Archives For September 2008

Bought Jess a new “True Identity” TNIV Bible today at Garden of Readin’. I’ve been eying it for a couple weeks and finally made the decision today to upgrade her Bible she’s been reading since High School!

She was very surprised and pleased!

Good work, me.

It was a new experience buying a Bible for someone else. Sure I’ve bought boxes of “giveaway” Bibles and the occasional graduation gift Bible, but buying a Bible for my wife really took some unique discernment, thought, and research.

If it’s true that women use more words everyday than the average man, then it is probably also true that their Bible’s need more words too – as noticed in these “women’s Bibles” with stories, ideas, and devotions scattered throughout!

With the news of Pastor Michael Guglielmucci’s faking having had cancer for the last 2-years, my mind drifts to sorrow for this man and what repercussions this announcement will do to him personally, his family, and his future.

My prayer is that genuine repentance is taking place and that the Church will live-as-Christ and restore this brother as his repentant-spirit allows.

So, apparently Youth Specialties has declared September 6th as national Youth Worker Appreciation Day. That’s kinda cool! Appreciate YOUR Youth Worker on Saturday!

::UPDATE::
If you don’t know how to appreciate your youth worker, consider one of these!
