Ecclesia, Africa and Best Western Breakfasts
I’m sitting in the Best Western in Richmond, VA at the continental breakfast bar area. It’s been about 7 minutes since I had one of their breakfast sandwiches and things are already getting interesting in my stomach… but I guess that’s a story for another time…
I’m here with Tom Ward of East Point Community Church in Deleware and George Palo of Harvest City Church in Ndola, Zambia. We’re meeting with some guys from our network, Ecclesia …

The Natural
Most of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that Cole and I play baseball together almost everyday. While we were home in Chicago visiting my parents we actually went out and bought a wiffle ball and bat so we could play a bit in the back yard.
Here’s some footage:

At Wrigley Field with Cole
I’m writing this from Wrigley Field in Chicago. I came down with my brother, my dad and Cole. This is cole’s first time here and I’m not quote sure he gets how great this place is. I think in due time he’ll realize it, but today he was just excited to see Soriano play and by the 5th inning I think he was ready to go home.
I’ve been to a bunch of games here, too many to count. …

Comments are Back
For some reason my comments weren’t working the last two days. Someone finally brought it to my attention so now I realize that you all don’t hate me.
Phew.

ESPN.com Editing Blunder…
As you can see from the image below that I grabbed off of the internet someone at ESPN was so excited to get the story of Michael Phelps’ 8th gold medal on the web that they made a boo boo. Every week I do the bulletins for the church and almost every week there is a misspelling of some sort. Now I feel better.

65 miles a gallon baby.
This is my “new” 1979 Yamaha xs400.
Its not going to win any races or awards but it runs great, has 10,000 miles and they notoriously run forever. Now i have to learn how to maintain it. Time to get my hands all greasy.
Yes, I will wear my helmet every time I ride.
Yes, I am taking the free motorcycle safety course.
No, I won’t do any wheelies. (It won’t!)
No, its not …Celebrating Adoptions Family Photos
Last night we had a family photo shoot. It turns out there is a group out there called Celebrating Adoption that helps adoptive families get a free photoshoot and pictures from a professional photographer within the first year that the child is home. Its really a great program and the photographer we connected with was awesome. Angela Pursell did a great job interacting with the kids and taking some amazing shots. She has posted a few …
Update on the Poverty Forum, Missions Trip, Anniversaries, The Well
So, I’ve had a few crazy weeks and blogging has been on the way back burner as far as priorities go. I need a short break from working on my sermon so here we go… This will serve as a summary and update of my last two weeks.
Mission Trip To Suburbia
I posted recently about our week long missions trip to suburbia. We basically spent the week serving in Lower Bucks County. We worked with different housing groups …Suburbia Conference with Al Hsu This Weekend…
I’ve been working overtime getting ready for what promises to be a great weekend with Al Hsu. We’ve had a lot of registrations and I’m excited by all the people who will be coming that I don’t know. Should be a great time of connecting with some other Christians who are from the area and even from out of town.
There are still some tickets available. Hope to see you there…
Why Do We Hate The Homeless?
For the last year or so we’ve had about 15 people going down to Love Park in Center City Philadelphia to serve, get to know and bring food to the homeless population that lives there. It’s been a very neat ministry and I’m pretty sure that these are the kind of people that Jesus would be reaching out to. But, over the last year or so I’ve begun to think that this kind of thing is what “any normal person …
Interview with Al Hsu
Blogging time is hard to come by these days. Life has been crazy with the Zambia trip, our local missions trip, our poverty forum a weekend away camping and the upcoming Seminar with Al Hsu. With all of this, I have plenty to say but no time to say it. So, hopefully before too long I’ll find some time to sit down and do some writing…
But, I am getting really excited about our upcoming conference with Al Hsu this …
Apparently I am now friends with myself on facebook. I live in Canada too eh.
