What a weekend!! Helena & I were invited for a time of R&R with friends in Northern Virginia, not far from Washington, DC and who attend church in the Baltimore area. As we planned for that ti...

Hi folks. Wanted to put forth some pix of what's been consuming a LOT of my time over the last several weeks. Hours and hours worth. And clean-up starts today. :D We had a smaller Advent Wreath ...

Helena asked for a couple of detail shots. My camera is not very good at focus & close-ups. Of course, it might be more of operator error, but hey. Here are 8 of the nearly 400 pens that will b...

I've been kind of scarce around here for the last six weeks or so. Been busy, busy, busy. Wanted to show off what a few woodturner clubs here in the Kansas City area have conspired to do together for ...

It was a very nice, small group of folks, toward the end of their event. I was a last minute substitute for someone who was unable to keep their commitment, but glad to be able to share. The folks are...

Yes, it was a very sweet time in most every aspect. Rare for conferences, even within only a single denomination. Someone recently asked me, "How do you determine if your ministry time was a 'succe...

Yes, I did get to meet them. Talked with Ralph several times, and with Mindy a couple of times. Sweet spirits. Popped my head into their sessions, just to see how they worked with the folks. They were...

One of the neat things that comes as an "overflow" of this event is that our pastor/bishop has asked me to share with our congregation about specifics of what went on in Las Vegas. Many of them know s...

<COLOR color="navy"><BIG>[big]There is such a strong push on prayer right now. The Holy Spirit is causing this call to intimacy in prayer to be proclaimed from pulpits and lecterns around ...

In one word? WOW!!! Just a note to share some of the amazing things that went on at the dance and worship arts conference in Nevada this past weekend. When we get pictures, I'll send along a link s...

We were invited back for another year, to the Spring 2007 Dance Clinic put on by Jireh Worship & Arts, part of the Missouri chapter of Christian Dance Fellowship. And, like last year, we had a gre...

Good to hear from you David. Glad to know that you're safe from the wiles of Larry. :yay:

I'll bet it's the remainder after stamping out sequins! That leaves an interesting sheet of stuff with perfectly symmetrical little holes. 2mm, 3mm, or 4mm generally, depending on the size of the sequ...

<SIZE size="5">Dean's Report... What can I say? It was a HOOT! :yay: The folks were responsive and really got into it. As Helena said, Sarah really prepped them for us in addition to givi...

Thanks to one and all for your interest and your kind comments. Yes, Etherea, the holly is indeed symbolic, both in leaf and in berry. It's an English custom to decorate the Advent wreath and indee...

This is a great source of wisdom from folks literally around the world in the worship arts and what is sometimes called extravagant worship. It's also a welcome oasis for many who find like minds or l...

Helena has more fun looking for fun and funny pix :jester: plus nifty little add-ons for the forum. Always bringing a smile to my face. Don't you love the hoards of Hell? :mob: When I first saw ...

Pretty darned silly. Good use of sillysmilies! :P

This is a really good list. Judson wrote 52 books. Most of them are really fine works that challenge us, especially as worshippers and extravagant worshippers. One of them, Worship as David Lived I...

I got an email this morning from one of several lists to which I subscribe. This came through WorshipIdeas.com, edited by Don Chapman. Tell me what you think of the concept. Have you experienced...

Joe Brown at FlagWorship.com is an amazing guy. We were privileged to minister with him about a year ago. He is dynamic and overflowing with energy. He moves well, with manly grace and power. Interest...

I received this from a Christian brother who lives with his wife and family in Jerusalem. He's been reporting and commenting on events and happenings in and around Israel. Very, very interesting histo...

<COLOR color="navy">I think I knew about it, but didn't pay much attention as we could not get there. Prayed for success and life and left it.</COLOR>

I was looking on line for a great shofar rendering for use on the front of a little pamphlet. Not productive, however, I did find a really interesting site. <URL url="http://dzeni.blogspot.com/s...
