PAUL JONES: 4 Years and Incarnation
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2012/07/4-years-and-incarnation.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. 4 Years and Incarnation. This past week marks the four year mark of my family's move to Olympia to become the pastor at Reality Church. In some ways our life in Vancouver feels like a lifetime ago, while in other ways the past four years seem to have passed like the blink of an eye. Recently I came across some thoughts I had penned within the first two months of our move. I love the water- Capitol Lake, Budd Inlet, Percival Landing, the bubbling fountain. I love it all. She̵...

PAUL JONES: October 2011
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. Ever since REALITY moved into our new location almost 3 years ago (and our sign became a bit more prominent in downtown Olympia), I have heard a variety of people's reaction to it. Generally speaking, it is never good. I have had many kind souls offer me a educational seminar on the historical facts of the crucifixion- that the Romans nailed people to the cross through the wrist and not the hand. I have had people call it the "creepy hand" and blog. Thursday, October 27, 2011.

PAUL JONES: June 2012
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 5, 2012. A Response to Westboro Coming to Olympia. The following quote is a joint statement from several Thurston County pastors in response to the upcoming arrival of Westboro "Baptist Church" to our area this week. I'm saddened that we as pastors even have to make declarations like this, but I am thrilled with the unity that has developed among our local church community that allows us to speak with a common voice. June 4, 2012. 2 Peter 3:9: “He [God] is patient with you, not wantin...

PAUL JONES: June 2008
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. By far, though, the highlight of the 2 day trip was Thursday night. the first official service of the church where I was able to share a bit of my story and answer questions from people in the church. It's really hard for me to put into words what all I was feeling that night. How do you explain the culmination of so much prayer, discussion, and waiting? Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Changes, Moves, and Transitions. As of a week ago, I am now the new pastor of a church named Reality up ...

PAUL JONES: Crowded House - A Peak at the Church Gathered and Scatted
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2012/06/crowded-house-peak-at-church-gathered.html
Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Crowded House - A Peak at the Church Gathered and Scatted. Sometimes a video helps bring clarity to the terms we discuss and banter about. gospel communities, missional living, etc. If you have ever read Total Church. By Steve Timmis and Tim Chester, this is a short look into the life of their church family in England. I absolutely love the clarity that is paired with simplicity. Life in The Crowded House.

PAUL JONES: January 2012

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. A helpful thought from Eugene Peterson in Working the Angles:. Monday, January 30, 2012. A Great Read on Marriage. Over the past 12 years of marriage, Callie and I have occasionally selected a book to read out loud together to help foster deeper learning, discussion, and connection in our marriage. And while the book itself often isn't the most important element (because anything that sparks good dialogue in marriage is a win), in this case, we landed on a real treasure.

PAUL JONES: September 2008
http://pauljjones.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Backpacks for the Kingdom. Over the past few months of getting settled into a new church and new city, I have been praying for our church to find meaningful ways to live the gospel in Olympia. Shortly into my time here, I started getting to know an organization called the YC. Youth Connection) which is only a few blocks east of our location. This past Sunday marked the last church service of the month and the pile has now grown! 160;I'm so thrilled with the response that we...
