Are you my Daddy?



Try this thought stream on for size.



Where as Children are always looking for affirmation...

and where as historically Children have received said affirmation from their Dad...

and where as psychologists almost completely agree that the majority of a child's self-esteem comes from their interaction and encouragement from their fathers...

and where as our society has a complete and utter vacuum of healthy male role models, and even fewer father figures...

and where as the internet, blogs, chat rooms, my space, youtube, lavalife and the like have now replaced the personal affirmation benefactor in the lives of children (old and young) world wide.


Be it resolved that from this moment on we officially change the name from the internet and begin to call it by the name indicative of the purpose it is serving worldwide...DAD.

Has Daddie been replaced by Google?

oh come on...be bold...think about it...it's dark, you've caps locked your home you are tucking your children in bed...they have logged off for the night and are ready to let their screensaver take the daily images away...you gently backspace their sheets under their mainframe, set their real player playlist with some calming and soothing music that will help them defrag their day...

Until they can esc in the morning...and press start to a new day...

tickle tickle...google loves you...

A Discussion about the "H" Word.

I have a question to all those associated with the emerging generation in the church. I was challenged today that the entire reformation that is occurring within the Christian church today is actually the great falling away described in revelations...

Any thoughts?

The reason I ask is because there seems to be a complete absence of the word Holiness in the lingo and the lifestyle of those who are leading the reformation... Have you noticed a low level of personal integrity when it comes to issues like drinking, swearing...and drug abuse... and other things that in other generations would be considered taboo?

Are these now social norms and as such are covered by the bibles understanding of Matthew 15:11... (I have a hard time believing that.) or is this generation simply, under the ruse of "the creation of new worship" and "experience", rejecting the standards of behaviour that they don't choose to follow? Under the guise of being contemporary and relational have the reformers lost the holiness that Jesus describes when he asks us to also be holy?

I'm not convinced that this is the case but it sure begs a discussion. So are we the generation that is falling away or is the existing church in fact the ones who have rejected holiness as described in prophesy?

Now that I have offended all my friends...thoughts anyone?

Thought for the moment...
