What is Truth?

Talking about truth and worldviews can be pretty confusing. It’s easy to get lost in the discussion and to give up and not know what’s going on. This happens because not only do we not talk about this very often, but its also easy to get mixed up with how certain words are being used and being defined.

Who do you look up to?

Last Monday we looked at what an "idol" really is and what are the things we tend to idolize in today's culture. There are four things we can worship, which one tends to occupy your thoughts?

CoffeeHouse Conversations: What is Truth?

Karaoke Night!

This past Monday was Karaoke night! We heard it all: Current hits and classics, 80's pop and Hip hop, Taylor swift and Michael Jackson. Some were good, and others we loved to hate. No matter if people enjoyed your song or not, thanks for having the courage to get up and sing!

American Idol--Who do you look up to?

The word "idol" isn't something we usually think about. Nor do we ever really believe that we have idols of our own. I mean, we can easily recognize the presence of idols in other peoples' lives, but when it comes to our own, we aren't too willing to admit anything.

My thoughts on friends

How many of you were afraid of going to high school? Not me, I couldn’t wait. You have to understand I was a super awkward junior high kid. I was a big time nerd. I spent a lot of time taking apart and repairing anything I could. I also had a hunger for adventure. I spent my summers building elaborate tree forts and exploring the suburban wilderness.

Family...

A broken family seems as abnormal as
a robin with no call.
It's a spicy jalapeño pepper
flavorless and dull.

A broken family is as undesired as
a newborn's heart suddenly stopping still.
Or like the sun never rising
over a Tennessee hill.

A broken family sounds as sad as
an owl in the moonlight
or the sharp winter snow in
the gutter, no longer blinding white.

My Manna Bag Experience

I was in the city, heading to my train when I saw a man standing next to the street begging for money so he could find some place to stay. I stopped, pulled out my manna bag and said here ya go. He said "this is for me?" As I was waiting to cross the street I heard him say, " these are my favorite granola bars!"
