Where I am at.

Its been several days, I know. It took quite some time for me to get back into a groove though after the illness, and time out of town over the weekend, and getting through Sunday and Monday. Here I am though. Tuesday morning, ready to move back in to a regular routine, and ready to [...]

I once was sick but…

…now I’m not really sure. Sorry for no updates the past couple of days. I had some really bad virus or something. In fact, its quite possible I still do as I’m feeling a touch weird this morning. Oh well, got to fight through it. Just to get something posted this morning, I thought I’d [...]

Shadow Mission

So I’m not really qualified to speak about shadow mission yet as I haven’t read enough about this topic. But, my pastor, Rusty, is reading a book about shadow mission, and last week, he used it to shape me a little bit. We sat around for a good half hour or so just hashing out [...]

If you’re not following Brad Ruggles…you should. Here’s what I came across this week on his site. This thought provoking video. And then this thought provoking video. Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo. Go visit Brad. Have your thoughts provoked.

Jesus or UMC

I grew up Southern Baptist, and have often been given a hard time, whether in jest or in seriousness about “becoming Methodist.” Well, membership in a denomination doesn’t mean a whole lot to me.

Centurion Man

I read about Centurion Man today in Luke. Okay, so that wasn’t his real name, it just says that he was a centurion, but I’m calling him Centurion Man. This individual that Luke references really jumped into my head with his cape that has 100′s all over it and ran around for a little while [...]

Do Good

I’m offering up another opportunity for you to spend less on while giving more. Well, I’m not really offering it, I’m just leading you to the site of the people who are offering it. If the shoes thing wasn’t enough for you or you just didn’t feel the tug to give towards that, here’s another. [...]

50,000 Shoes

So I did a rant earlier about how much we spend at Christmas. Pete Wilson posted this morning saying, I’ve been reading retailers are disappointed with the spending figures from Black Friday even though some 10.6 billion dollars were spent at an average of $372 per shopper. To put this into perspective, we could have [...]
