Introducing... My Wife!

-
Welcome to the blogosphere love! You look a bit dazed; was the trip here long and tiring? 


Well, I, and we, are glad you are here. And I an assure you, honey, that you are going to have a great time here! Wink Wink!

                                      

By now you ought to wonder what I am talking about, yes? Of course you do! I know exactly how curious a bunch you are!

First, the obvious: Kristina has started a blog. "Mommy's Monkeys". Not only has she started a blog, but she has pre-populated it with posts so that now that she has 'gone public' there is already a bit of history on her site. That also means there are several good posts for you to go and read. But, you ask, why would you read them? I am glad you asked, because that takes us to my second point. 

Second, the soon to be obvious: Kristina's blog is about being a mother, and about our family. If you have already clicked the link to her blog, this news will have moved from being 'soon to be obvious' to 'already obvious.'  If you haven't already clicked one of the links to her blog, I only have one thing to say to you: Get moving! Who wouldn't want to read this stuff? And I am not biased in the least. 

Third, given the author and subject matter, I urge you all to check it out. You can see many more pictures of our family, learn what an amazing wife and mother Kristina is (and I am not just saying that; it is true!), get some interesting ideas of activities to do with your own kids, and generally have a good time laughing and enjoying some virtual sharing with our family. 

Once again, Kristina has started a blog. Check it out.

Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther

-
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)

A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit....

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:17-18 "One of the most powerful ways to influence the behavior of a system is through its purpose or goal. That's because the goal is the direction-setter of the system, the definer of discrepancies that require action, the indicator of compliance, failure, or success toward which balancing feedback loops work. If the goal is defined badly, if it doesn't measure what it's supposed to measure, if it doesn't reflect the real welfare of the system, then the system can't possibly produce a desirable result. Systems, like the three wishes in the traditional fairy tale, have a terrible tendency to produce exactly and only what you ask them to produce. Be careful what you ask them to produce." - Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems.

A Gracious Reading of Rob Bell

-
The Journey So Far The controversy rages on over Rob Bell's upcoming new book. No matter what happens now, this controversy has effectively guaranteed that 'everyone who is anyone' will need to read this book. Either to find out what is wrong and bash it, or because someone we generally disagree with also disagrees with the book so it has to be good stuff! Then, because 'everyone' is reading it, people like me will 'have to' read it to. After all, I am a pastor, and if many of my people are reading and being influenced by a book, don't I need to know what is going on as well?  Or so the reasoning will go... and perhaps I will read it, who knows. In the meantime, none of this will stop me from continuing to join this fray which I probably ought to have stayed out of in the first place. Onwards, Christian... :) The Latest Salvo The latest salvo has been fired by DeYoung  claiming that not only do we not need to talk with Bell but, more importantly, it
