I want to brag on my fiance real quick befor I head to bed.
She has a great post on her blog today about the church across the street.
If this doesn’t hit you between the eyes, I don’t know what will:
It’s sad to think that an abortion clinic is more open and friendly than a church.
GM has announced they will be presenting a newly retooled hybrid car at the Detroit Auto Show in 2007. The car will run 20-30 miles on a charge and then the gas powered engine will kick in and recharge the battery.
20-30 miles? I could get to and from work for two weeks on that. Awesome.
Read more.
Here’s to hoping they don’t scrap it like they did their first electric car.
treehugger has found a great idea for a combo coffee table/bed. Forget the pullout sofas. How about a pullout coffee table.
At a price of $900 for a pretty thin mattress I don’t see this taking off to soon. But I bet there are some handy woodworkers out there that could put one of these together pretty easily.

One of my fav teachers :: Erwin McManus :: is interviewed on relevantmagazine.com – check it out! Heres some quotes…
I have a huge sense of concern, because a lot of the postmodern conversation seems to be incredibly self-indulgent. It’s about: “how do I connect to God?â€; “how do I create an authentic community for me and my Christian friends?†It seems that the questions are wrong. We keep asking, “How do we create postmodern churches?†rather than asking, “How do we serve and reach the postmodern world? //…I have so much confidence in the reality of Jesus that I feel no pressure to try to make people act or be a certain way. I’m banking everything on the fact that God actually changes people. For me, I don’t do what I do because I have to. As well, I don’t make my life choices because I worried about judgment or anything like that. For me, my whole motivation in life is love. And ironically, I know a lot of people think that to be irreligious means that they cuss a lot or drink a lot, and that’s where we are finding our freedom. But actually, what is happening is we’re finding safe ways to be risky. If you really want to be risky, do something that is genuinely valuable and risky at the same time. I don’t need to smoke a cigar to feel fully alive. I felt fully alive when I was in the middle of the Hezbollah.
Interesting thoughts. Comments? Questions? Problems with what McManus is saying? Do you feel the same about Christianity today?

Another great service at encounter this morning. Be sure and take a moment and listen to the podcast if you weren’t there.
Life is filled with storms. They come mysteriously and without warning. Storm Chasers put themselves in harm’s way in order to learn more about them. Listen to the story of how one couple at encounter survived the loss of three loved ones in an eight month period. Listen to how God sustained them and gives them strength three months later.
