We’re 5 days away from the long-awaited Presidential election, so I figured I would go ahead and discuss a few political things I noticed during my trip. Even though the trip lasted a full year, I think the entire thing might have taken place during this present campaign. Weird. It …
Here’s a bouncy idea for loving on college students who are away for the summer! Did you know that you can mail a lot more than just boxes through the Post Office? It’s true! Hopefully, you’re already planning to send your “away students” something while they’re spending the summer at …
Yesterday, I began the tale of my crazy night last Monday, as I attempted to view presidential politics in action at the University of North Carolina. Regardless of my own political leanings, I do stay up with it all – and I’m exploring college campuses. So, an excellent adventure was …
A few days ago I wrote about some opportunities to enjoy politics as part of the “locality” of various cities during this trip. However, I had yet to see some real “political action” on any college campus – no debates or rallies or even too much real political activity actually …

Yesterday, I noted the recent Lifeway Research study on church architecture and preferences among the unchurched. The study also looks at “third spaces” (hang-out spots) these guys and gals find preferable. So you probably want to read yesterday’s notes if you haven’t. And besides the “official” article linked there, here’s …

After I first heard about the movie, seeing the early trailer and Ben Stein attached got me pretty excited. I’ve learned (as we all have) to be a bit reserved in my excitement over upcoming related-at-all-to-faith-issues …
