What’s Twitter good for?

An acquaintance that became a friend last night asks this:

“What’s the difference between Twitter and narcissism?”

Should we use adjectives to describe how “christian” someone is?

The past few weeks I’ve taken note of phrases like, “nominal Christian”, “he/she is not very deep in his/her faith”, “their faith isn’t very mature”… you get the idea.

I heard a sermon this morning that focused on Revelation 3:16 where it says:
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”

“Lukewarm” sounds a lot like some terms we use to describe some Christians.

It was by Francis Chan and it’s up on iTunes. He had some very powerful insights into the whole thing.

I never EVER thought I’d have this many kids!

Or that they’d be this cool and this good looking!

For our friends that aren’t Facebook saavy…

Following Jesus vs. Sharing Jesus

I think that we’ve successfully separated following Jesus from sharing Jesus with others.

It’s like the sharing part is seen as an option instead of what it really is – part of following Him.

Rewording scripture for middle school clarity

Now I don’t know ancient Greek but…

How would reword Luke 12:34 so a middle schooler would be clear about what Jesus was referring to in metaphor?

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

My crack at it was, “What you value most is what you are.”

The Ladder of Success

Line of the night last night from Diane’s school’s graduation…

“Some people have followed the ladder of success but it’s leaning up against the wrong wall.”

It was from a graduating senior and I can’t wait to see where following Jesus takes her

The Road

Parts of The Road were filmed on Beach #10 on Presque Isle here in Erie and at a farm house you can see out the back window of my parent’s house in Saxonburg, PA. If it hadn’t been raining when they were out on Beach #10, I would have ran right by them on a long run.

I think you can see part of the beach scene in the trailer and other parts look like Western PA.

“My name is Captain Wild Bill Kelso and don’t you forget it.”

I don’t care what this makes you think of me but I will watch this movie every chance I get. Spielberg did it by the way.
Warning… he says a colorful word for “poopy” in this clip.
This is how I dream of arriving at work everyday

Ed Young

I think Ed Young is kinda goofy.

If you’re into Twitter, here’s a very unique experiment

It deals with “remote viewing”.
