  • When It Rains

    When It Rains

    California is desperate for rain. The past several days in San Diego have been overcast, we even got a couple sprinkles. But we are long overdue for serious rainfall. And if we don’t get the rain we need in the next 6-10 weeks it’ll have a dramatic impact on life here in California. But also around the country and the cost of things manufactured and grown here will go up.

  • Should I friend my youth group students on social media?

    Should I friend my youth group students on social media?

    From a Pew Internet focus group:

    Friending teachers and preachers

    Female (age 14): “I think I wouldn’t [become Facebook friends with my teachers]. Just because I’m such a different person online. I’m more free. And obviously, I care about certain things, but I’m going to post what I want. I wouldn’t necessarily post anything bad that I wouldn’t want them to see, but it would just be different. And I feel like in the classroom, I’m more professional [at] school. I’m not going to scream across the room oh my God, I want to dance! Or stuff like that. So I feel if they saw my Facebook they would think differently of me. And that would probably be kind of uncomfortable. So I probably would not be friends with them.”

    Glass

    Shattered-Glass

    So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

    — Genesis 1:27

    If we are image bearers of God. We are made of glass, fragile in comparison to the One we reflect.

  • Las Vegas expectations, Branson budget

    Las Vegas expectations, Branson budget

    No offense to Branson, Missouri. But it’s not Las Vegas.

    Branson has shows. It has nightlife. It has hotels. It has entertainment. It’s promoted as a fun place to go because it is a fun place to go.

    But it isn’t Vegas. Vegas has better nightlife. Better hotels. Better entertainment. Vegas is promoted the way it is because there’s only one Las Vegas.
