Check out this quote by J.I. Packer that Justin Taylor sent me:
"In Acts 2-5 we read of a church with, it seems, no buildings of its own, with loose and sometimes improvised leadership, but with each member apparently pulling his or her own weight in the work and witness that went on, and the impact on Jerusalem was great. Around us in the modern West we see big church buildings--some of them housing four-figure congregations, and others certainly intended to house congregations of that size--often furnished with an impressive hierarchy of ministers and other officials; but the congregations, such as they are, are mostly passengers, and city life proceeds as if the churches were not there."--J. I. Packer, Keep in Step with the Spirit (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1984), 254

Record Catch with a Barbie Fishing Rod: This is a pretty funny story. Will you look at that fish? It's bigger than the girl. It's a good thing she handed it over to her grandpa. That catfish would have dragged her away.
Blue Like Obama: Popular Christian author Donald Miller will deliver the closing prayer at the Democratic Convention on Monday night. AP Religion Writer Eric Gorski reports that originally Cameron Strang, "the 32-year-old editor of edgy and hip Relevant Magazine," was scheduled to do it but had second thoughts and pulled out. "Citing fears that his bridge-building gesture would be wrongly construed as an endorsement, Strang said he instead hopes to take a lower-profile role, participating in a convention caucus meeting on religion later in the week." The article notes that Strang found Donald Miller, author of the popular spiritual memoir 'Blue Like Jazz' to offer the prayer in his place. (Hat Tip: Mike Allen) [Update: Here's a transcript of Miller's prayer.]
Modest Clothing Trend: Styles come and go. Could there be shift toward a more modest, layered look on the rise among women? An article entitled "Mom Shocked by Teen's Modest Clothing" at CNN.com says there is. The article says, "At the spring Paris fashion shows, Stephanie Meyerson -- trend director for youth culture at Stylesight, a retail forecasting firm -- saw a definite "moving away from overtly sexual" in teen fashion, especially through layering and comfortable baggy looks. "Girls are dressing for themselves, as opposed to dressing for guys," she said. "The guys might not like it but the girls are not wearing really tight shirts. They're covered up."

Great title! Sounds like the book has a much-needed message!
I just mentioned your book to my parents, saying I thought our pastor would like it. They proceeded to tell me that they'd sat next to someone from Multnomah on a plane, who was editing your manuscript! Dad said he'd read over her shoulder. :) (And they were sure they'd told me about it before, but I'm quite sure they hadn't.)
Anyway, my dad already has a preview, but I look forward to reading your book. :)

please pray for my brother. He cannot see and after 17 years contemplates leaving the church. filled with bitterness and anger he doesn't realize that this decision will effect generations to come. I am trusting in God for this precious family of mine. Please pray.
