U2 3D…

Date February 29, 2008

For our date night yesterday we went to see U2 3D. It was great to be able to do nothing else for 80 minutes but appreciate their music (that and watch four sweaty old men prance no stage).
I’m glad they played some of their older stuff, but they’ve just got too many good tunes [...]

A Better Blog?

Silent Sermon

Date February 21, 2008

(Original photo here)
I’ve posted many times questioning the effectiveness of preaching before, however this past Sunday was definitely an example of working more creatively, not harder, while creating a deeply meaningful experience.
I’ve been wanting to experiment with this for quite a while now, and with my voice blown from speaking the night before, this was [...]

Date February 20, 2008

Best quote I’ve heard recently,
An Anglican Priest tells a group of us:  “I’m totally suspicious of the church, and I work for the stupid thing.”

Hunger Banquet

Date February 18, 2008

This past Saturday a team of us from two churches organized a Global Awareness Banquet.
The banquet is a dramatization of the inequity that perpetuates poverty in the world. Guests are randomly assigned according to the realities that divide us today 15% rich, 30% middle class, and 55% poor on a global level.
The rich were [...]

Sick & Busy…

Date February 14, 2008

Our entire family has been sick in some way the past three weeks. We seem to be passing it back and for to each other. Although it does seem that quite a number of people I know happen to also be sick for an inordinate amount of time this year. (I’ve been [...]

Beincarnation

Date February 8, 2008

Do you believe in Beincarnation?
I heard this creative term a number of years ago and it’s never left me.
Similar to my post on tantric preaching, beincarnation co-opts another traditionally ‘Eastern’ term - Reincarnation. I’ll assume that’s okay since Jesus was an eastern teacher…
Reincarnation is driven by the cosmic judgment of your deeds in [...]

Gospel according to Hugh Hefner…

Date February 7, 2008

I was flipping through an Esquire magazine at the library and saw this interview with Hugh Hefner on what He’s learned in life.
He states:
Everybody, if they’ve got their head on straight, wants to be a sexual object, among other things. They want to be attractive. Otherwise, what a sad and pathetic life. To really live [...]
