Not Worth It
Don't be a dummy! Just like this dude who is about to be pulverized by a bull, don't let your culture talk you into doing stuff that has no real meaning and hurts. Meaningless stuff that draws crowds should be considered suspect. Imagine this dudes story in the hospital as someone says, "hey man, what happened?"
" I was running around in a circle trying to make a bull mad. He got mad and then he got me."
Don't be a dummy!

Don't Be A Dummy: Presidential Candidates
Don't Be A Dummy - neither of the media-made candidates represent the core values of Jesus. Notice I said media-made. Did you know there were other choices than Obama-McCane? Probably not.. There are other choices that are more closely aligned with the core values of Jesus, but they won't make the headlines, and for a good reason. They don't play well with power structure in Washington D.C.
When will the way of Jesus - the way of loving our enemies, blessing those that curse us, forgiveness, peace, authentic goodness (as opposed to hypocritical righteousness), and care for the down-trodden, poor, outcasts, and marginalized - become a political position for most Christians?

The Campaign to End Box-based Living (CEBL) is well underway.... It started as a creative idea a number of months ago. Now, with several members and a host of young people wanting to get involved, CEBL is beginning to rock the cardboard off of faces!

The Glory of the Mess
Wow... Man, I've created another mess. And I am glad. You know why? Because regardless of whether I meant to or not, something amazing happens when I make messes. Well, actually something amazing CAN happen because of messes - if we allow it. Now I'm not trying to glorify my mess here, don't get me wrong. But I do want to expose the Glory to be found in it.
You have made a mess before, right? Duh? Ever notice how doors can open, ways are made, intentions are checked, motivations are examined, and the heart can open to receive.... and it is in that opening of the heart that the amazing stuff manifests, if we will allow it.
What did I do, what is my mess you ask? Well, I would ask you the same thing. What is the mess in your life that might expose the heart to the state of receiving from God?
Let your mess be God-mess...
God Bless,
Matthew
