So this morning we had 2 sessions of breakouts with 8 different choices in each. I actually led one, “Film & the Jesus Movement.” It had a lot to be desired, in hindsight I tried to pack to much into 50 minutes. But, the word on the street is that the other breakout sessions were […]
Mark Lydecker challenged us to make our lives count for something eternally significant by giving ourselves to sharing the gospel with our friends on campus. Statistically, he shared, nearly 80% of those on campus are without Jesus. The question that should haunt our thoughts is, “What will it take to reach this 80% with the […]

I ran across a reference to this poem by Dick Lorrie while reading, once again, Reel Spirituality by Robert Johnston. It was featured in a closing soliloquy in the movie Smoke Signals.

Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often,

“That was sauteed in wrong sauce dude.” -The Eminent Theologian, Tommy Lee.
