500' Flyby: December 2010
http://500flyby.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. So Christmas 2010 has come and gone. As I return to the normal activities everyone has the same question."How was your Christmas"? 8221; lies more in the interactions with family and relatives, the gift buying and giving, food planning and preparation, getting to all of the obligatory parties/get-togethers, and trying to capture/experience that elusive, warm, inner glow known as the “Christmas spirit”. I suppose this is where I feel bad for I have inf...

44 Hours: Part 2. 44 Hours: Part 1. View my complete profile. Sunday, November 10, 2013. 44 Hours: Part 2. As I let that soak in I was washed over by the euphoria of all of the hours I had before me with no particular expectations, no lists to check off, nothing to attend to but to present myself to my Lord and to the present as an end in itself. It was euphoric, almost giddy, in effect. For that time coming when it will be freed from it's bondage to decay. Links to this post. Saturday, November 9, 2013.

Sojourners = House Church (part 2). Sojourners = House Church (part 1). View my complete profile. Sunday, February 3, 2013. Sojourners = House Church (part 2). Perhaps it is best to continue by giving a disclosure. I am a consumer-focused addict. It must be understood that any writing I do on this subject comes from one who is at best. How am I doing? Am I getting anything from this? Were my needs met tonight? OK, just what are we to do? But as mentioned in (part 1), this type of effort is so inconvenien...

Wash, rinse, repeat. View my complete profile. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Wash, rinse, repeat. So it is again that time of the year when, at least for all of us in sales-related occupations, all the numbers flip back to zero. Twelve months of brand new, quota-achieving challenges lay ahead, with the invisible twists and turns still yet to be revealed. So not just a new year but a new decade! One thing I want to be more deliberate about is a certain type of mental/spiritual hygiene. Hygiene is perhaps ...

Day of the Heart. View my complete profile. Saturday, February 14, 2009. Day of the Heart. Valentine's day.as a man, this Hallmark creation has always brought with it a bit of tension/apprehension for me. Somehow, at a very early age, I got the message (that I believe persists to this day) that this is mostly about men delivering a respectable showing of love and affection to their ladies and not vice versa. At least that is how Madison Avenue's messages have conditioned me. And he said,. Obedience came ...

View my complete profile. Sunday, November 7, 2010. Clickthe sound of hitting the letter C on the keyboard. Seems like a good place to start after such a long absence. For a guy who says he finds joy and release in writing I sure don't write much. What's that about? A word that seems to be currently overused in daily conversations. It's so curious.where do such language nuances find their start? How do they grab hold and go so "viral". And when will the word. Finally find it's way back out to pasture?

One now after another. View my complete profile. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. One now after another. I get to blog a bit. A scene from Chariots of Fire comes to mind when Eric Liddell shares that when he runs he feels "the pleasure of God". I know something of that when I express through the written word. So yea, I get to blog. But for me, the special thing that Father has recently been bringing me to is in part special for. Bam, that was for me.it was me, it nailed me! Surrender brings freedom and dependenc...

500' Flyby: October 2012
http://500flyby.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Friday, October 19, 2012. As a backdrop you just have to be playing a scene from Caddyshack.Chevy Chase in a golf match on a day when nothing could go wrong. There he was putting from every conceivable angle with crazy antics and all the balls find their way into the cup. And you have to hear him saying "Na,na, na, na.na,na, na na.". But as the day proceeds boo-freakin-yah! Ka-ching for a drought- filled cash register. Oh most merciful God! Boy, I wish I could bottle such circum...

Home Church.more stuff. View my complete profile. Monday, June 11, 2012. Home Church.more stuff. It seems good to continue exploring a couple of things that have come across my radar during this quiet, waiting period. On one hand it seems the height of hubris to write about something that I have yet to embark upon. On the other hand, holding up items to the light and naming them helps me bring greater clarity to this amorphous thing we are calling home church (HC for want of a better name). The Anabaptis...
