How do you relate to God when this world bears down on you? Are you angry? Are you sad? Are you mad?
Job lost his his house, his kids, his health, his friends, all his possessions. Listen to Rob Bell talk about Job’s response and our response in this NOOMA video.

The Codex Sinaiticus is now online.
Read this description:
“Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book [Bible].”
If you read Greek or just want to see the translation check it out here

If you are wondering what to do with all of your free time, a few fantastic peeps at Grace have collected a bunch of opportunities all together in one place for you to peruse and pick what you can do. There are places as far away as Guatemala and as close [to Indy] as downtown.

I know I’m a bit behind on this album from Charlie Hall, but I haven’t reviewed it yet so I thought I would for anyone who is interested. Even though it may appear based on my iTunes ratings that I don’t love it, that is not the case. I really do like this album! We even use a couple of the songs in our services. Specifically, we did ‘Mystery’ on Easter and it was incredible. We also do ‘You are God’ on a regular basis. On a related note, I really like Charlie Hall’s artistry in his songwriting. Although some of the songs are, in my opinion, hard for the congregation to sing, they are filled with poignant theological truthes.

Some of my friends from Grace Church are in a Band. They are called Tyler Bender Band. They are very generous. They are so generous in fact, they have offered one of their recordings for free.

Lanae Hale is offering her new Album Back and Forth for free at New Release Tuesday dot com. You do have to become a NRT ‘team member’, but that is also free and then you get notices about more free music!
So far I like the album. I’ll listen for a few more days before I give it a review…
By the way, NRT also has a GREAT iPhone app. Since part of my job is picking songs for worship celebrations, I use the app all the time to check for song lyrics on certain themes.

I have been wanting a way to put audio onto this blog for some time now, but in all honesty, I am too cheap to pay the upgrade fee. (I know, I know…)
So, I am going to be testing out some different audio plug in / linkage and see what works.
