New Small Group book

“…Here’s what struck me: all this comes at precisely the time when our culture is growing weary of slick production and whatever’s new and is growing hungry for authentic presence and historical rootedness.  Younger generations don’t want trendy engagement from the church; in fact, they’re suspicious of it.  Instead they want truthfulness engagement with historical [...]

RIP The Everybodyfields…Hello Jill Andrews

So..one of my favorite bands broke up not too long ago.  They were called The Everybodyfields.  Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews were both part of that band and are now working on solo projects.  
Recently I stumbled across this video on Jill Andrews’ website of her covering Lucinda Williams‘ “Sharp Cutting Wings.”  I love her [...]

Cool New Movie Alert

So…this is an interesting new venture for Patton Oswalt considering he’s historically associated with comedy…but his new movie “Big Fan” appears more dramatic than anything I’ve ever seen him do…and looks really awesome…Here’s the trailer…

It’s written and directed by Robert D. Siegel, which if you have your movie trivia cap on, [...]

The Greatest Generation…

 
So…my grandmother (we all call her Mimi) passed away Sunday night; and having had a close relationship with her, I’ve been feeling very sad and also nostalgic.  Growing up just through the woods (I literally walked through the woods down the “path” to get to her house) made for the majority of my memories from [...]

Star Trek vs. Star Wars

So, I saw Start Trek the other day with a friend (and it’s awesome by the way)…she will remain nameless…who on the way to the movie said in all seriousness, “I’m glad I’ll finally be able to now tell my friends I’ve seen a Star Wars movie.”  Haha…
This made me think of a video I [...]

Another edition of new music you should be listening to….

well…if you want my opinion anyway.
 
So, I haven’t posted on here in a while because I’ve been crazy busy with house stuff, but while I have a lull here goes.
 
The first band I’ll throw out there is Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers.  They just released their first full-length album titled “Songs in the Night”. [...]

The new place!!

So, I’m closing on my house Monday…exciting and scary all in one emotion.  Definitely the most adult thing I’ve ever done.  Rockin’ the suburbs yo!!

Good Books Alert…

Wow…I haven’t put anything up here since Valentines Day…that’s crazy…I’m sure my vast fan base will be in an uproar soon…
 
But until then, I figured I would share some good books I’ve been reading…
 

I just got through reading John Stott’s “Basic Christianity”.  This book floored me with its simplicity yet uncompromising intellectual description of what [...]

Valentines Day…a holiday invented by a greeting card company

 
So..I’m actually not going to write about Valentines Day…I’ve never celebrated this lame ass holiday anyway…
But, I will talk about the Ryan Adams tickets I scored today…Some good friends and I will be attending one of Ryan Adams’ last shows (or so he says) in Atlanta at the Tabernacle, which is an awesome venue.  Ryan [...]
