The Rickshaw Commeth!

Wow.  One amazing milestone has been reached today, we have purchased the rickshaw! that's right, we have purchased a pedicab pickup that will be customized into the World's First Rickshaw Theatre!  The good folks at Main Street Pedicab in Broomfield, Colorado had a truck assembled and ready to go, so we said "We'll take it"!  This has been a dream for years, and it's amazing to see it coming about.  This Summer by God's grace, we will be on the streets of New York!

More milestones to come, funds for the customization of the Rickshaw, and for the covered trailer, but for this one step, we are grateful.  Thanks to all who have given and prayed toward this project, your desire to see this work come about has been nothing less than inspiring.  

The Iceman Commeth:

Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created this great public installation of hundreds of icemen figures. I love outdoor and public art.

God is Looking

"When God wanted to say the biggest thing he ever said, his eyes ran to and fro throughout the whole earth, looking for...a young girl hardly more than a teenager, whose heart was perfect toward him.  For the eyes of the Lord roam to and fro throughout the whole earth, looking for the man, the woman, boy or girl, whose heart, being perfect toward him, he may show Himself strong, on their behalf." 

- Major Ian Thomas

Are you poor in spirit, mourning, hungry for righteousness, merciful, peace-loving, persecuted and pure in heart?  God is looking for you, looking to show Himself strong, on your behalf. 

Merry Christmas!!

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall he comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake"

                

- Matthew 5:3-11

John Piper - How do you choose what Bible passages to memorize?

Piper says "My main reason for memorizing scripture is not to teach anybody anything, but to fight unbelief in my life, to fight discouragement in my life" Great reason!

Recollecting Our Self | The Noble Heart

Recollecting Our Self | The Noble Heart
A great blog post by Gary Barkalow, reflecting on Thomas A Kempis who writes, “He who learns to live the interior life and to take little account of outward things does not seek special places or times to perform devout exercises. A spiritual man quickly recollects himself because he has never wasted his attention upon externals. No outside work, no business that cannot wait stands in his way. He adjusts himself to things as they happen.” You will want to read the whole thing.

3/4 Give

3/4 give. Consider using your social media time to give something away.

One way of making your use of social media purposeful and redemptive is to use the majority of your content as an opportunity to give something away. Things like: the word of God, encouragement, something humorous, a recommendation, encouraging news, a point of interest, referring people to a helpful resource etc.


And by bringing the more banal updates to a minimum, things like "eating toast" or "waiting in line", etc and so forth. Although eating toast with the right folks can be quite encouraging :)
