« Previous Entries Next Entries »Question of the Week
Tuesday, November 15th, 2005“Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again.” With that, I’m going to try a second Question of the Week while I’m away, even though the first one flopped as a conversation starter. How do people perceive you, and how do their perceptions differ from reality? posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 11/15/2005 [...]
Word of the week
Tuesday, November 15th, 2005Resuming a pseudo-tradition (is it tradition yet when you’ve done something just twice?), this week’s totally random Word of the Week. I literally opened a dictionary and it lept off the page at me: Shavian: n. An admirer of George Bernard Shaw. adj. Of, pertaining to, or like George Bernard Shaw. Can you imagine having [...]
Off to Indy
Tuesday, November 15th, 2005Tomorrow morning, for the CCDA conference. It’s officially my first one (although I did crash part of the conference in New York back in 2000; that’s where I met Rudy). I’m participating in a panel and another “emerging leader” conversation. (There’s that term again.) While I’m not sure exactly what that means or what the [...]
Call to Action – NYC residents and pastors
Monday, November 14th, 2005When silly policies create needless headaches and can be easily remedied, it’s incumbent on us to demand change. One such issue came to my attention this month, when my Annual Clergy Parking Permit expired, and I am requesting your assistance. If enough of us make noise, this can be cured. The New York City Department [...]
Reflections from church today
Sunday, November 13th, 20051. Sixteen year old Anthony Liatsis led worship at New Hope’s third service, consistently the largest of the three, with 250-300 attending. Once a month for four or five months, the youth band has led worship at the second service, but this was the first time, to my knowledge, that Anthony led in the third [...]
He’s an artist now too
Saturday, November 12th, 2005On Thursday in school, Judah drew a portrait of his dad preaching. Click thumbnail for larger image or here for the full page, with instructions. Note the details: the podium, with a cross; the tie “with a t-shirt,” he said; the round belly; and the goatee and shaggy hair. He’s still only four! posted by [...]
Another Miracle!
Saturday, November 12th, 2005In September, Generation Xcel hit the bottom of the financial barrel and received an $8,000 miracle just in time to get things rolling for the after-school year. That well dried up on Friday. I just received an email promising another $8,000 miracle this week! Join the Thanksgiving fun by making a tax-deductible, holiday gift to [...]
The Meeting, Day 2
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Youth Explosion’s gazillion-voice choir rocked once again, especially a dance-infused rendition of “Holy.” The Man was even better the second time around! Live music — horns, percussion, tympani, acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, drums, middle eastern melodies, even classic hymns — takes hip hop to another dimension, and it’s amazing what three Alvin Ailey dancers [...]
Last night at The Meeting
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Tony Evans preached Acts 13:36: “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.” He emphasized three aspects: 1. “David served God’s purpose” — His was not a plotless life. (Why was Seinfeld so successful? People with plotless lives like [...]
Freakonomics’ Answer to Question of the Week
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Despite the lukewarm response to last week’s Question of the Week, for the three of you who cared, here’s Freakonomics take on it. Q: If drugs dealers make so much money, why do they live with their mothers? A: Except for the 2-5% of dealers at the top of the drug trade, drug dealers don’t [...]
