There’s a lot going on these days…
I’m working on getting Walls Down Church established as a 501(c)3. We are working on Bylaws and articles of incorporation. I really miss this guy…
Tomorrow at 3:30 we will be closing the sale on our house in New York! I barely know how to act!
This weekend we (Sherri and [...]

Just got back from MERGE where Shawn cast some compelling vision and highlighted some amazing things that God is doing through Mountain Lake Church.
Now I’m watching Senators Clinton and Obama go at it in the Democratic Presidential Debate.
Next I’m going to watch The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest.
This is how how I keep [...]

We landed back in Georgia at 5 a.m. on Monday! After traveling all night in the back country of the Georgia hills I’m sure glad to be home. Tired, but glad.
Day Six
We went to Northbridge’s launch. It was exciting. They had 240 people on their first day. As we sat there, I realized, again, why [...]

Day Five
We ate lunch with some of our good friends here in this area. We ate at McDonalds so our kids could play. Man, I’ve gotta tell you… I’m hating eating any place but Skyline or Goldstar these days. It was awesome spending time with friends. We’re looking forward to getting up here!
I [...]

Day Four
It’s hard finding a school to meet in here. They want you to have a plan to build your own building within a year… and a contract on the land you’re going to build on. That’s a problem. Why? Because I don’t care if we ever own our own building. We’re not starting a [...]

Reading from Vintage Jesus this morning. This book, by Mark Driscoll and Gary Breshear, gives a fresh presentation of a historical, fundamental set of beliefs regarding our Leader, Jesus. I recommend it.
Anyhow, the authors threw out a line that grabbed me, and is worth sharing.
“As religious people often do, they read the Bible looking for [...]

Day Three
Rindy and I met with Tom Planck and Luke Dooley. Tom is the lead pastor and Luke is the students pastor of Journey Church. These guys were gracious and very insightful. I’m loving the community of church planters in the Ohio region.
I met with the principle of Little Miami High School. He was friendly [...]

Day Two
We spent several hours driving around Warren county looking for buildings for Walls Down to meet in. It’s amazing how economically diverse this area is! From rags to riches… literally.
We are focusing on the Maineville area. We feel a draw to this area. However, if there are no available buildings, we will simply move [...]

I can think of a lot of reasons why God shouldn’t use me. Quite frankly, I can think of more than a few reasons why it would seem He couldn’t use me! I’ll bet you can think of a few too (not about me… about you!)
Reading this morning in the Bible, I ran into a [...]

Someday, after Walls Down is started, we’ll look back on these blog posts and say, “Ahhhh… I remember that!”
Day One
We were late for every meeting! I’m not sure how this worked, but it was pretty frustrating!
Before we were in the area 24 hours, we have already eaten @ Skyline Chili! I can’t wait until this [...]
