Spanish Love Song

The Nothing Must Change Tour

Oh…now I wish I’d thought of this. This is just funny stuff.

Yo No Creo

I’ve come to a new spiritual revelation lately.  I think I now understand the tongues issue.

Cessationists claim that tongues and all miraculous gifts ceased with the closing of the New Testament canon of Scripture.  Continualists believe that tongues and other miraculous gifts are still active in our day.  Cessationists generally claim that the tongues spoken of in the New Testament were known languages.  I’m now inclined to believe that tongues may still exist today and that they are, in fact, known languages.

You see, every time my family goes to Taco Bueno we see Pentecostals there.  Every time.  They are impossible to miss.  Uncut hair in a bun.  No makeup.  No jewelry.  Denim skirts.  Long-sleeved white blouses.  That true even of the women.

But they are always in Taco Bueno.  I think tongues may be derived from a Spanish food menu.

When I typed in "Episcopal hat" I got these results:

I rest my case.

Hitting On Fred Phelps, Jr.

I haven’t had time to complete my thoughts on slavery, but while we enjoy this little interlude together check this out.  I’m guessing that since this was in Greensboro, NC this may have happened during the Southern Baptist Convention last year.  It’s stinking funny.

Left Behind

Today is supposed to be Spiritual Discipline Tuesday and I’m supposed to be writing about Solitude.  However, my mother-in-law is in the hospital and my wife is with her there while I remain at home to make sure the kids get to school, don’t blow up the house and brush their teeth.  My tank is empty right now, so I leave you with this and ask you to pray for my mother-in-law and her family.

This is…you’ve just got to watch this…….

A Little Levity Lightens the Whole

The ups and downs of ministry:

They’re Really Coming Along Now

Our kids like to prank their pastor.  I don’t know why.  However, this year we have instituted a new discipleship program into our camp curriculum which is meant to instill a greater sense of honor and respect.  I think it is really beginning to take root.  Have a look-see:

Camp Discipline

Occasionally one of our wonderful miscreants youth decides to push the envelope and see what they can get away with while at camp.  Each year we have some pre-determined means of handing out discipline.  They may get extra KP, have to scrub the toilets, or in extreme cases, this:

Youth Camp

This week I’m off to Falls Creek, “The Largest Christian Youth
Encampment In The World™.”  While I’m out I hope you enjoy some video clips of what this week just might hold for our kids.

In today’s episode students get a preview of the core curriculum from the Southwestern degree in homemaking and proper gender roles.
