Those of you who know me face to face know that I am not fond of working out. Frankly, the idea of moving weights back and forth with no real outcome is absurd to me. I know some people get a thrill out of it and that’s fine. I just don’t. Today, I got one…
I ave been reading and re-reading Contemplative Youth Ministry by Mark Yaconelli. It has some great things to say, and I have been wondering if it is actually possible to have a youth ministry do some of the things he talks about. His site The Youth Ministry and Spirituality Project talks about the practices for…
Continuing with yesterday’s theme of music. Check out this new electric guitar. I so want one.  1 1
Last night I attended my first Ash Wednesday. It was not much what I expected. I guess I was thinking it would be a lot more ritualistic. I had a picture of me on my knees, hands folded prayerfully, tears in my eyes, looking up while someone gently reached down and rubbed ashes on my…
Today I will be going to me first Ash Wednesday service. I have to admit, I am a little embarrassed that I have never been to one before now. I have no idea what I am getting into, but I am really excited about the experience. According to Wikipedia: At Masses and services of worship…

I think this is the best idea I have heard on worship – maybe ever. Brian McLaren talks about the consumeristic bent of worship and where it is heading. I happened to be at St. Peters church this last week and also heard a great sermon on worship. It just seems that God has a…
I have been really itching to make music again and, since I got the new iMac, I have been playing around with some ideas in Garageband. Here is my first effort. Make a Joyful Noise  1 1
Today I got some Apple goodness. This is my new studio set up (not yet finished). As you can see, the 20 inch iMac is almost the centerpiece. Also of note, the Line6 Toneport, the Korg K49, the NHT near field monitors. Behind the iMac, is a present I got from Johnny. It is very…
