  • back from chicago

    We returned last night from our annual college visit pilgrimage last night. We didn’t get home particularly late, but it sure felt late with all the sickness in the van and the change to daylight savings time. All in all it was a nice trip. Both seniors saw the schools they had applied to and…

  • "mi casa es su casa" put to the test

    This weekend, I am in the Chicago area with some upperclassmen visiting Moody Bible Institute and Trinity International University. For LF, this is an annual thing. Yes, it’s become tradition.

    You know, I got this article forwarded to me today. And it really hacked me off. For the past 6 months or so the staff has wondered if we were past stuff like this. Apparently fundamentalism is alive and well in the hearts and minds of people in our church… people I really like. It’s…

  • operation c update

    This morning at my Bible study we talked a little bit about the “secret mission.” At this point, they are having a hard time even finding C. They are going to purposely have to seek C out and change their habits in order to make the connection. But they are still on the case.

  • making connections

    Lemme share something amazing. I spent another “all Sunday” session with a former student doing work on my house. It leaves me thinking to myself… What is this all about? Am I on to something?
