This Christian Life

Sunday Mornings

I received this from a pastor friend of mine. This reality has been more and more apparent to me the last few years.

Sadly, Sunday morning is a prime time when most of God’s missing children are available and Christians least available.

What would happen if we had a “stay home from church day” where Christians all over the world stayed home and made an intention of reaching out their neighbors. How many of us have good relationships with our neighbors? Good enough to know when they need support in their lives?

Until the End of the World

Nate showed me this video. Someone combined a live version of Until the End of the World (lyrics, iTunes) with scenes from the Passion of the Christ. Sweet idea. Sort of brings the lyrics of the song to life. In case you didn’t know, Bono wrote the song from Judas’ point of view. Once you listen to it for the first time from that perspective, it will all make more sense.

Fun, Food and Neighbors

This year’s block party was “the best one” according to neighbors. The local press covered the event with a tasty article about the delectably diverse food options at the party. There are also photos and more information in the article. Check it out!

Unfortunately, we couldn’t attend in lieu of a wonderful time with family from out of town.

Check out the article and photos!

Google Earth Outreach

This could be a great tool for a mission or organization looking to get their story out.

Hundreds of millions of people use Google Earth to explore the world around them. The Google Earth Outreach program can give you the knowledge and resources you need to reach their minds and their hearts.

As a non-profit or public benefit group, you can use Google Earth to capture the work you’re doing, the people you’re helping, the challenges you face and the change you’re helping to enable - all in the visual context of the environment in which these stories take place. By downloading your KML files, anyone, anywhere can fly in Google Earth from where they live to where you do your work. This virtual visit to the projects and people you support gets users engaged and passionate about what you’re doing and builds support for your cause.
