Blame Your Equipment, or the One Swinging the Bat?
Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Sewell used only 1 bat in his 14-year career and struck out only 114 times in 7,132 attempts.

re-form: a sort of confirmation/sunday school curriculum
I recently came across this resource and wanted to look into it. After using one of their samples in my small group of 6th grade boys, I’ve concluded that this is great stuff! They target this curriculum toward 5th and 6th grade students and it worked beautifully. The video segment is memorable, full of information, […]

What does “I AM” want for Christmas?
“What does I AM want for Christmas? “The Wisemen brought Him gold, frankincense and myrrh. Stupid Wisemen! What would a baby want with gold, frankincense and myrrh? For that matter, what would God want with gold, frankincense and myrrh? “See? It turns out that God and babies want the same thing. “They want you!” – […]

The congregation is then invited to bring their gifts to […]

Dencity provides a color-coded representation of what 7 Billion people on planet earth looks like. As you can see, the United States is sparse when it comes to population density. Just look at China, India, and Pakistan as well as Indonesia, central Mexico (near its capitol), and central Europe. I live in a rural town in northwestern […]
