If you are at all interested in the "emergent" talks/conversations that are going on all over the place you might appreciate this blog on the topic. It is by Pastor Richard Dalstrom of Bethany Community Church in Seattle. He is a good man with wise words to contemplate.

The Bible Experience...

thanks to ysmarko for this...

wow. i’d heard about “the bible experience” — it’s a dramatic reading of the entire bible, with original music, read by an all african-american cast, including denzel washington, blair underwood and many others (releasing this fall). but i just went to the website, and watched the ‘behind the scenes’ video, and just found myself brought to tears. this is going to be so beautiful. really, you must watch this. i will count the days until i can listen to the whole thing — god’s story, our story, so gorgeously rendered.

Super-Soakers are Out...This is In!

As a pastor to jr. and sr. high students for the last twelve years every summer you plan on having some fun with water. Be it water fights, water balloons, swimming parties, super-soaker battles, or all of the above. But I think I have found something that could take this to a whole new level. Check it out...

FOR FUN...

So I have been a bit silent for a while now. Sorry about that. I have been preparing for a baby to enter the world and my home. And I was on a little vacation visiting some great brothers of mine in Corvallis OR. Namely, Bernd Strom and family, Carlo Furlan and family, and Brent O'Neill and family...I mean new girlfriend! I got to spend time with my godson Isaac who could be the coolest, cutest kid on the planet. That is till my child is born!!!

Anyways, as always happens when spending time with these people we end up laughing a lot! I mean fall down laughter...side splitting laughter. So here is a site that we had way to much fun with that now you too can enjoy!
