For the last 4 years, I’ve spent the last week of January eagerly anticipating my annual jaunt and spiritual journey to Nashville to meet with a bunch of creatives at the conference, RECREATE. It’s a four day wonderment of meetings and talks combined with fellowship and experiences that are only found together in these days. [...]

Community–Why Bother?
June 3rd, 2011
Comments Off
Today’s blog post is from my friend, Chris Vacher, who lives and serves in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada at Orangeville Baptist Church. He regularly blogs at ChrisfromCanada.com which came from the RECREATE CONFERENCE that I attend and you regularly have to say, “Hi, I’m _____ from ____” and Chris said “I’m Chris from Canada” enough that [...]

Ta da! The self-imposed BLOGGATICAL is over. I haven’t posted since November and to some of you that will not be a surprise since you stopped looking at this blog a long time ago. Truth be told I’ve been blogging, just not online–in my journals and in my head and believe me there were [...]
EAT, PRAY, LOVE–Three Ingredients of Biblical Community
August 31st, 2010

You probably thought this blog post was something about the recent Julia Roberts movie of the same name ( I haven’t seen it, but I’d like to–maybe tonight with my bride). I was thinking this morning as I listened to this sermon about biblical community that the essence of this thing called community can be [...]

It’s time again for our annual VBS–Summer Camp that will take place this week at the Snyder Boy’s And Girls Club. This is our 5th time to do it ( I guess must mean I’m starting my 6th year here!) We move everything over there for an evening of teaching, games and crafts in order [...]
I SAW YOU CHRISTIAN BROTHER

This is an open letter to a Christian brother here in my town (he’ll probably never see it) Dear Brother: As the morning light was breaking over our town and I was heading to my church, you passed me with such speed that I thought at first you were some emergency vehichle. When you went [...]
Twitter Connects People

Over on Twitterfriends today I was able to create this diagram of all of my Twitter connections. It’s a really interesting site where you can click on any one of the names and see the connections between people (who tweets with whom and how they are connected through other strong relationships). I thought this diagram [...]
Essentials For Twitter
March 27th, 2009
Comments Off
I’m often asked (believe me–I’m often asked) “What is Twitter? Why do you Twitter?” I’ve pointed to several spots on the web that intro you to Twitter, but this site I found yesterday seemed to be the most comprehensive guide to Twitter that I’ve found. Be prepared- it’s a long post but one worth the [...]
Twitter Will Change Your Life

The front page of MSN today said 11 Cool Twitter Tools and then I saw this blog post and thought that it would be even better (I liked the title) I’ve already found that many of these 8 are true in my life. Twitter has become part of my schedule every day. What about you–how [...]
You Can Even Eat The Dishes

Tonight was a wonderful performance of Willy Wonka Jr. The play combined the best part of the original Willy Wonka Movie and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movies. Mattie was Viloet Beauregard–the bratty girl who loves bubble gum. Her suit even inflated when she was tasting the gum. It was priceless. The kids did [...]
