Innovate Church Conference

One thing I love about LU:


We woke up one morning in April and this picture was outside our door. Someone used chalk graffiti to inspire others to release tension and anxiety in the most stress-filled time in the year. Seriously? Brilliant! Creative justice at work in the hands of a college student. We could change the world.

Another I love, today I'm at Innovate Church Conference at TRBC and I'm getting to hear Francis Chan! If I could take more time off work today I'd hear Ed Stetzer too, but most likely he'll tweet most of what he's going to say anyway.

Both positive and negative, Lynchburg, VA is a spiritual incubator. For now, it's positive.

It's Been Awhile, This is Fitting

While trying to come up with a good reason why we haven't posted on our blog since March, I came across this video from Brian McLaren through another blogger:



This video reminds me of 3 things:
1. I remember when a girl at Greenfield told me that God sending Jesus to die for our sins sounded like child abuse. I had no answer.
2. I cannot wait to see my nephews next week in Kentucky for our family camping trip. Little boys like this are cute, no matter what.
3. Our God is greatly mysterious and in that mysteriousness He is good. Zapping or not.
