One of my favorite local groups will be playing a free concert this Saturday (10.8.05) at Cosmos Coffee in La Mesa at 7 PM. The Gooses play a style of music that's impossible to classify except to say that it's fun. Dave, Sam, Jeff, and Jesse play a mix of music that just makes you smile. You can't find better music than this FOR FREE!I'm planning at getting there around 7:00 and hanging out for a while. For you LifePoint readers, you'll likely see them at LifePoint in either November or December for our local artist showcase.Let's pack the house and get goosed.

It sounds much more formal than it really is. What we’ll do is watch a movie together and then follow it up with an informal discussion about the spiritual implications in the movie. It’s amazing what you can pick up when you just pay attention.Our first Film and Theology night will start at 7 PM on October 14 at Jonathan’s house (5062 55th Place, near SDSU). We’ll be watching Bruce Almighty (who said it had to be a drama!).You’re going to do something anyway on a Friday night … why not eat pizza, watch a movie, and fine-tune your spiritual radar.

Week four at LifePoint has been packed up and we're already working towards week five. Each week we continue to make progress and move forwards -- this week being no exception. I'm humbled each week by the people who serve graciously and with a smile. Today we unveiled a few elements to our worship experience. Dee brought the first of five new original paintings she's doing that tie in with our theme. Our creative arts team put together a prayer station that helped people focus on the stuff they're building their lives with. Our music continues to improve.I made one slight change to my teaching style and read the Bible passages directly from my Bible rather than putting them on the screens. We really want to emphasize the importance of reading the Bible and felt like this would help reinforce that. With the exception of the times I've preached in…

Yesterday, I broke down and entered the world of iPods. It's the first money I've ever spent on anything made by Apple ... a sure sign of end times if there ever was one. As I age, I have started to become more intrigued by the Mac and Apple in general. So ... I bought this iPod (along with another iPod for Tonya) and have started putting my cd's on there. Actually, I first bought a few songs on iTunes (Lyle Lovett and Michael Tiernan) and have just now started importing songs. I can't see how these guys get 15,000 songs on there unless there's a way to batch load all 15,000. Which raises another question: who needs 15,000 songs?
