The time is here! Let me start by saying this has been a good blog for me for a little over a year now. Over the past year I’ve been thinking of different ways to make my blog different. I started toying with the ideas of creating a community that would engage and helping push each other forward in life.
Out of all of these thoughts came ExtraOrdinary Online. Now, I don’t want to go into to much detail about what it means, there is a whole page on the new site explaining why. I do want to say though, that this blog will cease to exist. I will not be using “adam’s blog” anymore for any of my updates. With that said, for those of you who use blog readers, please update your links! Below is a screenshot of where you can get the new link for blog readers on my site, it’s located on the right hand side. Also, you can subscribe by email, I’m figuring my family wil be more likely do that.
Blog Links
Well, I really hope that you come and visit the new site sometime today, it still has a few rough edges I’m working on, but it’s ready to go.
Make sure you check in here tomorrow. If time allows, you will all get to see my new blog! I’m really excited about this, I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
So, I had the privilege again to review another new book that is being released. I had a little bit of a time crunch on this one to get it read/reviewed on time because it comes out tomorrow!
Anyways, the book I read is Mark Batterson’s new book called Wild Goose Chase. This is a great book. I read it in about four to five sittings. It’s an easy read, but has a lot of depth to go back to and dig and find.
Without giving to much away, Batterson discusses the idea of the Holy Spirit being like a Wild Goose. He sets this up in the first chapter. The following chapters are different “spiritual cages” we get trapped in while we are/should be chasing after the Wild Goose.
These different hold ups he writes about share a lot of insight into the very things we struggle with. For example, the idea of being held back on our chase because of assumptions. When we start assuming what God can and cannot do, we are going to get stuck. This is a very shallow view of what he says about assumptions, but he really unpacks how it effects us and our view of God and the Holy Spirit.
Overall the book is very encouraging and inspiring, and at the same time has some very practical questions at the end of each section to help you unpack how the issue may be effecting you in your life. The book would be great for a group study or even for someone who is looking to for ways to help spiritual growth areas in their life. To find more resources and info about the book, you can visit the book site here.
You can find the book at amazon.com tomorrow when it is released.
I really recommend you checking this book out, I feel like it is a good catalyst for bringing back the adventure of following God. And if you want someone to discuss it with, feel free to send me a message!
So this week Amanda and I are on vacation with my family down in Deep Creek, Maryland. It has been a great time so far.
The craziest part is how cool it’s been. Since the nice front came through it has been in the 60’s yesterday and maybe today. So a little to cold to swim yet.
What I’ve really enjoyed is reading books and just thinking through all the different life changes over the past year, and those to be coming.
So, what will you do on 08/08/08? Apparently some people are going to get married. I’m hopefully going to take a sweet pic sometime during the day to add to this flickr group.
Have a fun 08-08-08 day. Maybe computers will crash around the world do to the redundancy in the code to produce 08-08-08. Ok, now i’m just saying stupid stuff, must be an indicator to head to bed!
So, Carlos posted on his blog today about Mega-Church myths. Since I’m working at a church that is considered a mega-church in our area, and hearing some of these same accusations, I thought I would link over to his blog. It’s a good read, check out the myths he busts.
