My sister just started a new blog and posted this about Jaden:

Parker is precious and Jaden is funny as ever. Today I was getting ready in the bathroom and had my Kent State sweater hanging on the door knob. Jaden asked what the letters spelled. I told him what it said and this was his response:

“Oh yeah, well I like Ohio State better than Michigan and if anyone tries to tell me anything else (putting his hands over his ears), I say ‘lalala’ and don’t listen to them.”

They train him well!

This Sunday we broke ground on our addition. The coolest part was seeing the kids taking part and seeing the example of being outward with this thing so more people can hear about Jesus.

Edit: I should add that the first three pics are from Brett and the last one is thanks to JD Small who flew his plane over the church to get the pictures.

It’s been a year since we were in Amsterdam and Rick Peterson wrote a poem, Kelly gave me stroupwaffles and I’m putting up this pic where we let the elderly people in wheelchairs sit and drink while we ate ice cream.

Postcards and Porcelain

There were nine of us that traveled together.
Yet, It was our Mission in Amsterdam,
not just to get postcards and porcelain
or flower-covered boxers and designer shoes

A sunny afternoon, good times and beer,
Sun and clouds overhead, while under a windmill
With Mickey the DJ and Lawerence the pilot,
Ian and Kyo saying “I know why you’re here”

Prostitution, pot and crack cocaine.
Sex slaves, dealers and Danish Deacons
The Cleft is bridging the bridges, Son-light for red-light
Queen’s Night and Day in shades of orange

Roel with his future wife, she just doesn’t know it yet.
Noel trained to Germany, but just for the day
City walk, wheelchair walk, all the way to the Dam.
Zolder 50 and bluegrass in the attic.

Was it a lost love or was the love just missing.
Lost in a city of the lost, but the Spirit lives
Naomi and Patricia, sweet and quiet spirits
Evenings babysitting, early mornings in prayer

Boy, I miss those frites and peanut sauce.

Bored at church? Craig Groeschel at Livechurch.tv has some good advice:

Talk to your pastor honestly. Offer to do anything that needs to be done.
Walk outside your church building. Pretend like you’ve never been to that building. Walk in and look around. Write down your impressions. Change something.
Write some letters to volunteers.
Pick up a great book.
Be still. Listen to God.
Pray for ten churches in your city.
Go to the coffee shop and strike up a conversation with a stranger. Listen to them with no agenda.
Think of some people you haven’t seen in church. Pray for them. Then call them.
Look at your web site like a first time guest. What could be better?
Call a pastor from another church and offer encouragement.
Think of a church member who might be bored and offer to help find them a place to use their gifts.
Go mow someone’s yard.
Post something positive on your favorite blogs.
Go home and spend some time with your kids.

So, I played in a charity basketball game, Riverview vs. Trinity, yesterday and it made the local news, although I wasn’t on the court in the clip. We lost, but it was fun.

My friends Laura and Brandon, who I play with in Folksplosion have just finished recording and mixing their new album and I got a sneak peek today.  The songs are beautiful, spiritual songs. “Living The Kingdom Life” starts off with barely a guitar and a whisper, but builds into a crescendo of harmony and piano and then even a choir (of which I was honored to be a part of).   These folk/gospel songs have the maturity and grit to fit in perfectly on a Paste sampler.  There songs range from waltzes about loneliness to Dylanesque spritituals to prayerful ballads.  I think the release date for the record is sometime in early May. For now you can preview four songs ontheir Myspace
