Review: Once an Arafat Man

30, Oct 2008

For the record, this review is not a part of the Ooze Select Blogger reviews. This book, Once an Arafat Man is the biography of the Dad of one of my best blog-friend, Ben Abu Saada. Thanks, Ben, for the opportunity to read this great book.
Once an Arafat Man's sub-title couldn't be a better synopsis [...]

Worship Confessional: October 26, 2008

28, Oct 2008

I know, I know, I'm a day late with my confessional. I can feel myself working out of the blogging funk, but I think I need a few more days.
We had a good day at New Hope, or at least I did. I personally had one of those experiences that while I was on stage [...]

I was honored to be asked by Ron Burgess (MandoRon) to write up a guest post for him. Ron's got a really cool blog about pretty much whatever come to his mind (isn't that the hallmark of blogging?). I love his humor, and the fact that he plays mandolin for worship.

Well, I've had my Kindle for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say I absolutely love the thing. It hasn't been entirely trouble-free, but what little trouble there has been was usually a result of my ignorance—like purchasing the wrong kind of SD Card for starters.
Sometime later I'll blog on my first [...]

Worship Confessional: Sunday, October 20, 2008

20, Oct 2008

Yeah, I'm in a blogging funk. There's no real reason—I don't think—but I've just not been in the mood to blog, nor thought I've had anything to say to add to the conversation.
I've been down this road before, so I'm pretty sure I'll come out the other side with fresh inspiration. Until then, please be [...]

Worship Confessional: Sunday, October 12, 2008

13, Oct 2008

Yesterday was yet another one of those days where, even though I know the overall theme of this month's sermons, I didn't know the exact text/theme for the day's sermon. Nevertheless, I don't think things could have worked out much better if we had sat down a month in advance and planned the sermon and [...]

A Prayer God Won't Answer?

7, Oct 2008

Here's part 4 of my review on Six Prayers God Always Answers, by Mark Herringshaw and Jennifer Schuchmann.
I remember in high school, the whole skateboarding craze was firing back up, and many of my peers jumped whole-heartedly into the attending subculture. The problem was, a lot of my peers who went for the skater look, [...]
