As many of you already know I am moving soon to Sedalia, MO to be the teaching pastor at the First United Methodist Church there. As such, I am going to be focused on my transition for the next couple of months. This blog is going to have to move to a new location, since this domain is owned by the Wesley Foundation. I will have a new blog in the future. I may have two separate blogs, one integrated w/ the new church family I am going to be a part of for things like what I’ve been doing here, and another just to keep all my peeps posted on whats happnin in my new life. Stay tuned for where thats going to be . . . . .
Easter Message
To whom it may concern, the message from Easter is now available online [here]. CD’s of the Easter message will be available this week at the church office and in Sunday’s service. A mp3 cd of all of the messages will be available when the series is completed.
Promised Erwin McManus Article
Here is the Erwin McManus article I had promised in my previous post. I would have provided a link, but this is an old article that I had saved and I couldn’t find it posted anywhere on the internet.
Article:
Alexander Hamilton was 19 years old when George Washington appointed him as an aid. Impressive enough, except […]
Revolutionary
Here is an interesting article on the information revolution and the struggle our legal and economic system is having with a radical new framework [ The Revolution Will Be Televised . . On YouTube ]. I have read several interesting articles recently that I hadn’t bookmarked, but was able to track down. One about a […]
More on Talpiot Tomb
I only perused the Discovery channel show. It was two hours, and even though I had it on DVR that was way too much time for me to devote to this subject, since so much of the film was just fluff. It was interesting to note that the expert witnesses were primarily verifying the information […]
Talpiot Tomb
Here is an interesting new controversy. I assume someone is trying to capitalize on the Da Vinci Code effect, which is the brainwashing of the uninformed about new takes on history. The claim is that the ossuaries (burial box of the bones of a deceased person) of Jesus and his family were found together in […]
The Looming Tower
Here is an very well written introductory history of not just al-qaeda, but radical Islamic fundamentalism in general. Very useful in understanding the mindset and motives of this stream of terrorism. After this read, my sense is that terrorism and radical Islam is not primarily about religion. It is primarily motivated by a grasping for […]
My Favorite Word : Free
I am very fortunate in that I actually know what my favorite word is . . . . Free. How many people can say that? The problem is, most of the things in life that are free tend to reflect in value what you have (or haven’t) paid for them. But somehow, Google seems to […]
Good Idea for a Book
Anyone in particular you can think of to whom you would like to send this cartoon? Now, now . . . let’s be nice Christians.
Fiesta Bowl Heartbreaker
Here are some interesting stats from the OU Boise State game. These statistics are from ESPN’s website and at the time I took this survey, 62,107 people had chimed in (my responses are in bold). I have to say, I am just now in a place where I can comment about this game, I have […]
