Today after the youth led service (which by the way, the young folk did very well) we assisted with setting up the rummage sale. And well...I'll try and show you the rest...
Haven’t reviewed a book in a while. So a miracle has happened and I have indeed finished a book and feel good enough about it to actually write something concerning it. Most of the time, when I finish reading a book I usually don’t have a strong compulsion to want to tell people to go out and read it right away. This however is not the case with “Wrestling With An Angel”. This book by author Greg Lucas has become one of the touchstone books of my life. I don’t think I am saying that too lightly. Greg Lucas operates a blog that I was pointed to by Jason Chang (hat tip engage). Gauging from how I responded to reading some entries in his blog, I clearly recall telling Susan right before I started reading, “Susan, I think this book is going to ruin me.” Wrestling With an Angel is a collection of short essays that Lucas has written, recounting experiences he and his family have with his mentally handicapped son.

It is very odd, the places you find yourself on a day to day basis in the Philippines.

If you've been around me recently, you might have heard me babbling about making a podcast...well...we're doing it! No really. I think we're going to do it. Here's an unedited look at the creative process that we went through in naming the podcast. The place the mp3 is hosted is a temporary solution for now until we're able to come up with our own hosting solution for the mp3's. I'll be posting updates here on the progress of each episode as we're producing it. Hopefully in the future though we'll be migrating blogs to our new domain name ProdigalRadio.com. Anyways, here are some of the things to look forward to from the podcast: Unique takes and discussion on a wide range of topics including: news, music, games, movies, technology, Christianity, and Christian subcultures Musical guests and interviews Profile interviews with special guests that you may or may not know Let me know if you guys have any topic suggestions, ideas, or criticisms.
