David Dunbar has written a great article on biblical hospitality for Allelon. He states: “Christian hospitality is the art of sharing with others the gracious welcome that we ourselves have received from God.” Read the entire article here.

Joe Thorn offers an excellent post on 6 Rules of Cultural Engagement.

I know several of you that read this blog on a regular basis are in education at some level. Here is a good post by Aaron Ghiloni titled 10 Propositions on Education.

Rick Meigs at The Blind Beggar found the words to a poem by Adrian Plass titled “When I Became A Christian.” I have heard Michael Frost read this poem a couple of times on different podcasts. It is good to have a copy of the words.

This past weekend my son, Joshua and I drove to Springfield, IL for a great Relient K and Switchfoot concert. Here is a picture of each band from the concert.

While both bands put on a wonderful show, I was disappointed that Switchfoot didn’t play Beautiful Letdown:

It was a beautiful let down
When you found me here
Yeah for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear
I’ll be a beautiful let down
That’s what I’ll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I’ll sing for free
We’re still chasin our tails and the rising sun
And our dark water planet’s
Still spinning in a race
Where no one wins and no one’s one

I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I’m gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
I will carry a cross and a song where I don’t belong
But i don’t belong
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
Kingdom come
Your kingdom come
