Thursday, July 14th, 2005“What relief? A-Rod’s homer off Schilling rallies Yanks past Red Sox.” (but not this): “The Yankees put RHP Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder and scratched him from Friday’s scheduled start.” That makes four out of six Yankee starting pitchers now on the DL. Their replacements: a bag [...]
Dedicated to my bride
Thursday, July 14th, 2005(June 21, 1997)”Scripture ends in a marriage. This is the end to which all Things tend, the end which makes all Things new. Marriage unites, but In its fire, true love does not Consume. Selfishness burns. All That mars love ignites, makes ash. But faith, hope, love survive. Love Is the last, best word, the [...]
Officially his last
Thursday, July 14th, 2005Evangelist Billy Graham today announced that he has declined an invitation to hold an evangelistic crusade in London, a decision he deferred until after his just-concluded Greater New York Crusadeóhis eighth in the New York City metro areaóattended by more than 242,000 people. What an honor to have participated in the final crusade by history’s [...]
Hasta la vista, friends
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005Our LA LA interns returned to Cali today. To Edgar, Michelle, Joe, Artia, April, Ignacio, Kristin, Gayleah, and Yolanda: you will be missed. Thank you for your graciousness, your willingness to be stretched, and, most of all, your compassion and kindness for our kids. Your family and friends should be proud of the dignity with [...]
A Timely Word
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005I love road trips, especially when the drive is long enough to allow for great thinking/prayer/meditation, but not so long that my eyes start to glaze. Three or four hours is just about right. The ride to and from York, PA, is perfect: three hours without traffic. This afternoon during the return trip — which [...]
His Spirit Moves Them
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005CityTribe church, pastored by my friend Juan Galloway, was featured in Sunday’s Star Ledger, New Jersey’s largest newspaper. “It was a winter night, cold. I was a drug addict, a dope fiend,” said Sonny, a Vietnam veteran who was living under bridges and spent the years from 1976 to 1997 in prison. “I started coming [...]
On modesty and sexual temptation
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005I realize that just going out the door at this time of year is visually challenging for most men, but I’ve never understood how they can plant themselves right in the middle of guaranteed nakedness. It may even be worse than conducting a Bible study at Hooters. Thanks, Bob, for the tip.
Two cents worth
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005Consider:1. Dinner conversations between Simon the zealot and Matthew the tax collector. Zealots were 1st century, politically activist Jews who advocated the violent overthrow of Roman occupation and, on occassion, made political statements through the shedding of blood (think PLO or Islamic Jihad … old-school terrorists), while tax collectors were Jewish appeasers of Rome. As [...]
The antidote to sin
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005Equal parts humilty, generosity, and integrity. I heard Rick Warren share this last month to a gathering of NY-area church panters that are part of his “Purpose-Driven” network of churches. It was stimulating in light of 1 John 2:16-17: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of [...]
A New Purpose for the original "Purpose-Driven Life"
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005I’ve met Rick Warren several times in the past year, first at Billy Graham’s L.A. Crusade last November and again at the New York Crusade. Each time he’s come across as genuine, approachable, and generous. Thanks, DJ Chuang, for linking to the transcript of a recent forum Pastor Rick held with various mainstream media figures. [...]
