I am just amazed at how cool and talented Phil Keaggy is. Just amazing. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB9daFEtCcY&w=425&h=344] Here is another one…just ’cause. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV3bLZLpqTQ&w=425&h=344].
Everything is quick quick quick….even my favorite encyclopedia, Wikipedia, comes from the Hawaiian word for quick. Last night, in the middle of the night, around 3 AM I woke up and my brain was racing. I was mad, really mad and I was ‘yelling’ in the quiet of my mind at a group of people. Sounds like a bad dream… Read more →
I am reading Tangible Kingdom by Halter and Smay and was struck by this section. I thought I would share it with you: Here are some common responses we hear about the incarnational way. It takes the pressure off. My job is to provide a place of belonging, not push the Bible on people. I can trust God to do… Read more →

One of them is where Jesus is walking on the water and walks up to the disciples as they are rowing across the lake.

Ungodly” @lecrae (see here) These two tweets dominated the ‘missional twitterverse’ over the last two days. I would like to add these two good things: Check out the Re-Cap… Read more →
I was on Twitter and this guy said: “Jesus was the ultimate missionary. Left Heaven for Earth. To not be missional & leave comfort is to be unlike God. Ungodly” So I said, wow, who is that guy. I found his web site, he is a rapper. He is Lecrae and you can find some of his stuff on YouTube…. Read more →
I have been trying to win a contest for an ipod touch. It was a lot of fun. You know, you almost never win contests…and it looks like I won’t win this one either but I had a blast. Here is the video I made with the help of Leanne, Kate and Anna. Just like when you write a book… Read more →
