New Blog...

I've started a new blog: kairos.

I moved some of my recent posts there. I'm not sure how much posting I'll do here: maybe much, maybe not. We'll see.

Elizabeth on Bono and Mcconaughey

Nice reflection on Bono and McConaughey's apparence on Oprah (though I don't know enough about him to say that he's an amazing person)...

When seminarians rebel...

Those naughty PTS students. What happens when God opens up the snow-gates and Princeton still wants students to show up for 8am classes? They take action into their own hands....

Be sure to check out the pictures. Great photography, Adam...

Authentic blogging...

So I ran across apostle john's blog today.

He is a newish longtime presbyterian pastor down in florida. One of the things I'm thinking through as a new pastor is how to blog authentically my thoughts/musings/feelings while being pastoral to the church at the same time. I'm not sure, but I don't think that apostle john identifies which church he pastors in his blog: it is psuedo-anonymous by my quick glance. I wonder if his church knows about it.

That frees him, in a way, to talk about things like what he doesn't like about the process of being church where he works. Does that mean I should maintain an pseudo-anonymous blog so I could do the same too? I just wonder about how far to take the whole transparency thing...

Extreme what?

I remember in high school when the X games were being played in the downtown where I lived. I never thought that some folks would take the impulse to push the envelope to the heights now seen: extreme ironing!

Unbelievable.

Bono speaks. We should listen...

Yes, at a national prayer breakfast

Zehnder

Their webpage is up: http://www.ztheband.com

Not a great site: works poorly on firefox, and some limitations within IE as well; relies heavily on javascript. Still, I'm grateful that it is up so I can order a cd...

Cool music.

2006 APCE conference and Zehnder

Just got back from the 2006 Association of Presbyterian Christian Educators. I know that 1200 Christian Educators might sound daunting to many folk, but I had a good time and took some great workshops.

Best part was the musical leadership of Zehnder. Too bad their webpage is down, or I'd link there. Maybe soon....
