Its amazing how a song that I learned while in Mexico can still touch me deeply as I hear it. I do remember what some of the lines mean – its a great song! But the impact comes more from the memories associated with it, as we spent a week in Juarez, Mexico, and saw…

1 Corinthians 7
I decided to read 1 Corinthians 7 from the Message, to try to connect with it better. It really helped, I like the way Peterson draws out the positive, affirming and inviting sense of Paul’s advise. One line in particular jumped out at me, summarizing the heart of the whole passage: All I want is for you…
church is a verb!!!
The United Methodist Church invites us to rethink church. This is where my own mind has been going, after spending a week churching with our youth in Washington DC. I like the part about the Sunday actually being a day of rest, because Monday through Saturday is the time for churching! What do you think?
dcla – heading home!
Hey everyone, thanks for checking in. The last two days have been very busy, lots of walking, exploring and fun-having. Sorry about not posting pictures these last few days, you will have to come on Sunday to see and hear more. Today was a great day at the Six Flags America park. We hope to…
dcla day 5
The last day of dcla. We got an early start – 9am – for our last small groups and the last big session. We talked about being, loving and serving – today was about serving. Starfield led the worship session – it was loud and awesome, the floor was shaking. You could sense the presence…
dcla day 4
Today was much like yesterday. We started with the Labs (small groups) from 10-12, then did lunch on the lawn outside of the center. While we did lunch, we practiced the street play (same one that Senior Wave did at church). While we were doing do, it got a double ace approval from an observer with…
dcla day 3
Starting to get tired, these are long days!!! Back at 11:45, then sharing highs and lows. We arrived at the center for 10am, where we broke up into Labs, our assigned small groups for the weekend. They are led by student leaders, which is neat, though a number of our youth found their groups too…
dcla day 2
The first day was great! We started with continental breakfast. A slow start to the day, a unexpected scenic tour of Washington. We got there late for the 10:30 opening, only to discover that we were four hours early (they changed the time of registration). So, we went on a walking tour to the White House….
dcla day 1
Our drive to DC went well, uneventful, which is how we like it. We met the Belleville group at 8:30, and we followed them (they have GPS). The van ride was pretty quiet, the group is still gelling, but by the end of the night it was better. They are mixing with the Belleville group…
