Mike,
Looking at your commenters reminds me of when I saw Josh Ross, Joel Quile and Casey McC. sitting together during a Maymester with their dorky laptops. I knew that the three of them would only cause trouble. I hear they had a lot of fun surfing the internet during class hours. Ah, the joy of being a student in today’s wireless world.

And, as always, I love reading Nouwen. In the Name of Jesus was the first Nouwen book I read, so it has a special place in my heart.

I am a major Nouwen fan! Love the quote!
Glad you are home safely!
Josh and Kayci have been counting the days down until Matt and Jenna are back in Houston.
The preaching has ALWAYS been great at Lake Cities!

Of all the articles that have caused a stir over the years, “Christmas at Matthew’s House” was one that I could never understand the fuss over. I read some of the reaction and was left thinking, “Did they read the same article?” Home is where your roots are, and for me it is Memphis, one of the most bizzare places on earth, but it is home thru and thru.

Andre’s article, “Christmas at Matthew’s House” deserves to be in the Best of Wineskins edition.

Edward Fudge recommended “In the Name of Jesus” when I was preaching and trying to work through some leadership issues. If only I had……

Are you kidding? You can get sermons on podcasts? How?

Tim, No, but there aren’t any two places that are more different than Abilene & Vermont! HA?

Hello. I see that you are fond of Boston. My family and I may be moving there in the near future. We have lived in the desert since birth so it should be an adventure. Could you recommend some churches to us? We would like to serve in youth or family areas. I would be happy to hear from any of you.

Thank You

Glad you made it home safely. Jeff did a great job Sunday morning. Your description of Vermont evokes so many pleasant memories. Becky and I loved to visit Liberty Hill Farms B&B in Rochester. It’s a working dairy farm owned by a wonderful Christian couple, Beth and Bob Kinnett. The breakfasts are worth the trip and the three story barn in over 100 years old.

Are there any two more disparate places than Vermont and Abilene?

Thanks Mike. Somehow the fonts on the new fangled web sites keep getting smaller so that Haymes looks like Haynes!

Peace.

Nope. This prof’s name is Donald Haynes.

I’ll try to get Jeff’s message on our podcast and our home website.

Is Donald Haymes that is at Hood the same Donald Haymes that has a restoration movement church background?

Sure I remember Christmas at Matthew’s House. And if your blog readers don’t remember it, they can read it free at this link.

Eventually, I’ll get all the way back to 1992 (and beyond) getting the archives posted on the New Wineskins site, but in the meantime I think we could all be blessed by some glimpses like this!

Will Jeff’s sermon be available by podcast? Pretty please.

Strange last sentence, hopefully the meaning is clear. LOL

Your family and ministry here are a big part of my “contentment in all things.”

There, somewhat better.
