I’m working on some stuff, including a question Jeff put up through skribit. The question has to do with church and deconstruction. It’s an interesting thing for me, as I am no philosopher beyond the amateur level.
I had a great weekend camping and partying with family and friends in Eastern Washington. Highlights included Coulee City parade, bbq, bad dance off, volleyball, white elephant lottery gift exchange and laughter. All in all a great time!
Here’s one thought I was pondering in the car yesterday on my drive home(and already shared on twitter): If I read the bible and don’t feel challenged, stretched or convicted, I’m prolly reading it incorrectly.
Oh, one last thing, I got chacos. It has changed the way I think of sandals forever.
I agree Bryan, if there is no conviction when we read the Word, then Who/what are we listening to?
God Bless You.

Thanks for the comment Reese!
I would like to hear more about the white elephant exchange at Claytonfest. These events are usually associated with the Christmas holiday….
I like the idea of doing them at other times of the year!
Because it was all relatives, we decided it would be fun to do a white elephant gift exchange, but keep it low key. We also wanted it to be a little eclectic to match the rest of the event. So our rule was it had to be an item that you could find in your house.
We set it up differently than any of us have done a white elephant before, by using a bingo game, and going lottery style. We had the gifts in a line, so there was an order to them being picked. If your number got called, you had the choice between the gift at the front of the line, or stealing a gift already out, unless it had been stolen twice, then it was locked up.
Hope that gives you a picture of what we did.
