My S.H.A.P.E. is round…

Yesterday, our pastor invited me up to the pulpit/cafe table to have a little discussion.  It was preplanned, so it wasn’t like I didn’t know about it, but the only thing I knew I’d say that morning was my opening line of humor. It went a little something like this:

Nebby’s Giant Bunny…

Gospel Driven Church

No not the book, the blog.
Thinkling Jared’s new blog. He’s had a few and I’m glad to see him start this new one. His theological musings have always inspired and enlightened me. He has the awesome ability to write clearly, and make a point that sticks (and sometimes stings).
Here is a snippet [...]
