food...it's not fair

So I don't know about you all, but there was a time for me when i could eat anything and as much of anything that I wanted and had little to no negative effects. my metabolism was great. these days not so much. i've been trying to be wise with the foods i eat and the amounts of it that i allow into my body. the truth is i have a pretty typical italian man body that is moving into a later stage of life which basically means it all goes to my stomach. lame! to all this i say...

it's not fair!

enjoy!

Being Missional in Seattle...a conversation with Eugene Cho

Tomorrow CC is hosting Eugene Cho for a conversation on what it means|looks like to be missional in Seattle. He is the pastor of a great Church called Quest.

I know for a while I have felt a great need for the church as a whole to start re.thinking how they/we go about doing church. Moving to the idea of being the church vs. doing church. I will save you from my soapbox for now, but all that to say I'd love your prayers for this conversation to go well. And by well I mean that is simple pushes us all in our thinking and helps us ask some good hard questions about what it means to be the church.

Here is a cool video clip about quest that has Eugene in it.

i've seen it all...

so for the last two months the crew has been great at bringing friends to our happenings. one girl in particular has been so cool. asking lots of great questions, energized, eager to learn, and just great at meeting people. anyways, she asked me an age old question that i get asked all the time. especially now having over 15 years of experience in youth work. the question was about "why do you do what you do" and what i would add to the question that is typical is the word that follows the question. "still" well this video is not only funny, but also true. i have seen all of these and so much more and it is hard to imagine me not doing this kind of work.

i hope this video answers some of the questions and provides you with some laughter!

new U2esday!

so the new u2 album is out if you didn't know! it is very different from other albums, but that is what I love about this band. i think you will find it needs to marinate a bit in your soul as you listen, but in the end you will find some jems.

also if you want to download the album for only $4 then you need to go to AMAZON.COM and hit the "digital download - mp3" section and you can follow the add. I did it already and am currently enjoying!

hope you do too!

peace,
