Monday, May 9th, 2005Randi Weingarten, the president of one of the most powerful teachers unions in the nation, attended the National Day of Prayer service at Abounding Grace Minsitries last Thursday. [Photos courtesy of Mike Mowery. For more pics, go here.] It’s not often that evangelicals and public school union chiefs see eye to eye on educational issues, [...]
Please pray this weekend
Friday, May 6th, 2005I got bad news today and need to process it with grace and dignity. Thanks.
Pray for peace today in SoCal
Thursday, May 5th, 2005Ordinarily I would be skeptical of things like this as internet hoaxes, but Rudy is a source I trust. Apparently, Los Angeles anticipates gang bloodshed today between Mexican and black youths. Please join Rudy in praying for: “Protection for anyone targeted, for people of violence to be removed, or the spirit of violence to be [...]
McLaren on being "Born Again"
Wednesday, May 4th, 2005I’ve thought long and hard about the best way to blog about ANKOC, beyond the random comments for several weeks now, and I think letting McLaren speak for himself is a good place to start. So I’m going to begin with one of his softball (sarcasm alert) notions that I have to believe riled a [...]

The manifold wisdom of God
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known … according to his eternal purpose …” (Ephesians 3:10-11) What a colorful concept, the “manifold” wisdom of God. I always imagined a sheet of paper folded many times into a tiny fraction of its former size, getting unfolded [...]
Judah started school today
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005(For more pics, go here.) You read that right. His first day of Pre-K was May 3, not September whatever. Technically he missed the age cutoff to start pre-K this year by two days. (His birthday is Jan. 2. The cutoff is Dec. 31.) Since Diana has been a full-time caregiver, no big deal. But [...]
Congrats, Cortes!
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005One of Generation Xcel’s primary funders the past two years has been the federal Compassion Capital Fund via Nueva Esperanza, a financial intermediary run by Rev. Luis Cortes of Philadelphia. Today’s New York Times profiles Esperanza in “Hispanic Group Thrives on Faith and Federal Aid”: “Although a national study of the compassion fund is still [...]
A new kind of Christian
Monday, May 2nd, 2005… keeps his word, unlike my promise to blog about Brian McLaren’s book of the same title when I read it last month. MK reminded me of my transgression so I’ll make an introductory comment beyond the half dozen or so brief references weeks ago. God’s timing remains ever mysterious to me. When it seems [...]
Eight days since my last post
Monday, May 2nd, 2005… so I wanted this to be a good one. For time’s sake, it has to be short as well. I read in the paper this morning that NJ Nets coach Lawrence Frank tried to inspire his team to victory in Game 4 yesterday by posting a classic MLK quote at the players’ lockers. The [...]
