you’re wondering about my unusual spelling of the word, digg, or why I’m using it, check out last week’s post. Basically, I’m looking to engage pop culture stories or items of note and think a little about the good, bad, and otherwise how or why we should or should not relate to them.
This week, [...]
