I enjoyed reading the short book Believe: The Words and Inspiration of Desmond Tutu. It’s a great little coffee table book filled with thought-provoking quotes and inspiration from this man who is an incredible gift to our world! Here are a couple of those quotes to whet your appetite:

“In a happy family you don’t receive in proportion to your input. You receive in relation to your needs.”

“My father always used to say, ‘Don’t raise your voice. Improve your argument.’ Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right.”

“Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.”

“We humans can tolerate suffering, but we cannot tolerate meaninglessness.”

I’m not a big soccer fan, but here are two sweet goals from this weekend – one is a corner shot directly into the net by David Beckham, the other is a perfect pass and header by the USA women’s team!

This weekend at Southwest Community Church our Lead Pastor, Bob Thune, announced that after 7 years, he is resigning. Thune’s tenure has “been highlighted with high moral integrity and a deep commitment to the word of God,” elder board chairman Don Bennett told the congregation. While these moments are sad (as we well know), there is also the anticipation of God turning the page and the beginning of a new chapter, so for that we are filled with hope and anticipation. Here is a writeup on MyDesert.com. Please keep our church in prayer during this season of transition.

One of our Smothtown Gospel Tabernacle friends, Jane Snyder sent me this new video of her son William’s band, One31. They have a great sound! Watch the video and Like it/Comment on it.

Today someone asked me about these videos that we made for the Winter Retreat 2010, so I thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy the creativity and work of Planet Impact (written by the legendary Michael Troche).
