I’ve had a great couple of days at the NACC in Louisville. Yesterday I led a contemplative prayer session at 8 AM. There were no sinners among those who attended. Only saints show up at 8 AM for contemplative prayer.
Last night Dave Stone did a great job. He comes across with [...]

Six weeks ago we bought our 5 year-old (Caleb) his first bicycle. On Sunday, we bought our 3 1/2 year-old (Elijah) his first bicycle. His tricycle just couldn’t keep up with his big brother’s bike. He was getting tired of pedaling fast and going nowhere and we were getting tired of waiting [...]
A great discussion here about the nature of personal salvation. Perriman has articulated quite well a concept that I’ve been unable to adequately put into words.
Am I sure that I am saved? I do not think that the Bible defines ‘Christianity’ fundamentally or centrally as a religion of salvation, and certainly not of the [...]
Scot McKnight points us to this quiz about the kingdom of God.

I feel like I’ve once again been suckered into an endless maze of mythology and conspiracy that will never be satisfactorily resolved. It’s X-Files all over again.

Lots going on, but not much to talk about.
I had a great “getting things done” day around the house yesterday. I checked off a long list of to-do’s that needed to get done.
I’m reading Simply Christian by N. T. Wright. As is usual for Wright, it’s good. I’d love to get a [...]
My boys loved this.
I do feel a bit sorry for Bush though. He gets made fun of by everybody!

I took the boys to see “Cars” on Friday afternoon. They loved the action and pretty colors and goofy voices. I loved the story. It spoke to me more than any movie has in a while.
My sister read a comment on a previous post about Miami Vice and sent me this pic. It’s about as close to Miami Vice as I ever got. This would have been in the spring of 1987 just before my 8th grade banquet in Rockport, Texas. There was going to be (ahem) [...]
