Here and there |

| I’ll be in DC on Sunday night, July 13, speaking to participants at the World Vision Youth Empowerment Summit. I hope it’s not hot and sweaty. “They” say Jeremy Del Rio will precede me on Saturday night. Later in the month I’ll do a little family vacation time in New York City. In early August [...] |

Bloody Aussies |
|
| July 03, 2008 08:00 AM |
| Time for a touch of humour. If you’re an American then this will probably make absolutely no sense whatsoever!
You know you’re Australian if…..
1. You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn.
2. You think it’s normal to have a leader called Kevin.
3. When you hear that an American “roots for his [...] |

50 Ways to Define “Missional” - VII |
|
| July 03, 2008 06:00 AM |
| I’ve been doing a series examining the posts from the collection of definitions in the recent missional synchroblog in which I participated with a total of 50 bloggers (plus a few unofficial entries). This exercise is perhaps becoming a bit of an appendix to the missional series I did last summer, doing an extensive consideration of the term.
With so few posts left in the queue (at least relatively speaking), we pick up the review once more with Ron Cole. He writes, “To understan |

50 Ways to Define â??Missionalâ?쳌 - VI |
|
| July 02, 2008 06:00 AM |
| Almost inadvertently, I began a series examining the posts from the recent missional synchroblog in which I participated with a total of 50 bloggers (plus a few unofficial entries). Recalling my the missional series from last summer, I’m determined to wrap this one up in fewer words. In any event, we dive into the next batch of submissions for consideration.
Mark Petersen begins with a story, then explains why it is missional, which he defines in ten points:
Being missional is:

Doubletree Hotel San Diego Downtown - 4 Stars, I think not |

Since we just hit our one year dating anniversary, I decided to look for hotels in downtown San Diego and see what kind of deals I could [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Doubletree Hotel San Diego Downtown - 4 Stars, I think not", url: "http://www.alanhartung.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/01/doubletree-hotel-san-diego-downtown-4-stars-i-think-not/" }); |

| When I I began a series examining the posts from the recent missional synchroblog in which I participated with a total of 50 bloggers (plus a few unofficial entries), I don’t think I fully thought through the question of just how much material there would be to interact with. Nevertheless, I’m past the halfway mark and most of the major concepts have been introduced already, so we might be able to pick up the pace. We shall see. As I sift through the many posts, I keep thinking b |

The Last Temptation |

| Today and tomorrow I am facilitating an .acom residential on Christology.
One of the things we did today to provoke thought around who Jesus is, was to watch part of the Last Temptation of Christ. Its definitely a thought provoking movie and made all of us feel quite uncomfortable in places as we watched its early [...] |

AVG 8? |
|
| June 30, 2008 08:00 PM |
| A question for the tech-heads…
Since installing AVG 8 my normally speedy Sony Vaio laptop has been rather sluggish and slow to respond to commands. It is especially noticable when flicking between tabs on Firefox.
I have done a complete factory restore and it is as up to date in terms of being ‘clean’ as it could [...] |

| June 30, 2008 06:00 AM |
| Last week I I began a series examining the posts from the recent missional synchroblog in which I participated with a total of 50 bloggers (plus a few unofficial entries) in an effort to describe the meaning of the word “missional.” The project was born out of a frustration with the misuse of the term, as expressed by several of us. This was also the impetus for the major series I undertook last summer on the subject. I had left it aside for a while, but am still hoping to reviv |

HoMY 59: Praise Him, Praise Him |
|
| June 29, 2008 06:00 AM |
| Seems I’ve been at this weekly series for quite a while now. There were a lot more hymns in my youth than I had realized… I haven’t run out yet! This week’s addition to the series, Then Sings My Soul: The Hymns of My Youth is “Praise Him, Praise Him.” The hymn was composed by Fanny Crosby and published in 1869, with music by Chester Allen.
My recollections of this song is that it was one of the more upbeat, even boisterous hymns that we would sing. The |

Random Acts of Linkage #66 |

| June 28, 2008 06:00 AM |
| I’ve been back at my post for two full weeks following our trip now, and I’ve still got over 2,000 unread items in my newsreader. Do you think everyone in the blogosphere would consider a ceaseblog of new posts for about three days so I could catch up? The scary thing is that even at 2,000 posts, I’m still actually making headway toward catching up. But hey, it’s an uphill battle. ;^) Yikes.

Frank Schaeffer on James Dobson on Obama |
|
| June 28, 2008 02:00 AM |
| But the new generation of evangelicals is sick of being labeled as backward rednecks because of their association with fossils like Dobson. There are many evangelicals like Cizik too who are not all about homophobia, nationalism, war-without-end and American exceptionalism or the Republican Party. Like Cizik they believe that the America has a responsibility to [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Frank Schaeffer on James Dobson on Obama", url: "http://www.alanhartung.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/27/ |

We Must be Insane |
|
| June 27, 2008 08:00 AM |
| Our 10-year-old had a sleepover with some friends in our basement last night… I never knew four girls could make so much noise. They settled early enough, but were awake at 5:00AM and giggling. *sigh* This meant I was up and making little bear pancakes for them much earlier than I had anticipated. Last night’s headache carried over. Room spinning. Going deaf. That is all.

50 Ways to Define â??Missionalâ?쳌 - III |

| Somewhat by accident this week, I started a series examining and interacting with some of the posts from the missional synchroblog in which I participated this week along with 49 other “official” entries and a few unofficial ones. Having already apologized to Paul Simon, today’s set is the “make a new plan, Stan” series.

| Yesterday I started working through some of the posts from the recent missional synchroblog in which I participated; there were a total of 50 people on the “official” list, but a few others decided to post on the topic as well. Yesterday I apologized to Paul Simon for quoting the lines, “I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free / There must be fifty ways to define ‘missional’.” I summarized the first few posts, and before we slip out the back |
