I'm back!

Well, since one of the ten people who read this blog asked why it's been so long since I've posted ... I have to answer the cry for more.

Don't look now, but I think somebody new came to house church last week. And the week before that. And the week before that. We are officially in a radical growth season ... if they come back. :)

Speaking of expansion, the latest title I'm using for "the books" is Kingdom Expansion. It's a more all-encompassing term than Kingdom Law. I have all 900+ pages of the notes that Maasen has faithfully typed up, and they are all now organized into quasi-chapters. There are still more notes to come, but there are definitely enough to get started now. I am considering allocating some time this semester to writing the first, in a series of about 10, of these short books ... maybe 50-100 pages each.

And while we're talking about expansion, the number of pastors in our city that have committed to praying for the city of Merriam just doubled ... Brother Gillis told me he would join me once a week. Notice I called him Brother Gillis, as I'm now pretty sure that's what he goes by instead of Pastor Gillis as we've called him for over a year now.

In other news ... it's cold out.

Harrison and I played two fierce games of Risk this weekend. He even wanted to order a new game, similar to the old Crossbows and Catapults from my childhood. Good times. Elsewhere on the kid front, Noah can go from laying down to sitting up now. He can also go from laying down to standing up if he's in his crib with the bars to hang onto.

Finally, I've been trying to semi-monitor the Presidential campaigns so that I can understand a bit more. Primarily, I've realized that Chuck Norris is about to round-house somebody.
