Monday, March 13th, 2006I was just reading this morning, and Paul wrote it in order for us to comfort each other in the repeating of it. Please read.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. […]
Mindfulness and Walking in the Spirit
Friday, March 10th, 2006Tuesday night at our cell group meeting, we talked a lot about that elusive mystery, walking in the Spirit. We came up with a couple things that may help people out. The first thing we discovered together, is that not all parts of the Spirit-led life are black and white, 100% on or 100% off. […]
Looking for Church Signs
Thursday, March 9th, 2006You've all seen them – the local church buildings and their billboards. Sometimes the stuff on there is pithy, witty, or helpful. Sometimes it is very, very sad. Either way, they're usually interesting. So if you see an interesting one, grab that digital camera and snap a picture and send it to me, so we can […]
Rolling to the Middle
Thursday, March 9th, 2006A song about humility in marriage, from one of my favorite singers, Sarah Groves, was posted about on the marriedlife blog. Great song. Here it is:

On Sunday night, we studied the seven signs of Jesus, as prominently presented by the gospel of John. Sign number 3, Jesus asks the man by the pool, "Do you want to be well?" We look at Jesus in order to […]
The Glory of a Humble Life
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006I've just been reading today I Thess. 4:10b-12. Let me quote it here: Grow more and more in your love for one another, and seek to live a quiet life, attending to your own business, and working with your hands, as we said before, so that you can walk properly toward the lost, and not […]
Sending Our Finest To Mississippi
Monday, March 6th, 2006When the call came out to send help to the hurricane victims in Mississippi and Louisiana, we wasted no time in sending our very best to help out. Here's Jacob displaying his unquestionably incredible strength, helping with an air conditioning unit.
REVIEW - Blue Like Jazz
Sunday, March 5th, 2006Blue Like Jazz, by Donald Miller, is a thing of beauty. I read this and found parts of my own journey all over the place, without feeling (at all) like there was a problem that my story differed from Don's. There are a few quotes I'd like to give you to give you a feel. […]
REVIEW - Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas
Thursday, March 2nd, 2006Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas is the book I just finished reading. I can't lie. This book was a bear for me to read. I'm really not starstruck enough with Bono (or anyone, for that matter) to drool over his every word, or pour over the book. That being said, it really gives […]
