I'll post information here but we'll also develop other media outlets to broadcast details and updates.

Praying now...

Steve, I'm with you on this. Both personally and as lead pastor here at Christ Church, the need for evangelism to become a more regular and organic part of my life is very much on my heart and mind as the year begins. I look forward to posts to come and know that you've got guys in the foxhole fighting the same battle.

Steve - this is a fantastic idea and your blog casts a broad enough net to provide all of us with a great resource for an area of ministry that for whatever reason lacks such resources.

It's sad because you don't want shows that you love to completely go in the tank and while I popped when I saw the trailer that had Tony 'back from the dead', I'm skeptical and wondering if the entire franchise isn't going down the toilet. That said, I'd much rather Season 7 get here so we can all make our own evaluations.

Steve - While I have no confidence in the ability of this year's version of the Cubs to pull through, they are making it fun. The 5-4 win on Wednesday was fun to watch - first game that felt like a playoff game during the regular season since the Cardinals series in September 2003. And amen to Danny's comment about Dusty Baker. I know he's created in the image of God but that man earned more than a few imprecatory prayers as our manager.

Day late and a dollar short, but Sufjan's Christmas collection is growing on me. I have to admit that I don't really get the hype about him, which as a 31 year-old usually buys me alot of strange looks from all the cool kids in my church. There are still moments when I listen to some of the songs and wonder what the appeal is, but I'm really enjoying some of the arrangements... Also, just so Matthew has someone else on here recommending the 'Your King Has Come' CD, I'd encourage you to buy it immediately, along with Matthew's solo CDs and his projects with Indelible Grace. Very, very good musically and lyrically.

I was hoping we'd get Joe Girardi and I'm concerned that Lou is just an angry Dusty Baker who is apt to abuse his pitching staff (and please, please, please don't bring back Larry Rothschild as pitching coach) and doesn't know what to do with younger players. I'll take A-Rod if we don't have to get rid of A-Ram at 3B...
