the G sides

Got your attention? I wonder how many filters are going to let this post through??
I’ve been reading a couple of blogs religiously - pun intended - that I have to pass on. I’ll update my blog roll later tonight.
The first one - nakedreligion.com
Today’s topic - church membership. I love IT!!!!! He argues […]

I will now put on my uniform czar title and hat. Mainly because the update on the NFL uniform ranks is coming…it is a playoff tradition on G’s Rants.
But first - a litte warm up for us all.
This junk here on the right. This photo shows 2 of the most hideous football uniform mistakes […]

One week of blog fasting…didn’t know if it was Grantly possible.
It is. Now I don’t have to prove that again.
What I got out of the time —-
Spent more time reading and writing in journal. Never a bad investment there.Spent more time in thin places/God moments.
I also got a yearning for a ‘return’ […]

What a great capstone to our Missions Month! Shack really did an outstanding job challenging us. Here is the sermon to download, here it is for iTunes.
My notes from Shack’s sermon:
In order for God to do what He wants to do in us and through us, He needs to know we love Him. He asks […]

We’re in Grove Hill - here’s a link to a satellite picture of where we are. It’s a little blurry…I guess south Alabama doesn’t deserve a sharp picture.
Couple of housekeeping comments…
Nixon - man, you honor me. Thanks for the nomination. I won’t win but it’s a honor to even be nominated…right? […]

We (Grace Church) will be “journeying” through Narnia this December - coinciding with the motion picture release on December 9th. I love the idea. I love the books. There are some major theological issues that we get to unpack with this series.
The rub is - the movie has to be good. […]

In an article that I don’t think could have been better written, the man-ability of handwarmers are discussed.
I emailed Paul Lukas - as it appears that we have a kindred spirit.
Other questions that I feel need to be addressed:
1. towels for anyone other than the center.2. hand whistles for the refs…what the heck? […]

Well, I think I’ve seen about the 3 ugliest quarters of football in Alabama history.
The last two of the LSU game and the first one of the Auburn game.
Is it a coincidence that those are the same quarters that Mike Shula forgot how to run the ball? I think not.
Good […]

Gary’s talk centered around two passages of scripture, Matthew 16 - where Jesus says that He will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail - and Matthew 9 - where Jesus says whatever measure of faith you have it will be done to you.
Gary said that Jesus is building his church […]

I’d just thought I would tell you all that. Inquiring minds wanted to know, I’m sure.
Other thoughts I am having…
I’m finally recovered from Alabama’s loss to LSU. Ready to destroy Auburn.
The only real metric measurement I’d like to see the US switch to is temperature.
Okay - maybe kilometers as […]
