Starbury

When I was in high school I loved Shawn Kemp for his basketball skills and for his commitment to only endorse snakers that were under $100. Then I loved Shaq for his bball skills and for his commitment to offer Starter brand (a subsidery of Nike) kicks for under $30 at Payless. Now, I have [...]

Catch

Catching my son’s puke in my hand is one of the specialist moments in my life. My son has taught me more about God and Jesus than most of you who read this ever will – most likely because God chose to reveal Himself to us in a Father/Son/Spirit trichotomy (prolly not even a word). [...]

Rebuttal

I love learning new things. Yesterday I learned that when people call me a relativist (unjustly for sure) I can counter by asking them about their addiction to absolutism. By then, the conversation will be over. Sometimes I make short posts that say very little, but say it so dangerously….

Adam

Adamic perfection does not imply a lack of imperfection. At the very least we must admit that there was relational lacking in the pre-fall garden. Adam was alone and it was not good. Adam was perfect in a holistic manner; not in a individuated manner.

PESM 2.3

I finished the emerging church book by Gibbs and Bolger last night at dinner. Then went through 30 minutes of the biographies at the end. One said that when he went to Seminary he learned that it is not a place to develop and grow imaginatively theologically; rather it is a place to reinforce already [...]

Day 2 – Friday, sunny but windy

NYWC – Day 2 – Friday –
10-1130am – Heather bailed on her “leading students in worship” course because it really had nothing to do with leading youth – it was just worship leading in a general sense. For us, it was the biggest disappointment of the entire convention. Won’t go into it too much, but [...]

Zondervan Youth Specialties National Youth Worker Convention 2006 Anaheim

I am going to record here by day my experiences, teachings, ideas and questions while at the NYWC in Anaheim, November 2-6. I’ll go by hours so that it makes sense.
NYWC – Day 1 – Thursday12:00am-3:15am – I packed and stayed up and took care of my household. I had a few construction type things [...]

Cottonpatch Gospel

This is Romas 6 from the cotton patch gospel. Read it until you see why I like it…
So what are we advocating? “Let’s wallow in sin, so more grace may pour forth”? Hell, no! How can we who died in sin still live in it? Or are you unaware that we who were initiated into [...]

PESM 2.2

Day two of session two – early start.
Yesterday was prayer filled, lots of circling around and filling the echos of the throneroom with our voices. Nice.
Great discussion with Darrell, Jeremy and Dr. Odell about the Albany multi-site revlution. Great stuff – Dr. Odell also gave some understanding on my prof’s understanding of holiness. The difference [...]

Best Life Possible

In reference to my previous post on James 3:1 – it is such a blessing to see those we have been entrusted with teaching develop to the point where they are discovering truth themselves. Click on the title link to see a true and honest post by Theresa, a brand new freshwoman at OSU.
This is [...]
