Adventures of Timmy

About a year ago or so I started telling my children a bed time story which we called “Timmy”. This story was on-going, and built upon each night, and lasted a couple months.
They loved it so much that I thought maybe I should write it out and see what others thought. And where [...]

The Path of Heresy…er, Reformation

Paths are often marked so that one knows if he is indeed on it. Evidently the path to heresy has been marked this way.
Mark 1 - Challenges established teachings.
Mark 2 - Challenges are then circulated through the means of letters, books, brochures, e-mail and blogs (stay away from these!).
Mark 3 - Church council is [...]

"You Must Be Born Again"

I believe this Sunday that I will be speaking out of John 3 and focusing on Jesus & Nicodimous’ powerful conversation about a relationship with the Father.
I believe that this conversation has been so emphasized and preached that the true beauty and message of this conversation has been lost.
The exchange between Nic and Jesus about [...]

I just got Donald Miller’s newest book today. I had listened to him preach at Mars Hill the night before and was blown away by his message “God is Fathering Us”. So, imagine my excitment to find it as a chapter in this book!
I’m looking forward to this book. I love my [...]

Tim: Update

Just got done talkin to Tim. He said they are in the process of discharging him. He’s pretty pumped about that. He was feeling a lot better this morning, and got some rest last night. Continue to pray for him.

rebooting sojourner

I was looking at other skins for my blog tonight when I pressed “use this template” which apparently permanently switched my skin…which meant that all my links were lost.
Bleh.
So, I have spent the last couple hours getting things to look and feel right. If a link doesn’t work, let me know.

Tim will be coming home some time tomorrow

“tomorrow” meaning Wednesday.
He was still having some pain and they still wanted to monitor his heart, etc. So as hopeful as he and Kyla were that he would be coming home today, it will be Wednesday.
Keep him in your prayers.

Pray for Tim

For those of you who know Tim McMillion, I’d ask for prayer. Tim is having heart surgery tomorrow (Monday) morning at 8am at UofM’s hospital (at least he picked a cool place to do it!).
I’ll update this when I get back. And I will be calling Carrina when he is done to let [...]

Steve has a blog I frequent almost daily (Reformissionary). On Friday’s (Phriday) he posts one of his photos (once you see it, and others, you’ll realize how friggin amazing he is with a camera). I loved this past Friday’s

Drawing: While I was waiting for Tim

A couple weeks ago I was waiting for Tim at the Gateway in Vanderbilt so I started sketching on the placemat. This is what I came up with, a rather grim looking He-Man…
