Last night, I rode along with some friends up to Reading to attend Fairview Christian School’s Christmas Program. Here’s a few snapshots (I apologize for the quality, they were taken with my phone) and some of the music selections from the evening. Fairview Christian School The school was started several years ago by Fairview Mennonite [...]

A friend recently opened an online store specializing in modest clothes. I was amazed how fast she was able to get it all listed. From conservative dresses, jumpers, skirts and swim suits to Carhartt workpants and black leather shoes she’s jumped right into the marketplace with both feet. The website is marketed towards anyone with [...]

I read this on someone else’s xanga today: “Life is not just a series of events… It is the road we are taking to reach a destination.” Each year, our church has a time when anyone can share what events or thoughts from the past year had the most impact on their lives and looking [...]

It’s been years, so I thought I would go and read it again and rediscover the man who’s name is imprinted on the Anabaptist denomination that I’ve chosen to be a part of.

As Christians living in this world of swirling ideas and competing worldviews it is not always easy to define quickly what we believe based on our understanding of the Bible and God’s will for human beings. Yes, we can say, “I believe [...]

Melvin Lehman the director of Faith Builders Educational Programs has written an excellent article concerning today’s conservative young Christians; especially those with Anabaptist-like beliefs. It is very insightful and accurately portrays my generation. I highly recommend it. You can download the PDF at: http://www.fbep.org/downloads/The%20New%20Conservatives_MBL.pdf

I’ve been reading through an interesting collection of brief anecdotes by Dorcas Smucker about her and her husband Paul’s experiences raising a family of six children, on a grass seed farm in Oregon. She does an amazing job of creating “snapshots” of the dynamic tapestry of life. I have found it to be a particularly [...]

I just finished reading the very intriguing narrative detailing the SMBI Costa Rica Tour over on Hans Mast’s blog, one of my regular reads. Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute has to be one of the most unusual Mennonite Bible Schools out there. I highly respect the work they have accomplished with young people, as well as [...]

I spent the last two weekends in Oregon. Two separate trips; two very different yet similar experiences. Weekend #1 consisted of an 8 hour road trip to the town of John Day, in Eastern Oregon. I visited a shooting range, the wonderful people of John Day Mennonite Church, and a newly built mansion built to [...]
