Happy Birthday, Jonathan
Monday, July 11th, 2005My brother turns 29 today. He’s lived a full life already, and the best is yet to come. In ministry since the age of 6, Jon’s an Xcel co-founder, youth pastor, church administrator, all-around trouble shooter and problem solver, bible school graduate, soon-to-be college graduate, friend and mentor.

Note from a volunteer
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005I found this randomly online. I didn’t even know a group called The Wave USA had volunteered at Xcel.

Finished
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005The Story We Find Ourselves in, today over lunch. It’s the second of three books in Brian McLaren’s ANKOC series. Wow. Refreshing. Stimulating. Provocative. Not sure I agree with all of it, but that’s partly the point. I don’t have to any more than Brian has to agree with me on every detail (as if) [...]
Perspective, part one
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005(Judah and Sammy at the Bibleman altar call last week.) Last Thursday, Judah and I picked up his buddy Sammy for two days of boys-only fun. The first thing out of Sammy’s mouth was that a man shot his brother six times “over there,” and he pointed to the courtyard just outside his building. “See [...]
Hispanics now one-seventh of U.S. population
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Census Bureau estimates 41.3 million in fastest-growing ethnic bloc. … “Looking toward the future, we see a different face of the U.S. population,†said Audrey Singer, an immigration and census specialist at the Brookings Institution. “But I don’t think that’s necessarily new.
