MISSION GALVESTON 2009

By now you've probably heard we're going to Galveston this summer. In the last two days, I've spoken with them twice and let me say they're excited about us coming! There's really only one problem - they can't tell us what we'll be doing until about a week in advance. "WHAT?" the planner in me says. "How can I ask people to sign on for a trip when I don't even know what I'm asking them to do?!" I've had that conversation with myself numerous times recently. I've even had that conversation with some of you who are planners too (you know who you are!).

A powerful dialogue

On April 8th, I wrote about a conference I attended in New Orleans with Dr. Bart Ehrman as a speaker. I wrote to you that Dr. Ehrman had at one time been a Christian but has since renounced it. He offers us a little bit of why in a dialogue with Dr. N. T. Wright. If you're interested in reading a fascinating discussion on theodicy (the question of why God allows suffering), here's the link to it.
