I wrote yesterdays blog two weeks ago and today I discovered that John Piper was having some similar thoughts about the economic crisis. These times are good for missions.

Please read John Piper’s Article here, it is short and wonderful.

I have finally decided on a new theme for this blog and I plan on making a few other, deeper changes.  God has shown me a few things that I didn’t realize about myself and after some meditation I plan on changing my life accordingly.  God recently revealed some bitterness to me, it was difficult to see because it wasn’t toward any particular person.

I am taking this blog in a slightly more personal direction because it doesn’t seem like people like to read my arm chair theology anyway but I still like writing it so it may come up occasionally or I may just keep it private, I haven’t really decided as of yet.  Anyway I make the look of the blog a little brighter and hopefully a little brighter over all.

I had an interesting experience today at lunch today as I sat and pretended to read I was eavesdropping on a pair of older gentlemen at the next table. (Yea it was wrong but I don’t care) There conversation was more interesting than my book for a little while and I started to think about the older men, or lack there of in my life.

Change in Schedule again…

As much as I have resisted it I think I am going to have to change my posting schedule again.  I simply have to much to do to devote time to quality posts twice a week and I would like to improve my quality more than my quantity so I am making that decision.

I will post my posts on Tuesday and if I am doing a post more of a reference to another author’s work it may appear at any time but my original posts will only come on Tuesday as a rule.

I hope you will all continue to read things and feel free to agree or disagree with me in the comments. In fact my next post will be about those who disagree with me and why I appreciate them.

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

I have been accused of not believing in the power of preaching by a great friend over the years, although I believe it is a disagreement on what the meaning of preaching really is.  I believe in the power of preaching as the Bible uses the term but not in preaching as it is understood in the church today.  And I am not sure Paul would approve either.

I have several great ideas in my head but with big projects at work and three sick girls in the house my time has been a little stretched.

Might I suggest you to to the home page and take a look at the “Top Posts” tab or the “Authors Favs” They are some older posts that I like or that people seemed to like.

I hope to get some things written over the weekend…
