Make public?
I'm thinking of telling a few friends about this blog. Does anyone have any reservations about making it more public? Please let me in comments or by email or phone by the end of Saturday.
With all kinds of crazy things to say.

I've been thinking, it seems like one good Biblical answer for where to get a pastor when your local church doesn't have one is in the local church. The more I understand the necessity of a strong core of leaders besides a preaching pastor, and see that Paul's "pastor", "elder", "overseer", and "bishop" are pretty much the same thing, the more I think that "what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2) is a quintessential descriptor of church leadership.
Even though Congress is on break, I’m still thinking about illegal immigration. I think it’s a complex issue, and I’m coming up with more questions than answers. Love to hear

Saturday night, we went down to the U of U for "Night with the NFL." It was Coach Tony Dungy of the Indianapolis Colts (the main attraction for me) and a current and a former NFL player (Jeff something and Luther something) sharing their Christian faith and specifically their testimony of how it affects their Football and the rest of their life. I know some of you aren't thrilled with Standing Together, but this event of theirs went off without compromise. There were several specific points made that should have made Mormons disagree, and hopefully think about (not just their 'yes, we believe in Jesus too, and he's nice, so we're Christians too' stuff):
For a while, we've been planning to visit Roy Bible Church, and we finally did yesterday. Now, I had been wondering why whenever we mentioned wanting to try it out, everybody else was uninterested, because they didn't have a pastor, or whatever. After all, if there's one thing I've learned the last year, church is about much more than the pastor and his preaching; I figured that we could go and meet the elders and/or other leadership, and from that could get a pretty good understanding of the church. If the leadership is solid, we can trust them to choose a pastor who has the right character and spirit, can accurately handle the Word of truth, and is the right kind of leader. Well.... now I know a good reason for y'all to be hesitant, whether you knew it or not.
Hey Everyone,
My Cats love to sit on our bedroom window ledge. They've started leaving little nose prints in the window.
How come no one else is having tons of fun with font colors?...
This morning Amy and I went to St. Paul's Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod); we wanted to visit sometime, and today was a good choice since we overslept and it's only a mile from our house.
Sometimes on the way to work, I listen to 89.1 FM for the classical music. Then after the 6:30 news, "Earth and Sky" comes on. This is a two minute NPR-esque blurb about science news; due to its NPR-esquity, I find myself picking up on (and listening for) the subtle liberal slant.
