Run

After six years you would think that I'd be accoustomed to the annual "Courseton". Nope! This year we were under cloudy skies and intermittent rain.

Nevertheless the show went on.

Our son, who is in his last year of primary school, was with the in the first group to start running. 21 minutes! He covered a distance of 4,200 meters. That's 2.6 miles. The best runner in the class ran 5,000 meters or 3.1 miles!

Our youngest started 6 minutes later. She covered 2,400 meters or 1.5 miles. Not too bad.

Way to go you two...

 

Blogs and spiritual formation

When I started blogging back in September of 2002, eh oui, it has been that long... I wanted to talk about the emerging church. Looking back I realize that what really interested me was how we live out the life that Christ has given us. The fortuitous crossing of paths with Bobbie in the blogoshpere, opened a whole new world, blogging as an expression of devotion and growth.

Recently I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a community of God's people, what makes it different. Last Sunday I preached asking the question, "What's going on with your soul?" Connecting with God, with each other and ourselves is a fundamental of who we are. And these connections need to go deep.

As I start a new day here in Grenoble, France, I realize that God is using the relationship that are connected across the Internet to develop Christ's image in me.

What do you get for $100?

Boom, there it all went. Right out of the pump and into the gas tank of our car.

$100 dollars worth.
