Harbert Community Church

Last updated on: March 20, 2006 at 5:45 am By Scot McKnight

I pulled out of the driveway at 6:15am to drive around Lake Michigan into the breezy climes of Western Michigan — and arrived in Sawyer to speak at Harbert Covenant around 9:30am — their time (not Chicago time). Gave me plenty of time for prayer and preparation for the sermon. I met Joel Kruggel, the pastor, and we chatted in the church library as we got ready for the service. |inline Read more

Big Zero

Last updated on: March 19, 2006 at 8:16 pm By Scot McKnight

The Big Ten is the Big Zero this year. No one left in the NCAA — no one in the Sweet Sixteen. Dr. Naismith’s grave is rocking, I’ll tell ya. The major heartland of the USA teams are home for the summer. The inevitable conclusion: basketball on the East Coast, from Boston down to Tallahassee, is better than the Midwest, though there are a few rivals from the West coast. |inline Read more

Bee-Attitudes

Last updated on: March 19, 2006 at 6:21 am By Scot McKnight

Pam Cooke, at Cold Springs Community Church, gave Kris and me a bottle of her home-made honey: Bee-Attitudes. She has some of those bee “drawer-“looking objects in the field at the home where we stayed, and she explained to us a little of how one keeps bees and harvests honey. So, we were delighted she gave us a bottle. We dipped into it yesterday … very good. Blessed are you, Pam. I can see why the ancient Hebrews loved to... Read more

Harbert Covenant

Last updated on: March 19, 2006 at 6:00 am By Scot McKnight

I’m off early this morning for a Jesus Creed morning with the Covenant Church in Harbert, Michigan. The good folks there are going through the book during Lent, and so it is nice to be invited to put some “flesh” on that book. Next week we fly down to Sprindale Community Church in Louisville, and then the next weekend we are in Delaware (new State for me) at Eastpoint — the Purple Pastor. Read more

Blogs of the Week

I’m on Spring Break this week, so I’ve had more time for reading blogs. Blog post of the year for me: Dawn Husnick’s story of the ER. |inline Read more

The (Not So) Big Ten

Last updated on: March 18, 2006 at 5:45 am By Scot McKnight

That first round of games in the NCAA tournament is a test of wills — when the #3 rated Iowa Haw-geyes, the Big Ten Tournament Champion, took on the #14 seeded Northwestern State, from Natchitoches, La., one would think it would be a “show up, win, and get ready for the next” game for Iowa. |inline Read more
