Well..

it's been a long time since a post. And with good reason. Between finishing up moving into our house, starting a new job, finals, graduation, and having a baby I have free time now.

kinda. I guess... a little. suprisingly after you graduate you don't have all the time in the world like one would think. It's annoyingly busy.

College football has come and gone. College basketball is getting to conference play soon. The NFL is winding down w/ just conference finals left to play. I'm always a little sad the day after the BCS National Championship game. Even last year when I was cheering for Texas (one time thing) as they won the national championship game, I was sad afterwards. Just kinda stinks. I mean the NFL playoffs are still there. And I love college hoops, but it really just isn't the same as football. Jay would disagree, but he's a Duke fan (horrible at football and the Notre Dame of BBall).

Which leads me the fact that, I need to start reading again. During college I haven't hardly read anything due to my schedule the entire time. I had thought upon graduation, I would jump right into it but the kid didn't share my sentiments. Upon recommendation of my pastor I've picked up Master Plan of Evangelism. Great read. Very simplistic, biblical approach to Jesus' practice of reaching the masses. The idea is that Christ did not try to hold trendy attractive large services that brought in the masses, but instead took a group of 12 imperfect men and invested in their lives, and encouraged them to do the same after they were equipped. By developing them as indivdual's he brought up 12 (well 11) godly men that were ready to go into ministry. I'm not sure if the idea of reaching the masses w/ shallow sermons was an American invention or just something that developed. I'm pretty sure it was around way before our modern day church got ahold of the idea. I'd be interested to find out where it came from though. If you have a chance pick it up.

I guess that's all for now.

Myles,

New post, or no? Hey, why don't you write a post on why your new religious view is "Reformed/Charismatic."

Did Chandler have anything to do with that? Grudem? White (Bleezy, that is)?

Go on Myles. This is what blogging is for. I'm interested and open.

Why are you "Reformed" and why are you "Charismatic?"

Peace.

Myles,

I've waited almost a week for you to reply or at least write a new post on something. . .anything.

I guess that means you are not all that serious about creating a blog? You're starting to act like Slade.

Peace.
