City on a Hill – Albuquerque

Debbie and I had such a great time with our friends Dave and Kara Bruskas from City on a Hill in Albuquerque. We spent the day on Monday at the beach in Dana Point with the entire Bruskas clan – Dave, Kara, and their four girls (two of whom are now teenagers. we babysat them when they were toddlers).

Dave is a great writer and thinker and friend. We worked together to plant the Anchor in Seattle. If you are ever in Albuquerque or know people who are, send them to City on a Hill, a great place for the disconnected to get connected to God. Read his post about “His Ugliest Sin.” Quite revealing and challenging!

The Only Road North – Book Review

I just completed a fascinating book called The Only Road North by Erik Mirandette. As a I was looking up the weblink for the book I discovered a great review which summarizes the book very well. Thanks, Ben! For me, I was challenged with the idea of trusting God even when the unthinkable may happen. Often (auto)biographies are written about (by) people who have suffered much and overcome much. I was also challenged to take risks as God leads. Very enjoyable read!
