Don’t Blink

8.10.2012 — Leave a comment

To all the people who told me, “don’t blink” when Ella was born (and those who continue to repeat it at every family-milestone) –

I’m doing my best not blink (especially via my DSLR’s camera-shutter) and yet it STILL blows my mind how quickly she is growing up!

don't-blink

We had a wonderful day at DelGrosso’s Amusement Park in Tipton, PA yesterday with our Western PA District pastors and families. On our way home we replayed the fact that Ella has now been to DelGrosso’s for 4-years in a row and thanks to my proclivity of photographing such events, I was able to put the above image together quickly this morning. Thanks to my Mom who took the picture of Ella in ’09 during her first visit to the park that Summer!

I promise our breakfast table is as entertaining as anything else you could be watching on television while eating breakfast.

What a blast (get it?) we had this Friday evening launching an Estes rocket 6-times in a row over at the church!

I think this video gives you quite a glimpse into the Sheets family:

Love Chicken, Hate People? Love People, Hate Chicken?

I love this paragraph from an interview last March from Saddleback’s Rick Warren:

1 John 2:9 says “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.” I am not allowed by Jesus to hate anyone. Our culture has accepted two huge lies: The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

BOTH are nonsense. Which lie are YOU most susceptible to?

Healthy Debate on Creationism

7.31.2012 — 3 Comments

I usually don’t watch TBN (that statement probably deserves its own blog post), but I happened upon this 2-hour episode of their show, “Praise the Lord” that I think is worth sharing. I have had the privilege of watching (read: “listening in the background”) this episode hosted by Matt Crouch where TBN brought together some of the loudest voices in the ‘Creationism’ conversation for a healthy debate.

Personally, I side with Ken Ham and his “Bible-first” argument (how can we not?), but I think watching the debate is good for us as Christian brothers and sisters. I have much to learn in being ready to carry on difficult conversations like this!

If you can’t see the embedded video above, you can go here to watch the episode.
