Monday, November 28th, 2005Some reflections on the holiday, which Diana and I were privileged to host at our place this year: – George Washington proclaimed the first national day of Thanksgiving back in 1789, to offer “sincere and humble thanks” to God for his provision and protection, and also to repent of “national and other transgressions.” I wonder [...]
Love them enough to pay the bill
Sunday, September 25th, 2005“Then he added, as he seemed at times to look straight at Mr. Bush: ‘It is not so important what we say, it is important what we do. Defining moments of history cannot be defined by rhetoric and words or anger, or soliciting people to respond in a tempestuous way. But real leadership is defined [...]
I’m feeling Abe tonight
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005“[O]ur fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” Link.
Is the Assemblies of God ready for the Emerging Church?
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005One guy’s attempt to translate the so-called “emergent church” for an A/G district: “Now remember, I was to challenge and represent a mindset that is growing inside and outside the church walls.

Sunday, August 21st, 2005This seemed inappropriate to post last Tuesday when the story was “news,” but it’s important to mention because it means we have unfinished business. Despite gentrification, the LES still has a drug problem. A deadly batch of heroin may have killed six people over five days in downtown Manhattan – including two college coeds found [...]
Divinely inspired
Friday, August 19th, 2005At Nonna’s memorial service, Boom2 read the following testimony that Nonna had written in the 1970s. It reminded me again how inextricably linked Diana and I and our families are from before either of us were born. Nonna had shared it many times with me over the years, but hearing it recounted last night was [...]
Feels like a funeral
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Sorry that my blog has become so depressing this month. The dog days of August have been unkind, but an eternal God sustains us! Unfortunately, cliche Christianity at times obscures the truth of that statement, but I’ve been reminded of Truth this month. I can’t imagine enduring the loss of a loved one, or, for [...]
Convergence, McLaren’s way
Friday, August 12th, 2005I hope that recent controversies about emergence will give way to a profound new convergence – where formerly alienated people come together as never before to form Christ-centered communities in which more and more of us learn to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength … in which we learn to love [...]
Get over it
Friday, August 12th, 2005[Click the image for a larger view] Even at 10 years old, Caleb found time to keep a journal. Not everyday, but often enough that it contained some profound insights.
