B Collision, Crowder Band's newest Remix CD is amazing. B stands for Banjo if you ask me. They really featured it and proved how beautiful of an instrument it can be. As Stewie says when speaking of the banjo, "What are those dulcet tones? Why this is the music of the angels?"
A BEAUTIFUL COLLISION
MOTHER Smith Family Reunion
Last Sunday was our Smith Family Reunion. It was a nice, I always loved the Smith side of my family. We were always close because my great grandma Smith lived so long and made use come together forever holiday of the year. When my Uncle Bill prayed he thanked our ancestors. I truley resinated with this thought because it is why I get so excited about the OT and the early church. Even the traditional, contemporary and seeker-sensitive church, they have all paved a way for new life to flurish in G-d's kingdom. In the same way I thank my family for allowing me to flurish Sondra and I are so blessed to have such loving and humble parents, grandparent's, aunt's, and uncles. In my prayer I will praise G-d for them. Here are some picture of the Smith Reunion festivities.
One day your a healthy young man....
C R A Z Y !
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions have an echo
in so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little oh it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Church Planting, Emergent, and Tim Keel.
A friend of mine approached me several months ago about partnering with him to plant a church. Since then we have talked a lot of the heart beat, passion, mission, etc. of what a church in our city could be and more importantly what it should be. As I looked for resources on church planting, they all seem to go against the vision and heartbeat of what we are discussing. So I figured that I would try to get in contact with pastors and church planters that have similar thoughts to ours. Most of these pastors are apart of the Emergent conversation or at least they are mission-ally focused. One of the first people who came to mind was Tim Keel, the founding pastor of Jacob's Well in Kansas City, Missouri. Yesterday we set up an iChat and talked for 45mins. I greatly appreciated this time, his incite and wisdom. We discussed leadership, community, and daily life, among other subjects. I publicly wanted to thank Tim for taking time out to speak with me. Pastor's lead busy lives and I'm glad he worked me in.
I'm trying to post via my phone. We'll have to see he it works. This weekend was eventful. Sondra had her wedding shower and I helped dad split wood. Also we picked mora wood from Aaron's house.
