What Missionaries Have Known For Centuries

Breaking the missional code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community, is a book that I have just finished reading.

What missionaries have known for centuries is that there are cultural barriers, in addition to spiritual ones, that keep people from truly hearing the gospel. The task is to find a balance between […]

Sports Moments That Inspire

After reading a post by Claude, discussing if sports and politics mix and if sports transcend into real life inspiration, I was prompted to give a response.
Historically, there are a few sports moments that stand out.
1. Jesse Owen

Jessie Owens, in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, excelled in track and also impacted the political world. […]

Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Louisville

Here is another show I love to watch. This week they are finally showing the Louisville edition. One of our members at New Dawn actually got to work on the house. He said the house is crazy, as always, with a guitar shaped pool inside and much more.
One of the family members is a blind, […]

Pepe is coming

Our church, Nuevo Amanecer, is planning for a big outreach event in April. Pepe, who sings Mariachi style, will be coming in from Florida. I love his outfit. I have to get me one of these.
In addition to the music, Pepe will share a message, and we will have a ton of food and games […]

A few weeks ago I promised my […]

Lot’s of snow for Louisville

Louisville was hit with, I believe, 4-5 inches of snow yesterday.
For this California boy, it was great! We don’t get much snow here in Kentucky, so when it comes, you got to have fun with it. I was throwing snow balls at co-workers last night. When I was driving home, trucks were spinning out […]

Quotes Of The Day

Schools back in session and I’m still on campus, so I have been playing a lot of pickup basketball. Well, today I heard two comments that just make you laugh inside.
Quote #1: “Are you American?” Why yes, I replied. “Oh, I thought you were from Spain.”

I don’t know if it’s the hair and beard […]

Converse Gear @ Target

I remember, back in the day, when the coolest thing to do at Target was to get an icey and a bag a popcorn.
Today, Target has plenty to offer in every department, even for men. My wife and I stopped by the other day, to look for an arm band for her Nano, when I […]

Great Game, Commercials, and Arby’s?

Well, I got what I hoped for out of the Super Bowl, barely.
First, I wanted to watch the game with family and friends (anyone who had better reception than the weak antenna support we get). After a few changes in our plans, this reality did happen, with a few minutes left in the first half.
Second, […]
