All week I’ve been tucked away at our cabin in Bellingham.  As I’m making final edits to a manuscript for Baker Books.  The book will be titled, Thy Kingdom Connected: What the Church Can Learn from Facebook, the Internet and Other Networks. 

Well, yesterday as I was working on the book and enjoying a cigar (as I’m prone to do), it was snowing so I moved into the garage.  And a reporter from the Bellingham Herald happened by.  The photo the reporter took made it into the online version.

I just returned from weekend retreat with a vox veniae in the happening town of austin.  Thanks Sam, Gid, Kevin and the whole crew for such a great time. Together we explored the concept of living as a glocal parish. 

I’ll tell ya, after a weekend of retreating and non-stop eating & pipe smoking, I think it may be time to reconsider my diet.  In addition to great food at the retreat I got my feed on at Rudy’s, Hoover’s, Trudy’s and even at Sonic – my first time

I ‘m getting ready to head down to Austin, TX to hang out with my friend Sam Lee (MHGS graduate) and his faith community, Vox Veniae for their annual retreat.  We’ll be exploring “The Global Parish;” as Vox has entered into a couple of interncational partnerships and are exploring ways of missionally extending their service.  I’m so looking forward to seeing Sam and meeting the community he’s doing life with.
