Become What You’re Not, Zeal, And A New Blogging Feature
I know it’s possible to set up my RSS Feeder so that anyone who reads my blog can see exactly what blogs I’m reading on a daily basis. This feature bothers me just a bit because I frequently don’t agree with the content of all the blogs that I read. Sometimes it’s good to read people who totally disagree with you to get a better perspective. This has caused me to dream up a new feature on this blog, one I like to call “Blogs I Wish I Wrote.” In “Blogs I Wish I Wrote” I will feature either a snippet of a profound or humourous blog or a link to one, which, while reading, I say to myself “Man, I wish I was the guy who wrote that.”
Today’s “Blog I Wish I Wrote” comes all the way from South Africa, where Jono, a man I had the priviledge of living with for a year, shares in two short paragraphs the mystery of how God can command us to be what we are not. I would quote it here, but the whole post is so profound and short, that to post only part would not due it justice but to post all of it would be stealing. Instead, I point you to “One Necessary Thing and Some Other Stuff” by Jonathan and encourage you to read and ponder that which the Lord is sharing with him.
Thursday Night Brain Dump
I haven’t posted in a week or so. The cruelty of blogging is that when you have the most stuff going on to write about you have the least time to blog about it. This Thursday night brain dump is for those who are slightly curious about what is going on in Travis’ world.
Sunday was both my birthday and an awesome day. I had an amazing divine connection with a guy who spends his days mobilizing reproducible churches to reach the lost in North America.
Christy and I wanted to be in Kansas City this last part of this week, but with no new car and an ailing older car, the trip was not possible. This is the first time we’ve missed Tribal Gathering in years and its kind of a bummer.
I’ve been up trying to read through a new book about to be published called “Come Rest.” I’ve been asked to write a little blurb as a recommendation and when I do, I will post it here to give the book some publicity.
Discipleship actually works. Especially when its real, intentional, and simple.
I still have a lot of stuff I’m hoping to post here, including “The Apostolic Nature of House Churches” and “An Appeal,” which is why I wrote about Todd Bentley and Lakeland in the first place. Watch for more coming soon.
Notice
Most of the time I blog for everyone to see. This time, this blog is for me. I’m done watching my blog stats. Feel free to come, visit, enjoy the blog, and comment. But Jesus is too real for me to spend time counting people showing up here.
You may all now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
