The tagline for the Branch is: loving God, loving others, following Jesus. It’s no coincidence that loving God and others are (according to Jesus) the first and second greatest commandments.

The other day I picked up a book called the Jesus Creed, which is written by Scot McKnight. I’ve been following his blog for sometime now and I really appreciate his thoughts. I’m starting to read the book to see what he has to say about what he calls the Jesus Creed (and what we’ve made the tag for our community). I’ll post thoughts as I process it. Peace

One of my favorite places to work is a little dive called La Flor. It is this wonderful little restaurant near the corner of Burton and Eastern. They serve breakfast all day, brew a good cup of coffee, and have free wifi! I’ve been getting to know and love the owners, Jose and Lisa, lately. And so, today when i went in to La Flor today and saw that they had been broken into over night it really broke my heart. Somebody threw a rock through one of their windows and waltzed in and stole the video projector attached to the ceiling along with the screen on the wall. Jose and Lisa have expressed that the life of young restaurant owners has been difficult as off late. They really didn’t need this.

As I was talking with Jose about this yuckiness, he wondered if i had met two gentlemen who were sitting at another table. No, i replied. Come on, I’ll introduce you, they’re reverends too he says. And so, even on a crappy day for Jose, he saw fit to introduce me to Geoffery and John, two of the coolest pastors i’ve met in a long time. They chaplain at the truck stop for cryin out loud! I sat down and was blessed by these guys and when all was said and down they proceeded to pay for my lunch… I love this job!

So, i just got my shiny new PBG4 12″ which has a nifty feature called dashboard. WPdash is a really handy way of updating this blog (that is if this actually works).

I plan on really getting started now on this blog, now that i have this laptop.

am about to press ’send post’…. here goes…..
