Be This Guy.
Ok, boys and girls, in an effort to provide a more interactive blog for my readers, I've decided to begin a new, weekly feature. It's called "Be This Guy". Here's how it works. Each week I will post a new photo of some random person whose photo I find on the web or wherever. Then you guys will write the guy's life story in first person. Who are you? What is your name? your career? Your story? Be creative. Have fun. Here's your chance to contribute. To leave a comment you'll have to register with blogspot. Then the management at funky presbyterian will select a winner of the week. So for our first time around I submit to you the photo of a distinguished, bearded gent. Yay! This will be fun.

Holy Cow! (small town dad raises big city kids)
Here's a picture of Jack and a cow. I like this picture. It was a fun day at the Great Darke County Fair and Jack had never been that close to a cow before. It was a very big deal. I was raised in a small town in rural Ohio and it always surprises me when Jack says things that remind me I'm raising city kids, now. He was absolutely flabbergasted when Charity and I explained that when we were kids we only went to the shopping mall once every three months or so. He was stunned. Like we had been subject to some kind of strange ritualistic abuse or something. I remember when we were at the Great Darke County Fair he asked where all the African American people were. We thought that was a good question to ask. It's just a different kind of childhood to be raised as a city kid. The kind where cows are a big deal, I guess.
We oughta forge ourselves a new kind of life. You know, greater diversity, fewer malls, more cows. That sounds nice. Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty accurate description of Heaven. Thy kingdom come. Amen.

Speaking In Indy
Sunday morning I am speaking at a church in Indianapolis. Redeemer in downtown Indy is one of my all time favorite churches in the world. They are great folks, with a great story and were very instrumental in my call to church planting, even though they don't really know that. Anyway, we're taking the whole family and a good friend of ours got us a great rate on a room at the Westin, so we're staying in style. (Jack has never stayed in a hotel before. We'll be sure to jump on the beds). I'm speaking on a parable from Luke sunday morning and then high-tailing it back to Columbus to speak at grace central Sunday evening. Should be a good day.
