Faithfulness

Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus call us to be successful. Greatly to the contrary, he calls us to be faithful--and faithfulness in ministry might result in failure according to society's standards. Much more important than numbers should be the depth of love and Hilarity and commitment engendered by our work. Much more valuable than crowds are persons who are being changed by the good news of God's love and the principles of the kingdom of God.

-Marva J. Dawn in Truly the Community: Romans 12 and How to Be the Church

Fall Fun!

Yearly photo of the kids in a leaf pile! Will had a lot more fun this year...




...than last year.




Hanging out with Superman





Snow White is sure excited!




Who wouldn't be with all that candy???





Will showing off his cape at a really fun party put on by some friends of ours in town. They organized some creative games like pumpkin bowling and bobbing for apples (however the apples were hung on a tree so as not to spread germs!).

Briercrest's new website

I just noticed that Briercrest has a redesigned website. It looks great! There's even a Professors' Blog now, featuring posts by various professors, including Eric!

I also noticed the current seminary class schedule is on the website here. If you're interested in checking out Briercrest, why not sign up to take a class? They are all taught as one week modulars, so it's easy to fit study into a busy schedule. I believe about half of the Briercrest seminary students live on campus, and half travel in for classes. We would love to have you!

Fast Food Folk Song

Eric recently linked to one of my favorite Rhett and Link music videos on his blog--called In The 80s. You've got to watch it--especially if you grew up in the 80s. Here's another one we really enjoy, where they sing their order at a Taco Bell drive-thru. These guys really make me laugh--good clean fun.
