Pirates

There are not many movies out there where the third one in the series is as good as the first two. Spiderman, is a new release that would fit that bill. Some of the successful trilogy's or sequels would be, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc... We now have another one to add to the successful list. The Pirates of the Caribean has, once again, outdone themselves. This movie rocked. There were some weird parts, but over all this movie rocked.

Seeing it in a theater at 2:30 in the afternoon, and the theater is packed is always a good sign you are on to something good. There were so many twists and turns you were on the edge of your seat the whole time. I would recommend this to the masses and beyond. Be warned, it is a 3 hour long movie so pay the sitter a little extra if you are going to try to squeeze dinner in there.

Not a bad discription

I got the following from an article in Christianity Today titled Five Streams of the Emerging Church

To define a movement, we must, as a courtesy, let it say what it is. Eddie Gibbs and Ryan Bolger, in their book, Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures (Baker Academic, 2005) define emerging in this way:

Emerging churches are communities that practice the way of Jesus within postmodern cultures. This definition encompasses nine practices. Emerging churches (1) identify with the life of Jesus, (2) transform the secular realm, and (3) live highly communal lives. Because of these three activities, they (4) welcome the stranger, (5) serve with generosity, (6) participate as producers, (7) create as created beings, (8) lead as a body, and (9) take part in spiritual activities.

First Blog

This is not the first blog I have done, just the first one I have taken ownership of. I am part of a great community that has started this blog trend and it's catching on like wild fire. our community meets on Sunday mornings, and is led by an awesome band with way too much talent for a little group our size. If you haven't guessed it by now, we're a church. If you really did not get it, then come with me on this great ride.

I don't want our community to be a church. I have found that there is more to church than just coming to a building on Sunday, singing, giving some money, listening to a guy talk while coloring on your program. NO way am I going to be part of that! And I'm not! Our community does meet on Sundays but is also outside Sunday's meeting house. We meet while feeding Tucson's less fortunate. We meet while cleaning our neighbor's yards, that they can't get to for what ever reason. This is just the beginning. But I hope there is no end to this great community. Have a great evening.
