Easiest Way to Evangelize Your Neighborhood
Would you please pray for my friend, A.B., this week as she is taking her family through the “Peacemaker Clubs VBS” with the hopes of (possibly) serving her neighborhood by hosting a “backyard club” sometime in the future? This is the second friend I know who has done this, and I really want to keep on encouraging you all to consider the Peacemaker Clubs for your church’s evangelism and VBS ministries. It really is a particularly “easy” way to reach out to your neighbors: (Knock knock knock.) “Hi. My name is Tara. I’m from Rocky Mountain Community Church and this week we’re hosting a free vacation Bible school program on…

Skiing & “Big Fred”
Who knew there was a run at Red Lodge Mountain called “Big Fred”? Not I, said the little red hen. But Soph and Fred had a great day skiing yesterday and sent me this photo mid-day: Ella and I had a nice, quiet day together. And I did make some progress on the school room chaos, so that’s great. One step at a time, right? Hope you have a relaxing Saturday as you prepare for worship tomorrow. Blessings, Tara B.

One For Better and Worse …
Fred and I are hoping to attend the 2010 CCEF Conference this November: One For Better and Worse Three great men from our own little church in Billings will be serving during the pre-conference sessions. And I’m so hoping that CCEF might grant me the joy of live blogging the event for them again. That was such a blast! (My LiveBlogs from their 2008 conference on Addictions continue to receive consistent replays. You can read them here if you are interested. I also LiveBlogged Jerram Barrs’ Plenary Sessions at this year’s PCA Women’s Leadership Conference if you’d like to check them out too.) Off to get the grandparents now!…

Practical Shepherding
Challies.com introduced me this morning to a great new blog that I’m looking forward to reading regularly: Practical Shepherding This article alone was worth my time popping over this morning: How Do You Care for a Wife Hurt by Her Husband’s P*ornography Struggle? (I use the * to try to avoid unpleasant SPAM comments from searchers for that word.) I was most challenged by his last point (encouraging her to pursue her husband) because, although I have not had this exact struggle in my own marriage (thank God), I surely have had other struggles. Really, really hard struggles. Struggles that have tempted me to pull BACK from Fred, rather than…

Please Pray About This Case That Will Come Before the U.S. Supreme Court
I can’t believe this issue is raising its ugly head again: U.S. Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Lawsuit Against U.C.-Hastings Our Christian Legal Society law school chapter faced this exact same issue when I was a 1L. At that time the case law was standing firm in favor of what, it seems to me, are clearly articulated rights in The U.S. Constitution. We had to (respectfully) take a stand and (respectfully) draft some briefs in support of our convictions, but once the administration understood the case law, they backed down and we were allowed to continue to freely associate as an officially recognized student group. Please join me in praying…
