Howdy Partner

Chris on Sep 29th 2008

This is my crazy nephew, who lives back in PA. His mom (my sister) sent this video to me yesterday. Apparently he was bored and wanted to make me a video. This is it. I miss picking on this guy. Enjoy.

Weeping to the trees

Chris on Sep 26th 2008

A friend on facebook posted this video a couple days ago.  Its amazingly ridicules.  There tree’s for crying out loud.  Seriously, why don’t people get upset about the millions of aborted babies, or the thousands of people being murdered in the cities around the world.  I dying tree is the least of our worries.  This [...]

Hi I’m Toby Flenderson

Chris on Sep 25th 2008

In celebration for tonight’s premiere I figured I’d see which Office character I am. Who are you? I’m super excited about tonight’s episode and can’t wait! Hopefully the writers strike doesn’t interfere again this year.

What NBC “The Office” character are you?
Your Result: Toby Flenderson

 

You are a mild mannered, likable [...]

Church Steeples

There was a time, just a few centuries ago, when nautical maps of Europe had legends that [...]

The health and life of a church

Chris on Sep 24th 2008

“The health and life of the church rests in the spiritual examples the elders model. The problem in the church today is not the absence of innovative programs, financial giving, or dynamic preachers and teachers. The problem is in the leadership team.” - Found on the internet a few years ago.

Restoration? or… YOU messed up, so we don’t care about you anymore

Chris on Sep 23rd 2008

So it makes me wonder. Through the experiences that I have had at church why restoration, isn’t really restoration.  I have seen two pastors, I personally know, fail morally in the positions they held, one in particular was in the very church that I was attending.  Why is it that we as believers never reached [...]

Contemplation as of late

Chris on Sep 22nd 2008

I’ve been wresting around this past evening with what to write exactly.  I’m still not sure I’ve come to a complete conclusion, and what I write may be a mess, but here it goes.  
To be honest, I’ve had quite a bit of things on my mind as of late.  Some of those things I [...]

evil, you?

Chris on Sep 19th 2008

So I’m just curious where did it come from, and what is it?  Last week I was leading a study in the book of James (Chapter 1) and we got onto rather good discussion about this.  I’m just kinda what your thoughts are.  I’m not here to start a argument, or whatever.  I’m just curious [...]

Turning off store links in iTunes 8

Chris on Sep 9th 2008

Today, Apple released iTunes 8 with some cool new features.  However one of the options that you used to be able to disable in the preference section if iTunes is no longer available.  This option is turning off the Store links for every song in your library.  A Mac software blog that I read posted [...]

What we love.

Chris on Sep 3rd 2008

Yesterday morning I finished up John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste your Life”.  It was a great book, but a book I thought that the points could have been better defined and brought to a quicker attention rather than the drawn out process that Piper followed throughout the book.  Anyway, as I worked my way through [...]
