Answers (Part 3)

Continuing to answer Julie's questions.

49. books I wish I had read
so many, so very many, but here's one specifically...
I really want to read this book. You can read the first chapter on his website.

Accumulation (Part 2)

Wow!
I got a lot of responses of people begging me not relinquish my precious treasures.
Just so you know, some of that post was a little tongue in cheek...

However I do want to be the person who could easily walk away from what I hold as value. I love the story of Elisha as he chooses to follow Elijah, and how he slaughters his flock and leaves nothing behind.

I want to be that.

But be assured that the comics, and cards, and CDs (good and bad), and books are all safe and sound.

Oh one last thing...

In the ninth grade I refused to date a girl because she had longer arm hair than me. [Later I came to realize everyone has longer arm hair than me, I like the bald man of arm hair.] Seriously I wouldn't let a girl force me to get rid of "my precious-s-s-s".

Well...maybe...

Atonement

Here's a recent clip from ER.


What hope do you have to offer someone dying and seeking atonement. Do we know a real God who provides real answers?

How would you have answered this man?

Two Great Sermons

I listened to two amazing sermons today.
First Mark Moore's
The centrifugal Nature of Jesus' commands.
Mark is a professor at Ozark Christian College, and is a brilliant communicator and theologian. You should check out his website for further sermons or class lectures.
This sermon is about the call of missions and the centrality of Christ in your life.

Second Jon Weece's
Ready to Surrender
Jon is the senior minister at Southland Christian Church in Lexington, KY. Currently he is in a series entitle coming up to BREATHE. The previous week Mike Breaux (formerly of Southland and Willow Creek) taught on being broken. Jon continues with the idea of once we are broken we must surrender.

If you got a moment take a listen.

"Holy Space"

This one really made me laugh.

A Call To Singularity

A former professor of mine, Mark Moore (a dynamic speaker and thinker), posted this blog post back on Valentine's Day. If you're interested he occasionally post on his John 3:30 blog about the challenge of self-abnegation.
If you are single (living the "good life") this is worth the read.

And while I appreciate his calling for others to send a card or chocolates to a single for encouragement, I don't agree with that. Just annoying really.

BUT the rest is excellent. About the value of the single life. The chance for single-minded devotion is an opportunity for the high calling of life.

Question

I asked this question on Sunday.

What is the breakfast equivalent to chips and salsa?

You know when you go to a restaurant and they either have chips and salsa for you or you order some before the meal. But what do you do when it's still breakfast time.

Here are answers we came up with:
- french toast sticks and syrup
- some crepe-ish item with a jam (Deuce you'll have to fully describe it for everyone else again)
- biscuits

None of those fully replace the chip and salsa, but maybe you have a better idea. Please share...
