Houston

We arrived in Houston. The girls are pumped because the hotel has a pool. Not wanting to waste time, we dropped our stuff off at the hotel and made our way to 2115 Taft St. Cafe. It's cool to connect with the local culture and all.

In other news:

Wahba FINALLY dropped an important annoucement. You can go to his blog and get the details. In the meantime, CONGRATS to Wahba and Jodi...We will see you Monday night to celebrate.

Peace & ,love from the road.

All Things Old Are New Again

We are hanging out at one of my favorite cafe's in Dallas-Cafe Brazil. Dallas has changed over the past few years, the downtown/midtown areas seems more hip & urban, which is good.

I'm hoping to connect with some friends today. That will be fun. It's always great to catch up and see what's going on in people lives. If you live in the Big D, and want to hang out, call me @ 919-247-7614.

We made it

We made it to Dallas...Good to see family...The girls are so happy...Now its time for bed.

Driscoll Says Sorry

I ripped Mark Driscoll for his recent comments. So, I wanted to give him props for doing the right thing. He is a great leaders with a strong personality, so its good to see him be humble and admit he sinned. Yes, he is able to still stand by his concerns. Good stuff.

Evotions From The Road

"How did so few people, become the voice for so many?" Rob Bell from the Nooma video bullhorn.

24 Rocked

we were able to watch 24 going 75 on the freeway thanks to our tv/dvd player in the van.

I knew Audry was innocent!

We are looking forward to a new start, living missional lives amongst a new community & a new city.

Also, I wanted to give a big shout out to the Nussbaums...Yesterday we had a bit of a crisis...But the Nussbaums helped us through it. See you guys @ pike' place :)

Top Muslim clerics: Convert must die - Mar 23, 2006

Fundamentalism is lethal. I would love to hear from the Muslim community that is against killing a man because he converts to Christianity. It seems difficult to understand the Muslim culture, if someone does anything they don't like, they go nuts. Now, I hate to group all Muslims in this category. We all know plenty of Christian fundamentals who do insane things in the name of God.

How do we respond to this issue? How can we take steps for peace? How do we unite without inciting a religious war between Christians & Muslims? Who knows!

Some Thoughts

I just picked up Brian Mclaren's new book The Secret Message of Jesus : Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything. I DO NOT like the title. But I have a feeling that I will love the book. I'm going to read it on our trip to cali.

I'm hanging at New World Cafe this morning trying to wrap up some business issues and a billion other "small" things before we head off into the sunset. We are tired, but excited. I'm looking forward to hanging with everyone tomorrow night, but I also know its going to be hard to say goodbye. I see the tears now :)

Last but not least, I was told by the great Wahba that we could crash at his place in the desert under one condition. If Duke is playing in the NCAA championship game, we would have to depart the home so Jodi could watch in peace & silence. That's what people would do for me when the Lakers were in the championship games. They would leave the house, or stay in their rooms and hope that the Lakers would win so I would be in a good mood. I'm not sure if I'm a good friend or not to the Wahba's. I'm praying that they stay in the desert (sorry guys) and that Duke losses in the final-four so we can hang out together :) Hmm. Of course, after reading this email, maybe they will decide we should get a hotel and find some new friends :)

Peace & Love
