Into the cave, or into the darkness?

Currently I’m on sabbatical from my church. I’m working out things in my own life which have been largely ignored due to various other demands on my time, thoughts, and yes feelings. Unfortunately it seems like this process of dealing with it all is much more difficult than just not dealing with it to begin with. I’m learning that perceptions and reality are not the same things. Like in the picture, is she going into a scary cave, or is she leaving the safety of the cave to venture into the darkness?

What do you think about Good Friday? What exactly makes it good?

Dangerous Expectations

Not sure if I want to laugh or cry. Either way this is a serious problem in today’s churches.

A Matter of perspective

Even though these numbers are from England The point is still extremely valid. In D.A.R.E. we teach students to seriously think about how many students are doing these things and not merely give in to peer or media pressure. For numbers and stats in the USA, please refer to a survey called Monitoring the Future. I’m not trying to say that things are rosy, but numbers for teenage drug, alcohol, and tobacco use have been dropping for over a decade.

Lawsuit, Really???

Ok, so I got a threatening letter from a lawyer. He was claiming to represent a client my friend and I do some web design work for. Big mess which all boils down to some serious miscommunication issues. Hopefully we’ll be able to get it all taken care of without resorting to more lawyers. Either way, it’ll be another first for me. I guess I should’ve expected it at some point in time doing design work. Live and Learn

Day of Firsts

Tomorrow is a day of firsts. The wife and I are going through the love dare together with another couple. Between both of us doing it and another couple to help hold us accountable to it this should be a growing experience.

On top of that I am starting the 100 push-ups program tomorrow. Took the test today and completed 20 push-ups before I fell down. Day one of it all tomorrow, and it’s a Monday to begin with. Should be an interesting week.

Stumbling Blocks

Does it feel like the label “Christian” is a stumbling block to sharing your faith. Early Christians (before the term even came about) called themselves “Followers of The Way” What do you think? Is “Christian” becoming a word that is upsetting or uplifting?

Heaven??

I used to think that this was going to be what heaven would be like. Thank God for Christian maturity to help me realize that worship doesn’t have to be boring.
