I wonder what kind of traffic I'll get with that title!A few recent things:Google AutoLink in the beta version of the toolbar. A lot of people don't seem to like it. I found it quite handy - I ordered a comfortable-looking Mayan hammock from Hammock Jungle, and the order confirmation in my gmail account had a UPS tracking number. Much easier to just click on the tracking number and have the UPS

After a strong showing in 2004, I decided to take a break for a few months. But I'm back, because I'm sure there will be lots of interesting news.For starters, check out the new Vineyard Xtreme site. The VX team section features some interesting bios. And I'm not sure how our webmaster did it, but the VX TV on the main page actually plays in the little window if you allow it to load (30 sec?,

While Timothy's brother remains in jail, I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been released! I was reminded of this fact while reading Hebrews this evening, and it seems a good word to end the year with. I've been released from the past, from sin, from missed opportunities, from fear and doubt. This past year has been quite eventful, how about some highlights by month: January:

We've heard that many children have been affected by the tsunami. This morning I ran across 2 items that speak to a Hope and Future for children this new year. Both can be found here, the first is from the Detroit News about how, "With little warning, director saves 28 orphans from tsunami" (in Sri Lanka). The second item is below the Detroit brief, titled "THE SAMUEL GENERATION -- A WORD FOR

After a long blogging-break, here's a picture of Cailin and I by our Christmas tree. We celebrated Christmas early, since she went back to Mt. Shasta and I'm going to Phoenix tomorrow. Cailin's probably the reason I haven't been writing recently, so you'll have to direct any comments to her. She's also the Gaelic girl referred to in earlier posts.

If you've got a PC and a fast internet connection, checkout Keyhole. It's a global mapping program, recently acquired by Google. The program starts with a view of the Earth as seen from space. You then type in an address, and the program zooms to that spot. If you're in a large city, you'll probably see your house. If there aren't aerial photographs, you'll still be able to see a general

You raise me up When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up….To more than I can be. There is no life – no life without its

I'm impressed by internet searching. I put the new google desktop search on my work PC, and found it's been really useful. We recently switched to Outlook, so now it's very convenient to search all my work email. From the search results, you can go directly to Outlook to reply, etc which is very handy. One of the more useful (or concerning) features is that it searches inside microsoft documents.

I've been thinking about crime in Los Angeles. A friend brought up the news of a 14 year old who was shot 19 times in LA recently. Our church has also been thinking about moving more towards the 'city'. While looking at some of the crime statistics, I was wondering how they compare to war casualties. Luckily I found this nice article, since it's a bit early in the morning to do all the research

I just got word that my brother's on the run. He was recently sentenced to 4 yrs parole on some drug charges. Mr. Law came to his house today, but I hear he managed to elude him by jumping out a window. I remember he was chased out of Texas a few years ago for poaching, so he probably won't be going there. Let me know if you see him. During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers

My company had it's yearly technical forum on Tuesday and Wednesday. They give awards for the best papers, and I was one of 3 people who tied for 2nd place with my paper "Gen 10.8: The Next Generation Mid-Voltage Trench FET Platform." I was competing with such papers as "New Silicon and Packaging Advances for Synchronous Rectification Improve Efficiency & Power Density in AC/DC Power Supplies"

Some colleagues from the UK are in town, so I took them mountain biking on the Paseo Miramar/Topanga Loop this weekend. I've never been to this area before, but was quite impressed. So close to Los Angeles, but it seemed worlds away. Unfortunately the review is correct in the section about "Aerobic difficulty: Very difficult; one of the most grueling climbs in the Santa Monicas" and the guys

I'm still alive after the big race. I took a few photos, but they don't really capture the fun and excitement of a 2 pm ride under the blazing sun, or coming back from a midnight ride to some warm ears of roasted corn. Or how about the glorious sunrise ride on my 4th lap, following Jim Dover (who finished 2nd in the Solo category) and was on his 17 lap. I ended up doing 5 laps (10 miles each). My

On saturday I'll be in a mountain bike race, '24 Hours of Adrenaline'. I've done it for the past several years. The pain must have done something to my memory so I can't say exactly how many times. In a few days you should be able to look here for the results, I'm racing with Team Harold (after Harold Davis, a friend who passed away a few years ago). They may even have a live webcast or

While I'm on the cloud theme, here's one I took in Arizona over the weekend. I was at my grandparent's house in Wickenburg. About an hour after this picture, we were surrounded by a huge dust storm that turned the sky brown.

I took an early morning bike ride on sunday, up to the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I managed to get this picture with my camera phone before descending through the clouds to the ocean below. Quite a treat for waking up so early!

Last weekend I taught at church, since both the pastor and associate pastor were out of town. I introduced a new series, Jesus' Farewell Tour. We'll be going over that the next 7 weeks. I taught specifically on the promise of the Holy Spirit. "If you love me, you will obey what I command." I'm still working on that, especially the jealousy part.

I rode my Ferrari to work today, it was about 5 minutes faster than the Hummer. The ~2 mph gain is probably a combination of the narrow, high-pressure tires, lighter frame, and better aerodynamics.

Here's a pic from the first International Party. We had about 30 people come by, plenty of food from lots of interesting places. We're hoping what people experienced continues to speak to them in the coming weeks. I'm not sure what we'll do next, but I'll keep you posted!

So it's been a while... Work is busy, with my Boss in China for 3 weeks. I've been house sitting for my Aunt, although I haven't really been there much except to sleep. We're having a big international party at my house tonight, so I've been busy cleaning and decorating. I'll post some pictures afterwards. Speaking of international, maybe we'll have to include the Piraha at the next party...

I rode my mountain bike to work this morning. 12.5 miles, 54 minutes. The 5 miles to the beach has a bit of traffic, but the rest of theride is pretty nice. It takes about 30 minutes to drive. We'll seehow the traffic is on the ride home.

So how many times will I have the chance to post from Sudan? After 24 hours travel, we didn't end up in Addis. The airport was fogged in so we landed in Khartoum, Sudan about 5am. Now we're in the Palace Hotel, supposed to be picked up for the airport at 1:30pm. Very Arab here, we're staying right on the Blue Nile (which is actually very red looking.) I think you're not allowed to take pictures

"So, how do you find it?" That's what they tell me I'll be hearing in Ethiopia, meaning "how do you like our country?" We had a team meeting tonight, and after some prayer tomorrow we'll be on our way. I found out we have a stop in Alexandria, Egypt but I don't even think we get off the plane. I'll have to save more thoughtful discussions for later, I'm pretty tired now.

One Week and I'll be leaving for Ethiopia. All the money's in the bank, and I've gotten my shots. I need to pick up my malaria pills on monday, and figure out a bit more of the financials. This week the African Union is meeting in Addis, discussing the stalled Ethiopian Eritrean peace process, among other things. We'll let the governments plot this week, and see how much more prayer will

Genesis 11:5-7 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

My nephew spent the last 4 days with me... He's quite a bundle of energy! We had a BBQ and went to Disneyland and the beach. I'm not sure I could do that full-time - you must need the first 5 years of raising a child to have the strength for the 6th year.

With what name do you label your stuff? The photo below is of Robert's bike. Robert hangs out in Redondo Beach, he's also got a van that somebody gave him, similarly decorated (I'll have to get a photo sometime). He spends his day trying to tell people about Jesus. Next to his bike is a nice Jaguar with the vanity plate "A CLASSC". Quite a contrast.

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." - 1 John 2:15-17, NIV

My friend Ray has been flexing his muscles... Really, he's been flexing his evangelism muscles.

I ran across a few interesting blogs recently: an anglican priest thinking out loud about church, worship, language, and culture. a guy from Cardiff Vineyard in Wales. I was in Wales for 4 months, I guess God had other plans for my time there.

In the book of Exodus, God instructs the priests to wear the names of the tribes of Israel on their garments. As you go to God in prayer and praise, what kind of memorial do you bring? 28:9 "Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in the order of their birth-six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the

Hi-there blog readers, it's been a while. Everybody welcome Matt-T, Shane-R, Jen-S, and the rest of the pasadena posse. A brief update on what's going on- I'm going to Ethiopia this summer (July 10-25) with a team from my church. I'll try to write more on that in the future. I'm learning to play the Bass. I've had it for about a month, and played last night with our church worship team.

My schedule's been a bit out of whack since returning from the other side of the world. Time / Place / Passion / Race / I still haven't found what I'm looking for I met this guy and his son when I was in India. He gave me some books on Hinduism I plan to read. His son's coffee house ministry is very similar to what VX is working toward. Could it be the same God on the other side of the world?

So the internet is still working it's way through the villages in India where I've been traveling the last week or so. I'm in Cochin now, home of the oldest European church in India (1506?), founded by the Portugese soon after Vasco de Gama landed in India. Interesting how the portugese were here about 150 years, the dutch about 200 years, then the british. Tonight I'm taking the overnight

Umm...I'm in Chennai, India. Arrived last night after 32 hours travel. 8 hours in Singapore with a brief tour around the city with Vijay's relatives. Very clean and nice city. India's pretty crazy this morning, with all the sights and sounds. Not sure what the plans are for the day yet. Luckily there's this small Internet Cafe near the hotel, 10RS for 20 min. Just past the first cow on the left

Thoughts from VLI class last niqht- "Pauline Literature and Theology"Paul stood against the external 'markers' people used to define their relationship with God- circumcision, special diets and days. What externals do we use to classify and judge people in our churches?We still look to diet, languaqe, music, dress, regularity of church attendance. What else?

Job Title: Interdimensional ReconciIerDescription: Bring peace and understanding between beings in different dimensions, specifically between Man and God.I've been thinking about a purpose statement for life, I like this from Andrew Murray: Seek the will and glory ofGod by loving and saving men.

Thoughts for the day-Love one another.We're called to serve.Encouragement brings love.Busyness is a choice (that keeps us from love?)

Surprise those mythical 5 minutes morning and evening the sun not visible yet a reflection of glory less intense, but richer emotions of wonder, longing, joy hints of fire, love, desire carried on wisps of life and ashes fading quickly too much for my fainting heart.

Already more than a week into the new year. I hope we haven't forgotten our resolutions yet? If you didn't notice, you can click on the "comments" under any post and add your own comments! Quite fun, and it's all free. Tonight was a leadership meeting for VX. We discussed ideas for serving our community, to build relationships and share the good news. Too many ideas to list here, hopefully

And what a fine January 7th it was. I've got my tickets to India, Feb 6-22. Now I'm searching for what to see while I'm there. The bible study tonight was on Intimacy with God. Can I add that to my prayer and worship request this year? ~blessings~

Doing some reading on travel to India - from the US State department travel warning page: 'It is very important to keep in mind that if a driver hits a pedestrian or a cow, the vehicle and its occupants are at risk of being attacked by passersby. Such attacks pose significant risk of injury or death to the vehicle's occupants or at least of incineration of the vehicle. It can thus be unsafe to

So I'm reading Waking the Dead by John Eldredge, and he brought up the concept of Original Glory. We're so stuck on Sin, the Fall, this present world that we forget the Original Glory we were created in and for. Let this be a reminder!
