A day in the life of...Mark Williams

An Ole Miss post on Thanksgiving...wow!!

I wanted to share this video with you today.  Here is an "arch-rival" who gets it.  The story is one that is worthy of being shared!!  Enjoy this piece on Dexter McCluster, an amazing football player at The School Up North. 

What I'm reading, listening to...

Over the past few weeks, I have been reading more and more it seems.  Here are a few things that I have read or am currently reading:

If God Were Real by John Avant.  A no-holds barred look at what Christianity has become....and it's NOT good. 

Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  An absolute must-read.  We'll be going through this book for DT during Jan.-March.  

My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers.  I've never done a year straight in this.  Not sure I will this time.  I pick it up and it challenges the heck outta me!!  Love this.  Read it online HERE.

Stuff I've been listening to lately.

Hope Rising album by Fee.  He's probably my favorite worship leader.  

Church Music by David Crowder Band. 

I agree

Here is an EXCELLENT POST by Carey Niewhof, pastor of Connexus church in Canada.  He talks about the hardest thing he does....and I agree with him!!

hello again

Wow....lots of stuff happening.  ABC just called Nick Wolfe as minister of music.  Nick and his family will be a great addition to what God is doing here!!  Me and my family are excited about them coming to join us here!! 

Got me a dog shock collar today.  I got it off of EBAY.  I'm going to see if it'll help me train my wild and crazy dog.  I'd like to let her out a little more, but she's super wild.  We'll see.

This coming Sunday...I am starting a new SS class for younger couples and singles in the 20-early 30s age group.  This class constantly has to be re-created b/c, naturally, they get older.  So....people usually don't "graduate" to the next class.  They just move up together.  It'll be interesting to see how often this class needs to re-create. 

Crazy Love

I just finished "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.  What a great book.  Francis has a distinct way of bringing hard truths in a way that is filled with grace. 

We're (Agricola Baptist) going to go through the book as a DT study starting in January.  I can hardly wait.  We've already been talking about how we're going to teach it, with some great "extra" stuff to go along with it.
