“MyRadioDesk is my first public Radio theme: it resembles a desk with common elements on top: a sheet of paper, a calendar, some post-its, some stamps and so on. Each day is a yellow post-it with entries inside (click the picture to see it real-size).“
This is a pretty cool theme. For kicks I changed my theme for the profession category. Now if I can get Radio to use the new theme.
Faith Fades Where It Once Burned Strong. In much of Europe the ties of Christianity no longer bind the way they once did and often seem not to bind at all. By Frank Bruni. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]
This is an old but true story. It is especially poetic for me since I met a couple of new people from Munich yesterday at our church. They had arrived as part of the Sister Cities of Cincinnati intern program and the host family had brought them to the Vineyard Church. In early August we brought Nina to the Vineyard. If their lives are similar to Nina and probably most of the people in Europe can say that according to the article, they had not been to a church service like this before. I am sure that this host family brought them to this church because they thought it would be fun and relevant to our lives. Someday they may may start asking themselves why church is not fun and relevant to the people in Europe and what do they need to do to change it.
