One of the highlights of Passion 06 was the prayer journey. The prayer journey consisted of ten prayer stations in a room illuminated by candles and indirect light, with soft worship music playing in the background. The stations were very meaningful, especially the ordering of what to pray for from the start to the end of the journey. I spent somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour going through the journey. I haven’t been in the habit of taking extended times for prayer, but I can tell you that I will be working on setting aside more time for prayer. It says in the Bible that “you do not have because you do not ask” (James 4:2). I don’t want that to be true in my life!

On a related note, if there’s anything that I can be praying for in your life, please send me an email.

The last main session at Passion was a very emotional time for me. Louie Giglio talked about personal calling, focusing on how all Christ followers are called to be full time ministers, regardless of occupation. He explained how we’re instructed to reflect Jesus in our whole lives, whether we are called to be on a […]

This morning: Small family group with just three of us, but the best one yet. Because there was time set aside to do eight people’s worth of sharing, we were able to actually have some good discussion with everyone involved and then an extended time of praying for each other and praying for the day. […]

This morning: Family group was interesting this morning (5 girls + me, but still a cool time). Worship was good again with Chris Tomlin leading. Louie took a cheap shot at all of Chris’ over used songs. Chris responded with new songs. I do have to say that I really don’t see what the hype […]

I will continue to write about what happens at Passion 06, but I’m going to focus more on the people I see, new people I meet, community groups, and breakout sessions. For what goes on in the main sections, Louie and the Passion team’s continued blogging at http://268blog.blogspot.com/ is more complete than what you’ll find […]

I need some sleep, so I’m not going to write much tonight. Main session with acoustic worship, Louie Giglio’s teaching, prayer triangles, Charlie Hall leading worship. Community groups (the size of a normal conference) and family groups (8 people). Also got to go to a Hymns: Ancient and Modern concert as a late night event.

Just a short post to let you know I’m still alive. Hope that everyone had a happy and safe new year’s celebration. I’m starting off on my way to the Passion conference in Nashville. The weather looks like it will be wonderful, and I’m very excited about the conference. If I have internet in the […]

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light, on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy, they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. For as in the […]

The current threat advisory system is inadequate. I mean, what does low, guarded, elevated, high, or severe really mean? I think this site has a good alternate interpretation of the system. UPDATE: Even better terrorism alert system:

Three things you probably didn’t know about me: My cell phone is named C-Pochalypse. Pierce gave me the nickname C-Pochalypse during Physics 2306. I didn’t learn any physics in Physics 2306. I’ve been thinking about making posts like this more often (weekly?), where I tell you three loosely related facts about me that you likely […]
