Our plane leaves a little later than we planned so I have time for one more blog post. Lucky me.
I was thinking yesterday as we were having a prayer time for our team that is heading to New Orleans that one does not have to “do mission.” I pray that those in our [...]
I am off to Grenta, LA with 12 other people from our church to serve in the relief efforts for the next 8 days.
Keep us in prayer if you think about it…
So, no blogging from me for a week. Enjoy the silence…

LIke I mentioned last week in my fancy new “asides” section, I headed down for a three hour trek to Washington DC to hear NT Wright lecture on his new book, [...]
I added a new book to my reading list. It is called “The Missional Leader” written by Alan Roxburgh and Fred Romanuk. This book is basically the outline for the consulting I am part of at Biblical Theological Seminary. I’ll probably be blogging some thoughts on it here or at meremission.

Just like our artists, [...]
NT Wright is speaking at The Washington National Cathedral on May 16th. The topic is his new book, Simply Christian. I’ll be going down I think…
I’m not usually one for recycling old posts, but I was looking through my blog archives and came across this. I think its an important topic and wanted to share it again…
Fact is, criticism is pretty easy to give. Its also a fact that criticism isn’t easy to take.
Being a pastor and…well…a [...]
The last two weeks we have been talking about healing at The Well from John chapter 5. It’s been a fun two weeks as I looked at the more personal side of the healing passage and Gary looked at the theological side of the topic. You can listen to our two messages off [...]
What do you think of the new layout? I still have some work to do in the other pages of the site. But the front page and posts should be all set. I actually built this one by hand from scratch (the last one was based off of someone else’s work. Any [...]
I’d like to officially acknowledge that Jim Renaud is my hero. Not only is he the inspiration to my life, but he has a kickin’ moustache.
Last monday 20 of us hit up NYC for the Letterman show (it airs on Friday Night) and we ran into a few people you might know. Tom Hanks, Kanye West, Rupert (from Hello Deli) and KT Tunstall. Vince Vaughn was the guest on the show.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the world were run by robots? Of course, the outcome would really depend on who made the robots. I think if they were made by Microsoft we would all be in trouble. Then again, if they started getting out of control we could just wait till [...]
I love my job. I am not sure how many people in this world can honest say that.
Support Invisible Children.

1. We met at The Well and there were about 25 people from [...]
