For its members, church can be spending an afternoon at a Costa Mesa park, where they share lunch and conversation with the down and out. Sometimes, church for them entails an excursion to Los [...]

Flickr: Photos from Jordon

After reading AKMA‘s enthusiastic posting about Flickr, I decided to wander back to the site to check it out for myself. I was amazed at what was there. Spencer Burke and I have been playing around with it for the last hour and the coolness potential of Flickr is incredible. What an incredible tool.

Jordon Cooper… ignored by most…

Daniel Miller writes in Next-Wave Two long years ago Jordon Cooper wrote a piece for Next-Wave entitled “Blogging: Advice for Church Websites.” At the time blogs, although ancient in the ever-evolving space of the digerati, were relatively new to church culture. While Jordon’s article was aimed at churches, if church websites in 2004 are any [...]

Pagan Christianity: The Origins of Our Modern Church Practices

A book by Frank Viola. Spencer Burke showed it to me while I was in SoCal and I was impressed with it enough that I ordered it from Amazon.com. The book documents about how the church took many of the rituals we hold sacred from pagan sources. I don’t disagree with his research but I [...]

Faithful to God

Actually, I should clarify my post about Charlie Wear and breakfast. It was about not being faithful to some things that God has called me to do. Not a lack of faith in God but then again, they are kind of the same thing…. oh now I am confused. One of the things that I [...]

California Dreamin’

Testing My-Expressions

A couple of people have asked me if I had ever used My-Expressions, a visual blogging system. I had. Spencer Burke used to blog from there and I worked on his blog for him them. I wasn’t really impressed with it but I thought I would give it a free test-drive for a month and [...]

First things first

Yesterday I got a phone call from the bus depot that a package had arrived for me. I went down this morning to find a box with several copies of the brand new, ads-free, taste the goodness Beyond Magazine. Wendy opened them first and her first word was “wow”. Of course I was driving so [...]
