Yesterday my 9 year old son and two of his friends were selling Kool-aid at a corner stand. A middle-aged woman drove up and asked them who they were voting for. (I assume she realizes that 9 year old children cannot vote but who knows) One of the kids said he was voting for Bush and she said, “In that case I cannot buy any Kool-aid from you. You should vote for Kerry.”

When I showed up to pick up my son and he told me the story I thought he was joking. But the lady came back when she saw me at the Kool-aid stand and told me what had happened. She seemed very pleased with herself that she did not give her 50 cents to 9 year old Bush supporters. The funniest part was when she was telling me the story my son’s friend was standing off to the side saying, “Dude! We are so stupid! We should have known by all those stickers on her car to say ‘Kerry’ the first time she came around and then she would have bought some Kool-aid.”

That was my son’s first personal experience with American politics. Now he thinks that people who vote for Kerry are mean. I guess he should consider himself lucky that she didn’t tax their $3 profits. Who would have thought that Kool-aid would be such a divisive issue this year?

I know there are quite a few prayer giants who read this blog so I wanted to drop a request that is much on my mind. On Monday morning my mom is going in to have her heart checked out. There is a good chance that they will take her in for some form of surgery that day. As you can imagine there is not a little bit of anxiousness and nervous anticipation as that day approaches. I hope that some of you will join with me in prayer about this. Thanks.

This is a must read! Thanks to Steve for the heads up. Here is an excerpt to whet your appetite:

bq. When offered a choice between two politically intolerable alternatives, it is important to choose neither. And when that choice is presented in rival arguments and debates that exclude from public consideration any other set of possibilities, it becomes a duty to withdraw from those arguments and debates, so as to resist the imposition of this false choice by those who have arrogated to themselves the power of framing the alternatives. These are propositions which in the abstract may seem to invite easy agreement. But, when they find application to the coming presidential election, they are likely to be rejected out of hand. For it has become an ingrained piece of received wisdom that voting is one mark of a good citizen, not voting a sign of irresponsibility. But the only vote worth casting in November is a vote that no one will be able to cast, a vote against a system that presents one with a choice between Bush’s conservatism and Kerry’s liberalism, those two partners in ideological debate, both of whom need the other as a target.

Behold the handiwork of my children! I have been spending some really good quality and quantity time with my family since I started my new job. Last weekend we went to a local event called Halloween with horses. It is a fun time of trick-or-treeting, kid friendly haunted houses, face painting, mazes and a pumpkin patch. We scored four small pumpkins and carved them up on Tuesday. This is the first year that all of the kids designed and carved their own pumpkins. All I had to do was clean up the mess. It was a lot of fun.

Yesterday, I went on a field trip with my oldest son to the Denver Art Museum where we examined the artistry of the Native Americans. My favorite part of the day was looking at a pot that was made over 1100 years ago. It was beautiful. I was amazed at the complexity of the design work and symbols as well as the near perfect symmetry of the pottery. The creativity of the human being is truly outstanding.

Fellow ecclesial dreamer, Robby Mac posted a comment over at the ecclesial dreamer home of Justin Baeder and Aaron Ogle, Radical Congruency, that caught my attention and prompted me to post some comments of my own. I like what these dreamers are doing and saying. They are asking and struggling with great questions and creating some great space for others to dialogue about some controversial issues. If you are looking for some really good ecclesial conversation I highly recommend their blogs.

I know that I am a little late to this but Christianity Today has a pretty good article on The Emergent Mystique. While I don’t agree with everything in it I think it is fair and well written. I think Andy did a good job.

it is late and I can’t sleep. I still am not feeling 100% up to blogging. There is so much I want to say that I don’t really know where to start. So I figured I would just ramble here for a while.

So far my new job has turned out to be even better than I could have hoped for. I love it. The work is steady but not too hard. The days go by fast. I am getting home much earlier so I am feeling much more connected to my family. All things vocational are going great.

Things with Missio Dei are in the never ending holding pattern. I had a great chat with Dwight about some of this on Saturday. I am pretty sure that if everyone who has ever been involved in the ongoing (neverending???) discussion lived within a mile of one another that we would have evolved to another level many months ago and a lot of people would have still been involved. This has me thinking a lot about how important spacial proximity seems to be in the ecclesial business. I can understand why the lack of proximity causes problems in building community but I don’t understand why more social theory revolving around scale-free networks, small world networks and things of this nature are not infiltrating the protestant ecclesial communities. It seems that these emerging sociological ideas are influencing other types of communities (especially in the vocational realm) but have little impact in the way we develop ecclesial communities. This is strange to me.

I am going to be so glad when the election is finally over. I am tired of the rhetoric on both sides and am anxious for it to just be over. I am firmly convinced that no matter who wins the earth will not come to an end. My predicition is that half of the people who could vote will not. The votes of those who do participate will be a statistical tie and no one will be happy with the results. Regardless who wins, both sides will claim some sort of victory and by the weekend after thanksgiving our shared capitalism will overcome our bipartisan political affinities and we will continue to spend more than we make on things we don’t really need and ignore those who have real needs. If we are hoping for a messiah we will be forced to wait a lot longer than election day. But at least all the commercial will be over. For me, that might be enough.

Well, that seems like enough rambling for now. I am obviously rusty and in need of a few more posts to shake of the cobwebs.

Doug Pagitt (one of my ecclesial dreamer heroes, in case you forgot) has posted an excellent, thought provoking piece on his blog that resonates very deeply with my still brewing thoughts that friends don’t let friends plant churches. (Make sure you read the comments too as there are some good thoughts developing there.) Ironically enough it was something else he wrote that planted the seed in my head in the first place.

Is anyone out there watching the new ABC show LOST? I started watching it and I really like it so far. I think there will be a lot of good analogy type material in this show. They are brushing on topics of leadership, racial issues, gender issues, family issues, spirituality issues and on and on. I also really like the way the narration uses flashback in the telling of the story. I think that flashback is a powerful tool. I wonder why it is not used more in preaching?? I am curious to know if any one else is watching the show and what your thoughts are.

watching this makes me want an Ipod even more.
