Good thing Nebraska keeps winning, all the rest of my sports teams have fallen a part.
I’ll continue the leadership series later next week, because my next post marks a pretty special landmark for any blogger.
Blogs
- Good info on the value of spreading your message online.
- Beyond poignant for where I find my church family right now. “How to Guide a Team Through Conflict” from Don Miller.
- Loved this talk from Craig Groeschel at Catalyst last week on generational gap tension. Absolutely spot on and it applies greatly to my church right now as well.
- Is your city listed as one of the most unchurched cities? Good reminder of why Portland is still a mission field.
- Patriotism and Idolatry.
News
- Interesting debate between the Hitchens brothers on whether we can survive without God.
- Americans’ views of God directly shape their opinions on key issues.
- This Iphone 4 looks pretty sweet, but I doubt you want to buy it for $8 million.
- Starbucks will now be making your drink SLOWER. Doesn’t sound like they want the quality to go up, they just want you to think that more care went into making the drink. I think they missed the point.
- For my fellow youth workers out there:
Beautiful and sunny this weekend in Portland. Hope yours is wonderful as well.
