If you’ve wondered about St. Arnold’s beer, you’re probably not alone. The Houston micro-brewery is only 13 years old but was started by a man with a love of beer and making beer and a weariness of doing the same old job day in and day out.
I’m a big fan of their Lawnmower brew – especially on a hot day out in the sun.
Beer fan or not, Brian Armstrong interviewed the founder/owner of the micro-brewery and shared several unique perspectives Brock Wagner learned along the way.
They’re perspectives that can help in small or large business, ministry or life in general.

Mrs. Warren calls to help the AIDS fight
Kay Warren, wife of pastor and author Rick Warren told a Dallas audience that she initially considered AIDS a “gay, white man’s disease.”
But her mind and heart changed about five years ago when she read an article about the AIDS crisis in Africa.
Kay Warren, whose husband, Rick, wrote The Purpose Driven Life, said church congregants have the opportunity to be ‘the hands and feet of Jesus’ in the battle against AIDS.
“I was reading a news magazine about AIDS and read that 12 million children in Africa were orphaned from AIDS,” Ms. Warren said. “I didn’t know a single orphan’s name. I didn’t even know a single person with AIDS.”
Warren told a group of minister’s wives that the story of the leper who came to Jesus for healing changed her outlook on AIDS and compassion.

Norah Jones Sings Don’t Know Why on Sesame Street
I don’t know “Y” but they didn’t have cool artists like Norah Jones on Sesame Street growing up. I guess Elmo, Bert and Ernie were enough to keep me entertained though.

Get a little R2D2 rapping going on. You know what I’m saying in full effect?

Well if you live in North Texas you’ve likely seen the yellow flowers of the Mustard seed across the country side on back roads around the region.
Most of them are getting mowed over now or being overgrown by weeds, but my buddy “>Michael has some interesting observations he’s learned from his own mustard seeds. (Mike sent me some of my own mustard seeds a few months back but I believe they were lost somewhere along the move to my new place)
- The Mustard Seed I received were small but not minuscule.
- These seeds sprouted in two days: faster than any other seeds I have seen!
(Perhaps faith can sprout as fast when nurtured?) - This plant thrives in full sun.
(Faith thrives in the light of the Son!) - After several weeks of steady growth, the plant has sprounted little yellow flowers and is spreading out into other areas of my herb garden, with branches growing over some of my other plants.
(Perhaps the Kingdom of God is steadily gaining ground and branching out: “God’s Aggressive Love Finds a Way.” Voice of the Martyrs
