See a need, meet it
November 27, 2008
I was browsing through my daily RSS feed from Denver and came across this amazing story. It’s about three University of Colorado students who went to Uganda, Africa over the summer to volunteer with an orphanage. Well during their time there something unexpected happened. Read more
A Month of Gratitude, Day 5
November 27, 2008
It seemed appropriate on Thanksgiving Day, the day we gather together and express thanks for all the blessings in our lives, that I share the next installment of my ‘Gratitude’ series. Today the thing I am most grateful for, aside from my relationship with God, is my wonderful family – Kate, Ethan, and Andrew. My family means the world to me, and they are the fifth thing I am grateful for from my time at North Point. Let me explain. Read more
A Month of Gratitude, Day 4
November 24, 2008
When I walked away from the church in high school, my decision was based, at least in part, in the belief that I didn’t really need the church to have a relationship with God. I had seen the irrelevance and the hypocrisy of the church and decided (with the certainty that only a teenager can have) that I could live my life and maintain my faith just fine without the church. The next ten years taught me how wrong I was about that. The fourth thing that I am grateful for from my time at North Point is that this is where I learned how to live life in community. Read more
A Month of Gratitude, Day 3
November 20, 2008
When I started this series, I had a map in my mind of how I wanted to communicate all the things I’m grateful for from my time at North Point. I wanted to first go through a list of all the things I’m grateful for that have personally shaped my faith. However, I’m going to take a slight deviation from that plan to share that the third thing I’m grateful for from my time here at North Point is days like today. Read more
A Month of Gratitude, Day 2
November 19, 2008
As I mentioned in my first post, I grew up in a church tradition that put a lot of emphasis on personal salvation. Obviously I’m grateful for that. I met with my pastor when I was twelve, prayed a prayer to accept God’s gift of forgiveness of my sin through Christ, walked down the aisle on Sunday (as Just As I Am played in the background) to publicly dedicate my life to Christ, and then was baptized a few weeks later. The problem was, my faith never grew past that point, because in the tradition I grew up in, that was the primary goal. At North Point I learned there was way more to faith than that. Read more
A Month of Gratitude, Day 1
November 18, 2008
Yesterday I sat down and did some math (total number of work days until the end of the year, minus holidays, minus vacation days) and figured out my last day at North Point will be December 17th. One month left. Gulp. Until now, the end of my seven-plus years here has been in my mind as a nebulous point out in the future somewhere, but now the end has a date. As this reality sank in last night there were multiple emotions, but there was one that rose to the surface and dominated all others – gratitude. Read more
The Church has left the building
November 10, 2008
As Kate and I have been looking for places to buy or rent in Denver, we’ve come across a surprising (and somewhat depressing) phenomenon – old churches being remodeled as homes. Just today Kate emailed me another one she found on Craigslist – a Methodist Episcopal church built in 1871 and converted several years ago into condos.
First of the “lasts”
November 9, 2008
It has begun. The beginning of the “lasts.” This past Thursday was our “last” Fall at the Farm, which is a fun annual event where all North Point Ministries families get together for some bbq, sweet tea, cotton candy, funnel cakes and lots of those inflatable jumping things. (Doesn’t that sound like an explosive combination?!) 
As we walked around, Meredith and I reminisced about all the fun times we’ve had each year (we recalled seven!), and how much we’ll miss all these people.
