Songs from a breaking heart.
Saturday, July 30th, 2005Found another poem/song in that folder that I almost burnt (but never got around to it) that I’d like to share (for some sadistic, exhibitionist reason…)
It was during a time that I think I was “counting the cost”, realizing the irresistablity of Grace, but not quite “ready” (willing?) to let go of my old life… […]
You and Me
Thursday, July 28th, 2005Last night, while driving:
Matt: So, what do you think of the new Lifehouse single?
Pat: I’m starting to like it. And that makes me angry.
Matt: Hehe.
Pat: I’m becoming such a wuss.
(Pat then flips through radio stations, lands on 102.5, where “Kissed by a Rose” is playing).
Pat: Speaking of being a wuss… I really […]
How do you solve a problem like…
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005Right now, Nancy is making herself a new purse out of some old drapery material she acquired somewhere.
I hear “The Hills Are Alive” playing somewhere in the background…

Songs from a broken heart.
Monday, July 25th, 2005Nancy ran across an old notebook of mine today while cleaning. I thought I had thrown it away a long time ago. (Actually I thought I had burned it…).
It contained a lot of “break up” poetry/songs that I had written at a very difficult point in my life (summer after my freshman year […]
Bible Geek.
Monday, July 25th, 2005Yessir, that’s me. “Why?” You ask. Not because I am a great scholar, or because I have large chunks committed to memory (something I really need to work on…)
But because I am excited about the ESV’s new reverse interlinear edition that is coming out soon.
waaay cool.
Heart Google.
Thursday, July 21st, 2005Heheh… do a Google Search for: Knapp Storms. Woo hoo! I’m ahead of ISU’s news service :)
Kinda funny.
Btw, Kirsten has a good round up of Knapp Storms photos, etc.
Dave has a nice round up posted as well.
I cried too, Kirsten…

Knapp Storms. I spent a lot of time in those dorms…

This was pretty sweet. Five large plywood walls, and a bunch of spray paint.
Can you find the two things I painted on here?

This was the stage for the July Jam Hip Hop festival for The Minneapolis Fish-a-thon. http://fishingforlife.org/
It’s just hard to argue with the pros when it comes to ratio of speaker stacks to lighting equipment…
A requiem for Towers
Monday, July 18th, 2005The Des Moines Register has a pretty good article on the Towers, two of which will be imploded tomorrow morning.
One quote caught my eye
The Towers have long been infamous incubators for relationships - from quick hookups to marriages to lifelong friendships.
Indeed. Indeed.
Burdock
Friday, July 15th, 2005Instead of spending a relaxing thursday evening installing Movable Type 3.2 on the notourhome.com server, thereby upgrading the software behind everyone’s blogs, I did some good hard yardwork.
Nancy informed me that the 4+ foot tall weeds in the back yard were starting to scare her, (something about yelling “FEEED ME!!!” to her every time she […]

The Windy City
Thursday, July 14th, 2005I just got back from Chicago. It was rather Windy. It was fun to see everyone and ride with Brad Barret there and back.
Here is a sweet photo I took while walking past the Sears Tower:
I am extremely bummed that somehow my phone’s camera setting switched to low res. I’m […]

How to Worship
Monday, July 11th, 2005Coming off the heels of my post about “The Great Commisssion”, and off of an article I just read about worship by the first Vineyard worship leader, I have been reflecting on comments I recieve when about worship (specifically, the singing/music aspect of it).
Most notably, people mentioning (complaining?) to me about how they do/do not […]
Make Development Aid History
Thursday, July 7th, 2005“For God’s sake, please stop the aid!”
-A not very oft quoted cry from an Kenyan Economics Expert
The One Campaign, and the Make Poverty History movements have bothered me for quite some time, and I’m not really sure I know why, other than the fact that I find it creepy when Movie Stars, Pop Musicians, Religious […]
“Obey all that I have commanded you.”
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
~Jesus of Nazareth, to his disciples, as recorded […]

Last week we traveled to Chicago to visit the SALT folk. Everyone seems to […]
Catching up
Monday, July 4th, 2005Sorry for the silence this last week. Nancy and I were at the Great Commission Pastors’ and Leaders’ conference. It was an amazing time.
Not only was it a great vacation and a time to meet up with some friends (some old, some new, some I’ve never met in person, and some I haven’t […]
