Up until about a year ago, I had no desire to be “green” at all, honestly I thought it was just a trend. Then I listened to a series that Rob Bell did called God is Green and it totally rocked my world. My perspective changed, I began to realize the importance of respecting the [...]
I’ve seen this posted all over the blogosphere for the last week or so, and I just got around to watching it yesterday. I think its something we all should watch and remember during this season. Oh and its pretty funny. “Everythings amazing right now, and nobody’s happy.” So true. Whats amazing about your life? [...]
Every Christmas we serve our community by helping anyone who needs it, and its our hope that they have the best Christmas possible. Its our mission that every child in our county has presents under the tree on Christmas day. But we don’t limit it to toys, we also provide a 40lb. box of food [...]
I’ve been carrying this book around in my bag for about 3 weeks, even though I’ve been excited to read it, there’s been no real urgency. Last week Shan and I were chatting about it, and he was in the same spot, just didn’t feel like the right timing to start it. Nothing against Rob [...]
Last week, a young lady from our community was abducted, possibly raped, and murdered. Bri was 21, and she had been missing for 2 days before the Search and Rescue Teams found her body, and her immediate family were all part of that team. (read more here) I know this is a heavy post, but [...]
We love to play dress up around here and Monday night Bella was rocking her Princess outfit with all the accessories: the tiara, the necklace, and of course the magic wand. At one point she had closed the door to the playroom and she was standing outside the door yelling, LET DOOR OPEN! Just so [...]
I’m extremely late on this post (thanks to the hiatus), but its just too good not to share. Stop what your doing and watch this right now. Check this out if you want to see the video content that was used on the screens during the song.
…Pedro. Ha. You didn’t really think I was going to tell you who I voted for did you? I can see positives with either candidate winning the election: If McCain wins then we’ll hopefully get 4 years of Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin impressions; and if Obama wins, then you know theres gonna be a [...]
Here we are a month later, after my unofficial blog fast, and obviously I’m feeling a little over-dramatic. This little hiatus started because of a really busy week in which I didn’t miss blogging at all (because of all the busyness that is). The next week I missed it, but again the busyness just got [...]
I’m back at work today, not really sure how I feel about that yet, but I just got a little excited because I got Rob Bell’s new book “Jesus Wants to Save Christians” in the mail. I can’t wait to read it, as a matter of fact it may skip line a little to get [...]
I’ve been reading Pop Goes the Church for about the last month (I’m a slow reader), and let me just start by saying this is a great book. Tim Stevens has put into words what I’ve been feeling about the church for a long time. You should definitely read it, its awesome in pure form [...]
In August every year (well the last 2 years), just after school starts back we have a big weekend we call FamilyLife Weekend. Basically, the idea is to give our families a chance to worship together. So all of our kids services shut down for the weekend, except the wee little guys, and everyone enjoys [...]
