Which takes the cake for most ridiculous play of the week…
(1) Tommie Harris – football player, millionaire – punching another player in full view of the head umpire, 27 TV cameras, and 80,000 fans?
Or
(2) holding up your iPhone to block your son’s efforts to spray orange paint all over your head…
Tough call…vote in the comments…
What’s your favorite thing to eat at Panera?
This may seem a bit off topic for a blog about faith & life, but Panera has been a staple for me in both these arenas for quite some time. The seminary Dan and I attended was right across the street from the corporate headquarters of ‘Saint Louis [...]
The bar has been raised in our house!
Trudging through the spongy, rain soaked straw paths to discover that perfect pumpkin – the one with a solid base for standing on the front steps, a semi-flat front for easier carving, and no major punctures or insect infestations – was great fun for our family this week. [...]
What makes you feel old?
For me it was selling our first house this week. Sitting at the Century 21 conference table, waiting for our realtor to close the deal with the buyers gave us plenty of time to reminisce about our first house. And it also allowed us time to grieve the loss of our [...]

100 million dollars has been pumped into our local WI economy this past week by a festival called EAA held in Oshkosh. That’s a lot of dough! But why?
EAA is the yearly gathering for airplane enthusiasts. People who fly or build their own planes flock to Oshkosh the last week of July every year to [...]
After a long few months of studying up on multi-site ministries, analyzing the possibilities of my church and another local church merging together to do multi-site ministry, communicating the exciting possibilities of this new adventure to a congregation of 3800, and then waiting to see if they would vote to join in this new adventure, [...]
First of all, we want to apologize to any of you who have tried to connect to faithemergence.com over the past two weeks and haven’t been able to. We’ve been having consistent problems with our host’s server being down over the past 10 days to two weeks. We’ve had way too much downtime and it’s [...]
Why 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 [...]
It 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!).
