Well, I wasn’t able to post this yesterday as intended, so I’m going ahead and pretending that today is Friday…only better! And since Dan Kimball is coming to be with us here in Columbia, Maryland next Tuesday, I thought I’d start with a focus on him.
Ever seen anyone get their hair cut in a church service? Well, Dan Kimball has done that and in fact, he posted an article about it on his own blog this week. Click here to read it. If you know anything at all about Dan, you probably know that his “hair” is kind of “a signature” item in his personna (my opinion, not necessarily his). But he has also used haircuts, among other things, to share his faith in Christ with unchurched and unreached people.
Dan’s student colleague and common friend, David Phillips, has posted 
several items about Dan on his blog over the years. In fact, David and Ed Stetzer have had some fun at Dan’s expense, too. Here’s a picture David created to envision Ed with Dan’s haircut. You can read Dan’s blog where he calls Ed out by clicking here. Hmmm, I’m not so sure rockabilly hair works for you, Ed.
In weightier issues, Stetzer chimed in on multisite churches this week in a significant way. As Ed points out “everybody’s talking about multisite these days.” You can see what Ed thinks, along with Alan Hirsch, and numerous commenters, by clicking here.
On other matters, Joel Rainey, author of Planting Churches in the Real World, posted an interesting item on his blog this week. He declares he’s figured out the “One Vice Guaranteed to Kill a New Church.” You can read about it here.
My wife, Joye, posted a new item on her blog this week about our children and a vacation trip we made to the Magic House in St. Louis. It delves into the issues of truth and shadow in life. Check it out here.
And finally, since it is Mother’s Day weekend, here’s a YouTube video about mothers that I have enjoyed. I hope you do too. Until next week…
