The writings of a mid-20s man trying to live out the teachings of Jesus as a husband, Youth Director and follower of Christ in the midst of an ever changing, challenging, and chaotic world. Monday, April 26, 2010. Brian McLaren @ LaSalle Street Church. Teetselberry, eat your heart out. We bring baggage and bias to the text! Monday, April 26, 2010. April 28, 2010 at 3:21 PM. Teetselberry here. And proud to have nagged Devin into this post. Very proud. McLaren is nothing if not tantalizingly unorthodox.

.Keep Your Eyes Open.: April 2008

http://jordanleahy.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Keep Your Eyes Open. April 23, 2008. Last night I was reminded of the things I gave up to do Mission Year. I had sort of been saying and thinking that it wasn't a big deal and that being where I'm supposed to be is enough. It hurts so much to deny the things that you want and love. I remembered that the reason I gave these things up is so I can have the best opportunity possible to directly share the love of Jesus with others. I was encouraged to see the hand of God in my life. He is so good. It was and ...

Keep Your Eyes Open. October 8, 2007. The Sin of Sodom/Ezekiel 16:49-50. According to Ezekiel 16:49, Sodom also failed to help the poor and needy. This can also be viewed in a national sense, but I think it applies better to the church. Unfortunately in this matter the two can be linked rather closely. Christians in the U.S. are notorious for focusing on "moral" issues like abortion and homosexual (lack of) rights to marriage, while virtually ignoring social issues and the poor. The Bible says that one w...

Keep Your Eyes Open. September 23, 2006. The music industry makes music for people who don't like music.". Ian Mackaye of Dischord Records. I've been thinking a lot lately about the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) lifestyle. I realize more and more that it's something I really support and believe in. The D.I.Y. lifestyle is deeply rooted in music. I'm beginning to believe more everyday that music produced by the mainstream does not qualify as being worthwhile. Making music has nothing to do with what you wear or...

Keep Your Eyes Open. March 27, 2008. I want to tell you about my friend Greg. Greg stays in our overnight shelter at Breakthrough. He's got to be one of my favorite people. He's always smiling, always willing and ready to joke and laugh, and he gets stuff done. He does his daily assigned chores without complaining (a rare and much appreciated trait). If he's got a problem, he asks about it rather than getting in my face and complaining. It seems like nothing gets Greg down. Posted by Jordan @ 12:02 PM.

http://jordanleahy.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Keep Your Eyes Open. July 25, 2008. Posted by Jordan @ 12:33 PM. Today I got a note from one of the women at work. It said "Thank You! On the outside. When you open it up it says "For being my friend.". It probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is. People make changing the world out to be this huge thing where you do all this stuff that people see. It's not a huge thing. It's a way of life, a day-to-day thing. Posted by Jordan @ 12:11 PM. July 18, 2008. Guilty of being white. That's hard to chew on.

Keep Your Eyes Open. May 21, 2008. Tandy was one of my boys. He'd moved out of Breakthrough and was struggling a bit. He stopped into the day center from time to time and was in the process of getting by in here. This past Monday morning I got a text message from Rusty at around 9 o'clock that informed me that Tandy had died in his room over the weekend. That was it. I don't remember the last time I talked to him, but it was just that. The last time. Posted by Jordan @ 8:01 PM. May 20, 2008. A Brief Look...
