And I thought I was above all this…

Lookie, lookie: my face on Andrew Jones’ blog. (Well, my face behind my hand…) I’m sure I shouldn’t be such a celebrity gawker…but it’s better than a celebrity stalker! 🙂

Worship yesterday

We finished our journey through Colossians by having the entire letter read out loud. The feedback was all positive-hearing the entire book in one sitting was challenging for our hyper-stimulated, visual lifestyle, but it still worked. I had a brainstorm of importing Colossians into Microsoft …
