Andrea and I had an interesting experience last night. We had gotten home from a great day of church activities - fun Sunday service talking about World Vision and then a potluck and TRVC Partners meeting at night. To wind down for the night, we had recorded the 2 hour special of "24" that was on FOX last night. (Although, I don't know that watching 24 is a very effective way to wind down!) Anyway - we were blown away with the setting and subject matter of 24, and how amazingly that related to things we had just talked about earlier that day.

Today, I had the opportunity to join my friend, Jeff Heidkamp in an interesting pursuit today. Jeff is the pastor of Mercy Vineyard Church in Minneapolis, and the editor of Cutting Edge, a quarterly magazine that Vineyard churches puts out about church planting. A guy in Jeff's church asked him to be the guest host for a radio program he produces, Along The Way, and I got asked to be Jeff's guest on the program.

The Venue 2008 is done... It was hard to get a full count - but they are guessing somewhere between 800-1000 people made their way through over the weekend and what a weekend it was!!!

A daily spiritual exercise to try out |

These past couple of weeks, I've been reading an interesting book called Heroic Leadership that connects advice to businesspeople with teachings from 450 years of the Jesuits. The author, Chris Lowney, who was both a former Jesuit and now an investment banker, writes about a spiritual exercise that was common to the Jesuits The “examen” it was called - a twice-a-day time of “self-examination,” that is actually scheduled into your day... just a few minutes to recalibrate yourself with life and God, as well as to your work.

This week, Andrea and I get the treat of heading to the annual Fall Midwest Vineyard pastor's retreat. The past few years it's been held in Green Lake, WI, which if you've never been there is absolutely gorgeous this time of year.

A great prayer |

A friend of mine forwarded this prayer to me this morning - thought I'd pass it along. Thomas Merton wrote this prayer some time ago, but it still rings true today, especially if you are going through a dark or confusing time.

Faith and economic uncertainty |

Unless you've been under a rock for the past month, you've likely felt the reverberations of anxiety going through our country about the economy. That the country is in a financial crisis goes without saying. But what should be the response of someone pursuing vibrant faith in Jesus? What approach should we take?
