Serving with Eyes Wide Open

Just finished Serving with Eyes Wide Open by David Livermore. This is a book about our approach to Short-term missions. I am particularly intrigued with this subject because I am leading a trip to Poland this summer with a bunch of 10th - 12th grade students. I am looking forward to it, but the more I read Livermore's book I realized that I was enabling them. I wasn't giving them the tools to succeed, but rather giving them the short simplified answers that I think that they need to get the job done right (whatever that means). I always love a good book that will change my perspective on a subject.

I want to read books that will blow me away, not books that will just support what I all ready know. I want to read books that will blow me away by supporting what I already know. This book did just that. It took the passion I have to see the world as the kingdom and practically showed me how I can teach that to my students while on a short-term missions trip.

Thanks Dr. Livermore

Jacob Tyler Wolfgang

So Jacob just finished recording his new albumn a few weeks ago, and he has some of the music up on his MySpace (not to be confused with ThySpace). You can also purchase the cd for only $5.49 here!

Jacob is coming to Goshen to do a show at Youth Group on June 6th. He did our worship for our winter retreat this past January and the students here seemed to really like Jacob and his music. He did a show for us on Saturday Night and students were waltzing to his famous Philosophy Waltz.

So, check the CD out! Let me know what you think! I personally enjoy Sarah's vocals on the Bless Our Burning Heart!

Great Job guys.

ThySpace

ThySpace is a version of MySpace created solely for Bob Jones University Students, check this quote out!









ThySpace will be launched this fall at the beginning of the 2007-2008 academic year and will only be available and accessible to Bob Jones students on campus. Students will be able to customize there own home page and list their favorite classes at Bob Jones, their favorite Bob Jones III quote, their favorite Bob Jones choir music that they like to listen to, and their favorite food at the Bob Jones Dining Common. In addition, students may post pictures of themselves so long as they were taken on the campus of the university, and they may regularly blog about the things they have learned during Sunday AM services at the Founders' Memorial Apithorium."What this will do is increase our community." Said Jones. "You take a good idea, like MySpace, and you tweak it just a bit and you get what we have here with ThySpace."The site will be free to use by all campus students, and will be monitored by the school's staff to avoid any inappropriate remarks being made. Furthermore, under no circumstances may students of the opposite sex add each other as friends."We're here to show the world that we at Bob Jones University can be old fashioned and yet use new things." Said Jones. "But we're not going to compromise though. We're here to stand in the gap and show the world how Christians should live."

2007 Book List

My former boss, Robb Ryerse, has since college read one book per week. I thought that this was amazing so now I am trying to accomplish the same feat. Granted, I'm not doing so hot, but track with me on the right hand side of the screen as we read the books.

London to New York

So I just wanted to see what would happen if I tried to get directions from London to New York.

I like step 37!
