Got a packet of advertisements in the mail at church yesterday. Two stood out: On the outside of the packet there was a teaser from a sign company: “The first step in growth? A quality church sign.” Then, on the real advertisement inside, it said: “This is the sign that reached the family and brought […]
I Think I Finally Have a Need for a Video iPod
I made a potentially time-consuming discovery the other day: TED.com. It’s pretty much one big happy convergence of brilliance. The ecclesiolgy pointed at in the video below makes it one of my favorites. Go to the site and enjoy. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to figure out how to get my hands on a […]
I Don’t Understand Twitter…
…but it’s finally starting to catch on pretty big. I’ll have to give it a shot and see what I think.
Productivity Push
Blah. That’s pretty much where I’ve been lately. Just blah. Not sad, not happy, just blah. And I think part of it is that I want to do so many things with my work, life, house, classes writing, whatever, and I look at the calendar and another month has gone by and I haven’t taken […]
My Most Random Post Ever
I haven’t been happy with myself lately. I feel like I’m not managing my time very well. I’ve got all these things going on and I feel like I’m doing all (well, maybe most) of them very crappily. I’ve gotten a bit behind in my GTD system, which could be part of the problem. I […]

My prediction as of right now: if Tennessee beats Memphis Saturday, they win the tourney. My emotional favorite to win: Duke. The […]
123 Book Meme
Jake tagged me for the 123 book meme. So here’s the deal: (1) Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! (2) Turn to page 123. (3) Find the first 5 sentences. (4) Post the next 3 sentences. (5) Tag 5 people. Me: Joining a church-planting team is. Standing with mothers […]
Lessons in Eisegesis
From merriam-webster.com: Eisegesis – the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one’s own ideas On that note, watch this video on YouTube. (I tried to embed the video, but it messed up my template for some reason. I’ll have to check that out.)
Denominational Differences
As someone who has been exposed to differing denominations (non-, Baptist, Lutheran, some 2nd-order Presbyterianism), I would like to burst the bubble of those who are lifelong adherents to a particular denomination. It is common across denominational boundaries that: No one sits on the front row. Coffee flows like milk and honey. Food and pot-luck […]
Posting Hiatus
Chances are there won’t be any new posts until the Monday after Thanksgiving. I’ll be busy visiting families, getting ready for our monthly Sunday night service, taking vacation, blah blah blah. If I do post, just consider it a gift.
