We’re watching the Cubbies opening game right now and I realized that the Brewers pitcher is Seth Rogan’s doppleganger.

This is very cute (via MarkO). Both my wife and I were tempted to stop watching this after the first minute or so. It’s definitely worth watching it all.

IJM Benefit Concert

Last year, Riverview hosted a benefit concert for International Justice Mission and it was amazing. This year, we’re doing it again.
Oh, and it is tomorrow night.
I’m stoked, both for the music and for the fact that we can support such a great organization. Here’s the info:
Men

Brett took some great pictures of some of the men in my family on Easter. Here’s a collage for your viewing pleasure. Click on the picture for a larger image.
From left to right the models are: Me, Ethan (my 7 year old), Kite (my quasi-brother), Hans (my brother), Jesse (my 9 year old), and Coley (my 4 year old). Missing men are Daryl (my brother), Patrick (my brother in law), Brett (my quasi-brother), and my Dad. Don’t know how they escaped the camera.
Praying
Mar 25, 2008 Uncategorized Hodge Podge
This weekend, during our services, we asked if there was anything we could pray for everyone about. Here was the answer:
So this morning the pastors and a few others prayed for every single request. Praying through these cards, I was reminded of this verse:
Acts 6:2-4 So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.”
Sometimes, it is so easy to get distracted with the business of “doing church,” that prayer for everyone in the church can fall by the wayside. If it happened to the Apostles, it can happen to anyone.
That’s why I am so glad we have amazing people helping out with so many areas of ministry. It helps the pastors spend more of our time on prayer and the Word.
BTW, did you know we are hiring right now for some part-time administrative and facility help?
Easter at Riverview

I’m sitting at my counter at home right now chilling with my two youngest boys, Ethan and Coley. It’s nice to rest after a very long weekend. Long, but great. The services at Riverview went very well and I met a ton of new people. Very cool stuff.
Last week we asked everyone in the busy services to consider spreading themselves out amongst the lighter services so there would be more room for visitors. And the cool thing is they did it! Our services were very well balanced.
But what really made the whole weekend for me were all the little conversations I had with people. So many people I talked with were struck with how much they need to focus on Jesus instead of on themselves.
Glad that message stuck.
OK, back to play Webkinz with the boys.

Grace and I have always wondered what real life would be like if it was a musical.
Now, thanks to this Improv Everywhere clip (via ysmarko), we know.
