New Veg Favorite

I'm glad to see Amy's taking over the frozen food section at local grocery stores. They have no meat and are made with organic ingredients. Try one and let me know.

Next Best Thing

I just finished my morning ride on the Trek I recently acquired. It isn't running, but is the closest, best thing to the CV I can get to running. I miss running, but enjoy the speed and mechanics of being on the bike.

Mosques Going Multi-Site

Mosques across the country are beginning to use a model similar to the one used by some suburban and downtown megachurches, operating multiple sites to serve a large and dispersed congregation.

RNS Feature: "Muslims begin to copy the megachurch multi-site model"

But will they have Starbucks?

Trek discovery

I picked up a used Trek touring bike at Scooters bikes today and it's just what I need. I'm really out of shape, not being able to run anymore (bad sacroiliac joint) and my daily walks temporarily ended with plantar fascitis. So now I am biking. It's been several years since I've done any real exercise on a bike, but I look forward to getting into it. The bike is about 20 years old but in great shape.

Maybe not.

How to Talk to a Eunuch

I'm preaching on Acts 8:26-35--the story about Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch-- this Sunday in our Crossings service.  The thrust of the sermon will be about how we (church) can be a witness of Jesus in our world today--with the need to help people understand Jesus in a post-church world.  I'm working on the sermon again today and trying to get inside the text a bit more.  I can't help but think of the eunuchs in History of the World, Part 2.

Communion Stations on Sunday

This was a communion worship station in Crossings. It was moving to hear each group read the Lords Prayer aloud together and to see them partake in the bread and cup together after our look at 1 Cor. 12.
