The questions are coming…”What can I get you for Christmas?” If you’re interested in missions, why not check out a book by a missionary about missions? Add it to your wish list on Amazon. It’s also available on Kindle if you prefer the digital format.

Something for your wish list
November 29, 2009Lifetime Original movies
November 27, 2009Well, I don’t actually watch the channel (honest I don’t!) but we heard a speaker who had a movie made about her life by Lifetime. Liz Murray said…

November 10, 2009Jon Acuff spoke at National Youth Workers Convention in Cincinatti last week. He’s the author of the hilarious blog Stuff Christians Like. Here was a rather poetic musing by him about using humor in our sermons to kids.
“It’s easier to scan the clouds for ideas than to chum the water for sharks.”
