David & Goliath video

saw this video this morning and had a bit of a laugh!

Tuesday's Two-Cents

this weeks to dos ~ RIPPLE, WAVE, several meetings, class, a handful of reading.

book I'm reading ~ Purpose Driven Church (Warren)

tunes that triggered ~ hands down the new DCB album - you must check it out (then let me know what you think!)

think about a thought ~ what if Jesus were to walk into your life (home, work, school, youth group, wherever) WWJT (What Would Jesus Tweet?) Seriously - I want to hear your thoughts on (140 characters or less) what Jesus would have to post to His Twitter about your life...

Scripture to skim ~ you pick....what are you liking this week - share with me!

Pass the Bacon!

This made me laugh so I had to pass it on...

Tuesday's Two-Cents

thoughts about the past week(end) ~ great weekend - Steph and I spent Saturday washing the cars and getting the garage cleaned out...finally it's clean and organized. Sunday my team and I participated in the Alzheimer's Memory Walk - good times - if you're interested in walking next year let me know. And then I had some great discussions Sunday evening at DIVE.

this weeks to dos ~ a couple meetings, some prep work on a project for this winter, things around the house and other randomness

book I'm reading ~ Purpose Driven Church (lovin' it and can't wait to see how it applies to GSPC)

tunes that triggered ~ just listening to a play list of random songs this week...I think I'm gonna go check out DCB new album that released today "Church Music."

thoughts on the coming week ~ eh, nothing too out there - it should be a good week!

Scripture to skim ~ again back to the Bible in the Year, check out the plan on the goodsheppc.org website - join in it's a blast!

Tempting...

So, I'm going to assume something (dangerous I know...) but if you're reading this I'm going to assume you're human!

If you're human then you face temptation!

So, what temptation is in your life?

Check out this great article on developing a plan to beat temptation in your life!

No boat....just a square!

See, good music can come with good lyrics...who needs "I'm on A Boat?" - that's right, no one!

Thought these youth workers did a great job...

If So....then Why?

Came across this interesting piece of info from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life:

• Congress is more Protestant (55 percent) than the U.S. general population (which is 51 percent), more Catholic (30 vs. 24 %), more Jewish (8 vs. 2 %), and more Mormon (3 vs. 2 %).
• One in six Americans (17 percent) list no religious preference, compared to only five members of Congress (1%).
• There are 43 Presbyterians* in Congress, or 8 percent of the total; by comparison, Presbyterians are only 3 percent of the U.S. population. Only two Protestant groups have more representation in Congress: Baptists (66) and Methodists (57).
• There are 31 Presbyterians in the House(7 percent), 12 in the Senate (12 percent).
• More Presbyterians in Congress are Republicans (24) than Democrats (19).

* All but one belong to the PC (USA).

So, my question is - if only 1% of Congress claims no religious preference then why do our politicians act the way they do? True, many will say 'because they are human,' but seriously, why?
