Yesterday I was listening to a sermon by one of my favorite people, a Dutch guy named Brother Andrew. He started a ministry called Open Doors and has been involved in smuggling Bibles into closed countries for probably fifty years. He's written a couple of books. The only one I've read is called God's Smuggler (recently re-published as The Narrow Road) and it was a big part of God moving us towards Ireland. We would read it before going to bed and on long car trips and it often amazed us, challenged us, and built up our faith. In short, he's a crazy dude. One of those down-to-earth types--not hyper-spiritual, but radically faithful. I want to be like that.
Here's a link to the sermon. I was listening to it at work and I wanted to stand up at my desk at the end when he gives the invitation.
Blessings,
Mark

Mark, I've been listening to these this week... sometimes I get interrupted w/ work, so I start it over again later, then listened another time so I could take some notes, so in a sense I've been meditating on his message. It's really blessing me. Thanks for sharing it.
And your "descended into hail" blog, hilarious, and original, yes. You do well mixing the silly and the profound, cause your view of people in your role as Jesus was really wondrous.
That's all. Wish I could see you guys in the morning. (I have bookclub, at Laura's. Sadly, we don't have a blog.)
