Moving to Chicago: Jeez Friggin Louise

I hate audio books. Give me a highlighter and a hardback, and I'm golden. Never been a fan of friends and family bringing books to me either.

"You have to read this! It changed my life!"

Seriously, that's great, but have you seen my stack of "books to be read" on my nightstand? Brent Smith, a good friend in my growth group, hadn't. Not only did he offer me another book to read, it was an audio book (There are several different ways you can spell the sound of hurling... insert one here). Even though I wasn't thrilled about listening to John Eldridge's "Walking with God", something in me said I should give it a shot the next day.

Moving to Chicago: On Hold

Not the move itself. Just the story behind it. Actually the story is continuing to unfold, and the current stage is pretty exhausting-slash-overwhelming. I'm excited to put in writing all of the amazing things God has done in the past few months (and is still doing)!! Stay tuned!

Moving to Chicago?!?

Some time soon you may hear that Jamie and I are moving up toward Chicago. 'Tis true. As a friend you may want to have me admitted to an institute, but no need. I'm not crazy, but I have already applied for admission to an institute.

In short, I'm following God with this move. In long... well, check back over the next few days.

The Bickering Church

Tonight my anger has brought me back to this dormant blog of mine. Please excuse me for a moment while I reawaken the right side of my brain (you know, the half they say is responsible for creativity).

Me: WAKE UP ya lazy bum!
Right Side of Brain: Just a few more minutes of sleep!
Me: Come on! Get out of bed! I have something I need you to help me say!
Right Side of Brain: But I'm a brain. I can't talk.
Me: Yeah. Good point.
Right Side of Brain: I'm going back to bed.
Me: Wait a second... now I'm confused...

Looks like I'll have to share my message uncreatively. Let's see...

Hey church: stop bickering!
Hey world: sorry we didn't have time to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with you tonight. We were distracted by really important things like changing our church name and redistributing power.

There. I think that will do.
