addendum to my post below
If you look at the CBE post comments about the SBC “homemaking” classes, you will see that the cost of that program is over 60k for non Southern Baptists (abt. half that if you’re SBC). So let’s examine this: A woman acquires $35 thousand of debt to learn how to be a good pastor’s wife, complete with [...]
sometimes if I don’t laugh I’ll cry
*sigh* Just when I have a surge of hope that Christians in American are “getting it” in the area of gender justice I read something like thisand all I can do is laugh…because if I don’t I’ll cry with despair. (HT CBE) It’s no wonder Jimmy Carter had to publicly separate himself from the SBC. Here’s a taste [...]
the mystery of prayer: synchroblog
As I’ve mentioned several times here, I grew up in the charismatic/pentecostal tradition. One of the wonderful things about that tradition is that I KNEW that God heard me, spoke to me and was present and involved in my life. I do not recall ever doubting that beyond blips here and there.

Mine is coming, honestly. I have to go pick up Shayel from school and then I’ll put my thoughts to the keys and you’ll have my contribution this evening (Mountain Time).

A core couple in Revolution is leaving us in December - they’re moving to Denver for very good reasons and even though we fully [...]
Missio Breviary
Just a quick note of promotion for the Breviary being put out by Missio Dei - They need some buzz and I think some of you would really love these morning/evening prayers and readings. I’m excited about it myself - esp. for the book Go to thebreviary.com and sign up for the feed that [...]
God’s Warriors
If you haven’t heard about this, it’s worth a watch. We caught the last half of the Christian warriors episode last night and we dvr’d the encore so we can watch the whole thing with Revolution. It was disturbing, insightful and had moments of hopefulness for Christianity. I’m very interested to see the other two.
