Thanks to Robert Scoble for inspiring me to talk about Omaha's next generation of movers and shakers...

Check out the new blog a team of folks and I launched last week:

8.4 miles....

Just got back from biking 8.4 roundtrip, no stopping...well except when the wind was kicking my butt, but feel good for the very first time out this year!

...but yeah, so going to wonder about a new seat and some nifty goggles to keep my eyes dust free...it's west Omaha where they cut down the trees...should explain all you need to know...

“Being a Christian isn’t just about having better vision, but having new eyes. Jesus never talked to a prostitute because he never saw them as a prostitute.”

C.S. Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”

-C.S. Lewis

“would you rather your children grow up in uganda or america?”

I read this great post today on a friend's blog...very insightful and called out things in my own life that I think we really, REALLY take for granted...thoughts?

“would you rather your children grow up in uganda or america?”

this hit...

in uganda, you may not know where your next meal comes from. you have no money. you have nothing to depend upon but God. and i would rather have my children rely on God more than i would want them to be distracted by everything else.

The Sabbath

Read this great quote from Sojourners...

Sabbath ceasing [means] to cease not only from work itself, but also from the need to accomplish and be productive, from the worry and tension that accompany our modern criterion of efficiency, from our efforts to be in control of our lives as if we were God, from our possessiveness and our enculturation, and finally, from the humdrum and meaninglessness that result when life is pursued without the Lord at the center of it all.
