Updated (29/30)

preachingicon.jpgI’m finally caught up on updating the Speaking page. Our series through Jesus’ letters to the churches in Revelation 1-3 just wrapped up, and I must say that I sure enjoyed working through those passages.

Of greatest interest, however, is likely the classes that have been added to the Speaking page. We’re in the midst of a fantastic weekly class being led by Stan Helton about what God’s mission in the world is, and how we are called to enter into what He’s up to.

This class was conceived when I asked Stan if he’d be willing to teach a class about the concept of the “missional church” without using the lingo that’s being pumped through an increasing number of “church books” these days.

Several weeks in, and our congregation is having conversations and asking questions of great weight. As Stan said in a recent class, this is not A discussion for the church. This is THE discussion. I would agree. Powerful thread of thought being shared week after week in these times…

If you’d care to join the discussion, the door is open to you!

 

PS: A friend told me that the Speaking page was not working for everything under the links “2007” and “2008”.  That has been remedied, and all is accessible now.

Eyes (28/30)

A search for an “eyes” image led me to this picture, and I just think it’s beautiful.

Wobbly (27/30)

This gave me a good laugh.

The video itself is funny, but it’s the one newscaster wheezing in the background that really tickles me.

Shaq (26/30)

For all that he’s done in his career so far, some of Shaq’s interviews just might be some of his highlights.  Here’s TSN’s top 10…

Kapono (25/30)

I love when people say things that just catch me a touch off guard.

The Raptors’ three-point specialist and defending champion of the NBA’s three-point contest was interviewed about his quest to repeat this weekend. From Sportsnet.ca

“Kapono, meanwhile, will attempt to become the first back-to-back winner of the three-point shootout.

The Raptors’ sharp-shooter, who won last year in Las Vegas when he was with the Miami Heat, takes a certain amount of pride in his three-point prowess.

‘It’s my only chance to show my kids and say, I’m the best at something so when I’m 35, 40, 45, and my kids tell me that I’m a scrub, I can at least say I was the best for one year, 2007,’ Kapono said, laughing. ‘That’s about all I can say I’m the best at, because I’m not very good.'”
