I can't agree with you more. I've been going through a spiritual growth spurt the past few years...looking through new lenses (along the same lines you're talking about). If we spent more time just loving people, without condition (meaning we continue to love them, even when they don't clean-up or they don't "convert", etc.), I think God's glory would shine all the more. Instead of spending our time, money and resources tract-bombing a city, let's go hang out with our fellow, broken human beings and just love on them. You've got to check out this dude, Matt Chandler (he was my pastor when I lived in Texas). He's on i-Tunes (free sermons) or check out their site: http://hv.thevillagechurch.net/ Be well, Bro!

I finally feel like I could sit down with anyone and in minutes, help them get it. I really loved this book. Challenging and wonderful.

Glad to see your running is going well and I am excited to get back to the states and get me one of the new iphones so i can track myself with GPS..

Heck, I didn't even know how to spell it until I read it here. I only had heard about it on NPR and when Maher mentioned it (shamelessly) on the Oscars. I think it's great that you're blogging. I have slowed down on my a LOT in the past year. I used to post almost every day, but as I ran out of ideas and fun stories from the past, it turned into just another dad blog. Not that there's anything wrong with dad blogs, per se, but they aren't very appealing to folks who don't know the dad and/or his family. I like your suggestion that maybe Christians should stop trying to prove they are "right" and just live the word. If only everyone in every group could do that, we'd all be a lot better off.
