linky link

I have not been writing much over the past few days. I’ve been trying to disconnect just a little bit. So here are the links for the week…short though it may be. Imitation is suicide. Be yourself. If any of you go to desiringgod.org and order over 20 dollars worth of stuff, you will get [...]

Update

August 21, 2008 Dear Family and Friends, It’s been a while since we’ve sent an update. These past few months have been very busy for us. We were able to spend a week in I. C.t with all of our co-workers from W. A. It was truly a time of encouragement and refreshment as we [...]

Interesting Season

I find myself in an interesting season right now with a lot of burning desires to “press forward,” “do something great,” “See some big things happen.” I feel like God may be moving in that direction, but He currently has me patiently waiting. I don’t know if you know how difficult that has been for [...]

Donald Miller Prays at DNC

For those of you who love Blue Like Jazz or Searching for God Knows What or any other Donald Miller book, here’s a link to Don’s website. Last night he prayed at the Democratic National Convention.

Ever heard of muni. I don’t [...]

Lanny

If you don’t know Lanny Donoho (well, “know of” would be more appropriate I guess), then you are missing some humor in your life. Click here for some good humor in your life.

culture

What does it mean to “transcend culture”? I wrote last week about cultural relevance and how that’s just not good enough for the church. We ought to be putting out great artists, incredible musicians, excellent communicators, unique and original voices that lead culture rather than merely “keeping up” with what just happened (that’s what people [...]

Wild Goose Chase Giveaway

Okay, so most people who reviewed Wild Goose Chase probably gave away their additional copy of the book on the day they reviewed it. Their version of the giveaway was probably really spiritual and holy like, “Leave a comment about you think God is going to change your life for the next 25 years because [...]

Wild Goose Chase Review

A few weeks back I was reading a post on Mark Batterson’s blog where he offered a copy of his new book, Wild Goose Chase to anyone willing to review the book on their site. I sent in my plea. I thought there would be no chance because there are a ton of other people [...]
