So, I’ve been wanting to write more about just my everyday life on my blog.  You know, because, my life is that interesting.  Ok, well maybe it is to me.  It is!  Really!

Anyways,

I just got two new albums this week, I think they will be ones I listen to for a while.  The first:

Foo Fighters Echos, Silence, Patience & Grace

Good album, I like it a lot.  I have recently been turned on to the great music of the Foo.  Though this is my first Foo album and I probably have little credentials to rate or recommend their music, I’m going to anyway.  It’s great stuff, go listen, and maybe buy.

The second:

David Crowder Band Remedy

Great album, a little different than their last two albums.  Still a very good album though.  The two songs I am currently enjoying the most are Can You Feel It and O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing.  Listen to this album, and buy it on iTunes because they are currently the #5 top album currently on iTunes.  Let’s see how high they can get, just for the heck of it.

What are you listening too?

More on Community….

I’m not sure what my fascination with community is, but here is some more stuff from that Metamorpha book I’ve been reading.  First though, I want to show a verse that Strobel uses as part of the point and importance of community:

John 17:22-23 – “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me”. (emphasis mine)

What stands out to me is, “perfected in unity”.  I see that as our community with one another is what helps us along in our journey towards Christ-likeness.

Strobel says “It is through that various levels of community that we can come to understand how blind we often are to our own presuppositions and assumptions about the world, about the church, or even about our place in history”.

Everything we do affects one another.  Yeah, ok, that’s not a new point, we all know that.  Right?  How much do we know?  A lot!  It is one thing to know, and one thing to live with this as part of my worldview.  Think about how many things we do now, not thinking about others past and others future.  How we treat the environment affects those to come after us.  The way we do “church” and the we way we act as leaders in the Church will affect those to come.

The question I ask myself now, is how should this change the way I live?  How should it change the way you live?

Where I have been….

Well, I got married about 3 1/2 weeks ago, so I’ve been busy learning about being a husband!  Also we have no Internet at the house right now, so it has been hard to blog.  I have a few minutes on the web right now and thought I would throw up the link for our wedding pictures.  So if you would like to check them out click here http://www.flickr.com/photos/adam_hann/sets/72157601871274715

Anyways, until a later time when I have more time to blog,

peace,
