Mark Driscoll on Resurgence, American Post-Christianity and a Call to Men

A week ago or so I took a 2-mile walk and listened to this podcast from Mark Driscoll.  It has really messed me up (in a good way) and challenged me.  Please take the time to listen and feel free to comment.

Why are there Millions of Sea Creatures Buried in the Grand Canyon?

There are some advantages and disadvantages to living in the desert southwest of the United States.  Advantage #1 - it's sunny most of the year (320 days or more) and it never rains.  Houston, Texas (and many other places) can get more rain in one day than we get in one year if that tells you anything.  Disadvantage #1 - the 320 sunny days make it VERY hot for about four months out of the year.   Advantage #2 - We live near one of the greatest geological exhibits in all the world-  The Grand Canyon and the Great Basin.   Lately, I have become rather fascinated and intrigued (my wife might say obsessed, but really it's not that bad) with the geology, history, and beauty of the Grand Canyon and some of the lesser known areas of the southwest.  I fell in love with the Canyon when, as a college student, I hiked to the bottom of the GC and stayed with the Havasupai people.  Havasupai means "people of the blue green waters" as they have one of the mos...

My Strategy for Transitioning out of the Covid-19 Pandemic

I have had an idea bouncing around in my head for a few days about how to deal with this Covid-19 outbreak and what it will take us to get "back to normal."  What if we took our entire country and labeled each area by a ZONE depending on population density?  The number of people who live, commute and work near each other is a HUGE factor in the spread of new and contagious diseases.   You are far more likely to acquire a new and untreatable virus in New York City than you are in Kingman, Arizona, for example.  Like this: In addition, what if we set up a series of CODES or warnings (like they do for fire danger in forest areas) for each zone?.  Something like this: Every location in America would have both a Zone number and Code number (which would change as needed).  If you live and work in Manhattan in New York City, you are in Zone 10 and you might be under Code Red 2-  Shelter in Place but you are permitted to go out for essentials...

My 40 Day Challenge

-
I am looking for 40 friends (you would have to be a VERY good friend to do this) so read below carefully.  But I PROMISE to keep my end of the bargain also: It's time!  3 1/2 years ago I resigned from leading a wonderful church and left the ministry to work on areas of my life long neglected and in need of much transformation.  Five Pastor/Leaders and many others have helped Sallie and I renew our marriage, refocus our life, re-prioritize and heal areas of my life personally, our marriage and our ministry focus.  But it is now time to start making plans to re-enter the calling that God gave me when I was a college student- to lead the body of Christ using my spiritual gifts, talents and abilities.  Sallie is ready too-- really ready!  So I have been thinking and praying and I came up with an idea-- I want to challenge 40 people in my life- close people, people who know us well, who have walked with us, those who love us, to join us in a journey from Oc...
