Combining My Journals
Some of you know that I have been keeping (well, "keeping" is an overstatement) two separate web journals for some time now. The ridiculousness of this idea has finally dawned on me... I know, I am slow to catch on, but don't forget that I'm from Indiana. Anyway, here is the full content (entries and comments) from coastlandblog.com. Coastlandblog has now been decommissioned, but I might write something in this category from time to time, on this site. With that in mind, I've added a "CoastlandBlog Archive" section and an "RSS" subscription button to the sidebar.
If you see something in here that impacts you or inspires a comment, I'll certainly still see it and will be glad to engage in the dialogue.
Peace.

Thinking About Evangelism
“One thing that Christians and non-Christians have in common is that they are both very uncomfortable with evangelism.” I am not sure who gets credit for that quote, but it is a good one. Most of my experience with evangelism confirms that notion. For me, it has often been awkward and unfruitful. That was just my end of it! Think about how uncomfortable my “targets” must have felt. My experience over the past year and half, living an Outflow life and practicing Servant Evangelism has created such a drastic shift in that paradigm that I cannot help but get excited about sharing it...

Thank God for MTV!
MTV leads the way in Reality TV. They invented the idea a bunch of years ago with a show that is still on the air, The Real World. One of their newest innovations is a reality show called, Juvies. I’m not a big fan of reality TV but this one really captured my attention. Sheryl and I had it on last night. I was stunned to discover that this show is recorded literally blocks from where I lived for 15 years! Any one reading this from Northwest Indiana will instantly recognize the abbreviation, LCJC, Lake County Juvenile Center. Can you believe that? MTV saw fit to film a show about juvenile delinquents in my old hometown...
