Ok, my self-induced hiatus is over.  I’m coming back to blogging again.  I have a lot of posts that I need to transfer from written page, bookmarks, and Evernote notes.  Those will be added over the next day or so.  I am going to record them on the dates that I wrote, bookmarked, or noted them and I’ll throw them up on Facebook.

Al Mohler shares an incredible story that has emerged from the Haitian tragedy.  While there are many, many tragic stories happening around the world that you and I often do not hear about, this one touches deeply.  It points us back to our own adoptions into the family of God.  Enjoy.  Read it here.

Missional Communities in the Suburbs & Cities

A friend of mine referred me to Jonathon Dodson’s message on Missional Communities.  I listened to it today and he had some great philosophical and practical insights into building thriving Gospel centered communities.  Not a small group, not a sunday school class…a whole different way of enjoying people with Jesus.  Check it out!

An Old Pastor’s Wisdom

By paddy1mac · Comments (0)

I love and greatly value wisdom from older Saints.  I love to see an older Saint who has walked a long time with Jesus and continues to do so with great joy and anticipation.  There have been several of them in my life and I have always deeply valued what they had to share.  Here is another Saints bit of simple wisdom – http://ow.ly/QhgX

I’m working through this Bible reading plan that was posted over at the Gospel Coalition’s site.  My Twitter friend Rae Whitlock pointed it out.  It looks like a good plan for my scattered and splattered self.  If you don’t have a plan, or don’t normally read through the Bible – this may be a helpful tool for you as well.  If you want to join me in reading post it up here.
