It was at least five or six years ago when I first saw that monotone halo surrounding those curly locks on a mannequine at Urban Outfitters. “Jesus is my homeboy…” HA!  I laughed! My immediate reaction was… “yea… he’s definitely my homeboy too.”  Little did I know how radically diverse the reactions would be to this simple but powerful statement.

I’ve been talking about the concept of becoming a goer with a friend lately and have decided to put a few concepts in line prior to taking this to a larger audience. You, the faithful few who follow my blog will get to see it first.

According to a recently released report by the Barna Group, Evangelical Christians are finally getting on the Green band-wagon.  The cool thing to note is that, as I’ve mentioned in the past, we’re doing it for the right reasons.  Christians have a responsibility to be concerned for the environment because it’s GOD’S CREATION!

The way Christians handle issues regarding sexual orientation is always going to be a touchy (yikes)… how about difficult topic.  Let’s face it folks, we live in a fallen world… full of sin and broken people.  That said, I have to stand up and say how sick I am of the liberal, whacked out, flag burning… geez I need to calm down.

For those 2 of you out there that follow my blog regularly (okay, one is actually my wife but who’s counting), you know that I often reference posts from the Church Marketing Lab, aka churchmarketingsucks.com.  Lately I haven’t read a ton there that made me say “huh…” but one of today’s posts piqued my interest.

My wife and I have been slaving away in the backyard of our new rented home for the last few weeks and now that sod and pavers are laid, it’s time for us to quickly get our raised bed garden planted before the springtime planting window escapes us.  With that in mind I’ve been ripe with anticipation to reap the benefits of my home garden and have begun dreaming of the meals and dishes I plan to make with it.
