One of the highlights of my week is meeting on Thursday mornings with a group of new believers. Last week, Bill had a message on his heart. So I had him preach it to 4 of us in the chapel of the Memorial Union. It was amazing. Click here for more on that.
Notice the curtain that you can pull over the cross if it offends you. Welcome to Iowa State University.
It wasn't that great, so I won't bore you with all four points. But I thought the opening story (via youtube) was a good contrast of two guys- one who missed it, the other got it.
Have you ever seen this on a t-shirt? Sillyness, right?
Well, not for Michael Jordan. Start watching his closing remarks at about 7:53...
Then you have a guy building his house on a rock... start at about 1:53 to hear his words to his family and then skip to the end around 6:40.
What a contrast. Just when you thought Jordan was going to close his speech by thanking people and, perhaps God, he goes off on how much the game of basketball has been there for him.
That's a great way to miss the point of life: live life for _______ (insert "sports" or anything else that doesn't matter for eternity)
Here are some pics from church history class. We went to Des Moines and visited the Greek Orthodox church.
Somehow putting the first letter of their name on a pancake (here with peanut butter), makes all the difference.
Tonight I finished "Oliver Twist" (illustrated classics) with the kids. Makai was noticeably quiet in the other room.

I thought your talk was great actually... I especially appreciated learning that Nicodemus helped bury Jesus in the end, something I hadn't noticed before. And I loved your explanation of 3:8 with the illustration of a tree blowing in the wind. Thanks for teaching me!
I couldn't be happier to see Makai's craft project! So nice to know that my kids aren't the only ones that get into things they shouldn't without asking permission, and make a mess! Such a delight to see that!!! I needed that pick me up after eggs getting cracked all over the kitchen, crayon on the fridge, chocolate syrup squirted down the hallway, all while mom was putting a load of laundry in the wash!
Your washer reminds me of Abraham Piper's blog about appliances: http://twentytwowords.com/2009/10/21/unstylish-appliances/
Stainless Steel is just the new Golden Harvest
Thanks for the pb pancake tip. Looks way easier than Mickey Mouse/random animal shaped ones... not that I'm looking to lose my job as our home's pancake artist.
