irresistible

posted by adam on 11.15.2006

I emailed Shane Claiborne on Monday night to see if I could come and visit him up in Philidelphia at The Simply Way. I suggested flying up there for a weekend and just hanging out. You know, to see what it is that they do and see how it compares to what he writes about […]

posted by adam on 10.30.2006

Last week something happened that is kind of a big deal, and I didn’t even mention it. I posted the first e-book of curriculum to Disciple 13 Resources. It’s entitled “Leave No Doubt” and it is a study of the book of James written for a small group context.

posted by adam on 05.05.2006

“You are…a follower of a God who demands independence, the exercise of free will, and the exercise of intellect.

chaos

posted by adam on 03.23.2006

I am reading a story right now that involves an interesting element: the “Chaos Curse.” I have to admit, when I first read about it and its alleged effects I was unimpressed. The Chaos Curse simply exaggerates the true desires of one’s heart. Whatever is already there is highlighted. If you have a passion for, […]
