« Previous Entries Next Entries »The Litigation Effect
Monday, March 28th, 2005Court went reasonably well today. Actually, as well as could be expected. The judge is taking very seriously the problems with our purported landlord’s ownership, and has agreed to prioritize discovery on this issue moving forward. In a ruling last month she suggested that First Ukrainian (the church that originally owned the building) may still [...]

Odale, vato. The homies are comin
Friday, March 11th, 2005I spent the afternoon with John Teter and three of his InterVarsity leaders from Long Beach, California. They’re planning a six week urban intensive this summer with a dozen or so students, and they’re crashin’ with us in New York. After a couple hours with the Dodger lovin’ wanna-be-Yankee fans, it’s clear we’re gonna have [...]
29,000 died of hunger today
Friday, February 25th, 2005That many die of hunger every 24 hours. To them we dedicated the Voice of Silence. Over two hundred inner city teens gathered at Primitive Christian Church to consider the pain of hunger as part of World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine. Through spoken word, music, dance, and art, they identified with the hurting and vowed [...]
Why Art Matters
Thursday, February 24th, 2005It communicates Truth viscerally in ways that mere words cannot. See for example, Transformations, the mural we commissioned from artist Greg King for Generation Xcel’s 88-Step theater. Greg King, 2002. Oil on Canvas. Triptych measuring appx. 8×12 Transformations depicts Generation Xcel’s vision for community and individual renewal. The perimeter of the cityscape is characterized by [...]
VOICE (of silence)
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005Join Generation Xcel in raising awareness of global hunger and AIDS at the “Voice of Silence,” an interactive evening of music, spoken word, and artistry presented in partnership with World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine.

The ill effects of misplaced blogging
Tuesday, February 8th, 2005I heard terrible (maybe “terrible” is a bit overstated) news this afternoon. Two of my girls (mine insofar as they’re little sisters who are part of the Xcel family) are, or have recently been, punished because of things they wrote on their Xanga blog accounts. Girls, come on. You’re too bright, too insightful, (dare I [...]
“It started spreading like cockroaches”
Thursday, February 3rd, 2005This story reminded me of Enid. Last night, fans at an Alabama girls high school basketball game rioted, forcing police to clear the gym and cancel the game. Before Enid became the mature, wise-beyond-her-years youth specialist we at Xcel know and love, my first introduction to her was at a neighborhood football game nine or [...]
Court Update
Tuesday, February 1st, 2005The judge agreed today to decide the ownership question once and for all before proceeding any further with the eviction case against Generation Xcel and my dad’s church, Abounding Grace Ministries. If she concludes that the purported landlord does not properly own the building, they have no legal basis to continue trying to evict us. [...]
Court tomorrow
Monday, January 31st, 2005Please pray as we return to court tomorrow following a failed attempt on Friday to arrive at an out-of-court settlement in our eviction proceeding. While mediation has so far been unsuccessful, we are confident that the ultimate outcome of this case will honor God and maintain a spiritual lighthouse in the community.
