i used this video at tapestry sunday night for an intro to the sermon. it looks pretty somber at the beginning but i think it turns it to a positive, grace orientation at the end. may 2010 not be ruled by our regreats.
tapestry 1.3.2010
first, above is the scene from “the mission” that i mentioned tonight at tapestry. it is my hope that 2010 is a year in which we allow JESUS to free us from the garbage we drag around.
secondly, i love the threads. after our gathering tonight i had three pretty important conversations with people. these took about 40 minutes. by the time i walked back in the gym/auditorium/”whatever we call it” every thing was torn down and put up and people were talking and goofing off (anthony was jumping on a mat and making it fall down which sacred me to death). i love knowing that i’m not really needed because it always seems that things are done better when i’m busy.
a great shirt
surfing around for some new slides to display in the loop before tapestry each week (i make a few and i “”acquire” a few every now and then) i found this shirt. it was an idea for a CHRISTmas outreach at table rock fellowship. it made me smile.

my goal for tapestry
if the simpsons were from estonia?
an estonian tv program decided to show how the simpsons intro would look like if they were an estonian family. pretty sweet.

sunday 1.3.2009 @ tapestry
if you’re coming to tapestry this week i have a request of you. would you mind bringing something to tapestry that has broken, you’ve broken, or has just been in your way over 2009 and (this is the important part) you would like to get rid of. it needs to be something that you would be okay with it being destroyed or given away to someone else. it needs to be something that you don’t mind getting rid of – it’s even better if you really want to get rid of it but you haven’t been able to get rid of on your own.
i hope to see you sunday.
tubing @ sylvan park
the above shows what the terrells and our friends the turners did last night. it is sylvan tubing park in wausau and i would HIGHLY recommend it. $7.50 for your lift tag and equipment and all the tubing you can handle. it was amazing. woohoo!
the handmade touch
a thread wrote me a note this week that made my month (possibly my year). the note was really great but i wanted to post the above photo which is a scan of the card the note came with. it is a handmade watercolor made by the person who wrote the note. i just think it is so cool that she took the time to produce something personal rather than just sending an email or even a note card. it was so much cooler knowing that she took the time to paint something to then write on.
i may just have to learn from jan and try to write a few notes in 2010 on the back of things that i have produced. these will probably have to be photos since i don’t really paint.
is this sad?
a long time ago socks would have been some of the worst CHRISTmas gifts i could have received. invariably i always received a few pairs from my parents but i was never excited about them (sorry mom and dad but i was a kid). it really must be a sad statement concerning my age that i was excited about receiving two pair of socks this CHRISTmas (thanks parents and in-laws).
i have truly become old when warm socks bring a smile to my face.
SIDE NOTE – the above socks are x-socks winter run socks. while i haven’t run in them yet and therefore can’t speak to how good they are on a cold winter run, i can say that wearing them around the house they feel amazing. kind of like compression socks. and added benefit is that the are labeled “l” for left and “r” for right so as long as i’m not wearing shoes i will always know what side is my left side.
unfortunately i did not notice the “l” & “r” when i was putting on the socks for this photo 🙂
