2005

I’m in the EST zone and celebrated new year’s early compared to normal. I’m going to stay up till at least three so that I can celebrate the new year in my new homeland…this was a shorter year for me, by three hours…
This is supposed to be a super introspective time and all, planing for [...]

Emergence

I got thinking about this a bit from a statement that Tony Jones made saying that the emerging church will be missional. He talks about this in the context of church polity and government. His main thrust is that the emerging church must have a thin organizational chart in order to have thick relevance. Think [...]

Online Advent Calander

via Jonny Baker
This is a great daily site with online meditations and such in the form of an online advent calander. Much ups to the Episcopal Church.  When we were kids we used to get these with little chocolates in them. This version has a stained glass with different pieces having numbers on them.
Each meditation [...]

Parables

I am having a bit of a borderline obsession with the parables. I think they might be where we can find the eternity of our faith. Which is an important question as we are struggling with the reorientation into a new way to be Xn.

And there is a whole gallery of [...]

Sean Dayton

This is a website for a kid who was in the first youth group I ever volunteered with. Great kid, although he is 20something now.
Anyways – you can enjoy some music and such from the great white north.

Great Weekend Part Three

Finally -
We had just a great neXus last night. A great group and did some Sacred Reading, I think it may have been the first time for everyone in the room, but Heather and I….but most people were sharing and all.
I tried doing some in small groups and had never done that – so it [...]

Great Weekend Part Two

Lj had a birthday on the weekend! He’s two now and can already give the story of salvation and has a good theology of God’s soveriegnty and the Satan’s ultimate destiny. What a smart kid.
We got him a drum set that I’m sure our neighbors will come to love over the coming years.
He had a [...]

Great Weekend Part One

Just had a great weekend -
Had an overnight retreat (advance!?) with the students in the invert program – it was all about exploring Jesus and his life on earth. Spent time in a mall, praying at 4 am, in a cemetary,at a bock dock, chasing a Santa parade.
It was a great weekend with a lot [...]
