I have now been blogging for 2 years. Sometime this week, I can’t remember the day, I passed the 2 year mark. This blog hasn’t been alive that long because I started on Blogger and later moved to this format, but 2 years does feel like a long time.
If you have a spare 10 minutes, take some time to read through the 90 and counting comments from my post on Tuesday. Apparently I struck a cord with what I said.
Some really great things to share with you this week. Seems well above average for some reason.
Blogs
- Monday Confessions from Brady Boyd, pastor at New Life Church in Colorado. Raw, authentic…loved this.
- Brian McLaren answers questions on the 3 main areas that people seem to have key issues with him.
- Great video….church history in 4 minutes.
- “Goodness is the process of becoming not of being…” Read the rest.
- Mark Batterson’s definition of success.
- Phenomenal post that totally surprised me (in a good way): “Resisting the irresistible Shane Claiborne.”
News
- Portland doesn’t hate you, Christians. It nothings you (every pastor in Portland needs to read this article, it is a must).
- Texas has released the last words of people before they were executed.
- Newsweek ran a great story on Obama and the limits of charisma. A must read.
- Great Christianity Today article on transcending the worship wars through Christ centered worship.
- If you are a CEO of a large company, the good news is that your company’s stock price can tank and you can still retire with way too much money….ugh.
October is a great month to be a sports fan. Go Huskers, Vikings, and Twins.

“Go Huskers, Vikings and Twins” … and Beavers!
the last words of those prisoners before execution were haunting – it made me cry
tyler: brady’s words are interesting and i’m glad he wrote them. i find it good, healthy that he recognizes his weaknesses in certain areas. nlc lost a lot of people in the last few years, and boyd inherited a bit of baggage, to put it lightly. but i admire him for holding it up and stepping into the role. if all else fails, i don’t doubt God will honor him for that much.
for the newsweek article…i find it interesting it’s taken this long for a person to “second bill mayer’s motion”….who noted obama’s television persona frequency just a few months ago.
interesting stuff…and uh, happy 2 year?
Thanks for the articles link… I love the Oregon nothings you bit.
