hello?
Do you ever get behind in something - So far that you almost think it would be easier to give up altogether? Well that's this blog for me. I got busy with life - good thing, not bad. And now I haven't done much with it at all. So... Fresh start. Eveyone can go back to not paying attention ;)

The worst foods to eat over a keyboard
Should Coke not be on this list? Or how about a "double double" coffee?

Emergent thoughts?
The more I read about this "emergent" idea... it's amaizing to see the variety of ideas out there.
Christdot :: Christ. Period.: "grrrendel writes 'Instead of creating fresh new ways to bring the Gospel into the culture, Mr. McLaren and associates are trying to bring the culture into the Gospel—if they retain the Gospel at all. What could have been an awesome reawakening of historic Christianity will, if left in these unfaithful hands, be a Trojan horse for liberalism in the evangelical community.'"

What's on Jesus' iPod?
I love this sort of thing. It's even better than the WWJD.... some where I heard a guy that wrote a book about what kind of car Jesus would drive........ I digress.
"You know he has one. You know it's the big 60GB model, loaded, flawless and gleaming and radiating a strange liquid ethereal glow and couched in a beautiful custom rainbow-colored biodegradable case made of clouds and eagle feathers and wine.
What's on it is, after all, a pertinent query. It is the modern-day personality test. Your iPod's contents are now considered more revealing than your porn collection or your prescription drug addiction. Jesus is a monster music fan. You just know it. After all, Jesus was an agitator. Jesus protested. Jesus battled the demons of the status quo and he defied the sad dictatorial norms of his day and as such the Holy iPod is surely home to a huge number of songs of protest and resistance and hope, rebellion and triumph and joy. Just for starters." Christdot
What's in a name
There have been many thoughts on what this new church falls under... you know "emergent", "post modern" etc. But more and more it's interesting to see how some churches in general are changing their actual names to avoid being grouped with others.

"A certain type of subculture is associated with Baptists. We could spend all our time explaining, 'No, we're not that type of Baptist.' Or, we could change our name."

When God lines things up..... wow!
So my cousin Greg got married on the weekend, and during the usual wait between ceremony and reception Sharon and I were invited to my sister-in-law's house to kill the time. Also invited was a common friend Sarah. She was on her own because both her husband and my brother were in the wedding party.
Any how, we had a great time sitting around and talking about life, and as usual I ended talking about the "Gig". I spent some time talking about how I see that things will happen, how we will get involved with the community and ideas on the venue side of things. (Wow, do I ever like to steal Rob's language at times) I mentioned that the one person that we really need to find is a venue guy...someone that can run things there, which is a creative promo guy and can book events. Sarah's eyes were really big. She went on to explain that Marty, her husband, and she have really felt called to Kitchener. They didn't know why... no family, I am the only friend they have there, but God had really been talking to them each time they are there or drove past.
the short story on Marty is that he is this genius of a promotions guy and back in the day we put on some fun concerts and air bands. We both went into radio at the same time and he still is working there as the promotions director of the Fan 590 but he's tired of that. I want him to meet Rob and talk about it in depth.... but he seemed excited just about the idea.
It is so cool to see God as the architect on this whole thing
