Face Lift

One reason that I hesitate to get a tattoo is that as much as I change my blog layout and my desktop background, I think I'd also want to change my skin art! I still haven't found a layout that I truly like and the instructions on how to add a custom layout from another source is confusing. I'm certain I would screw it up and be forever lost in template hell. Therefore, I am limited to the blogger templates - which are ok and are customizable to some extent. So that's a happy thing.

Anyway - here's the new look...And a new name. Renegade is a name given to me by Denise (aka Radar), my friend and cohort in hell-gate storming. It came from my saying something about preventing renegade prayer scheduling. :)

I thought it made for a good blog title...So there ya have it...

Yeah... guess what song is stuck in my head now!

"Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home"

Hahaha! That was exactly what came to mind when Denise said she was gonna call me Renegade... :)

There is a VWS trend with blogs that start with R...Reverb, Remedy, Renegade. Another sign of cult-dom I suppose!

You said 'hell' a lot. I may have to ban Jonah from your blog now.

Of course, mine are the children that laugh hysterically everytime we talk about running on or sledding on the 'dam'.

I have to go pray for you and your mouth.

Relationship vs. evidence

My reply to a blog post discussion with an atheist...I was not attempting to convert him. Just sharing my story.  What a neat discussion...I love it when people can talk about these kinds of things respectfully. How much we can learn from each other when we know that the other person is not going to ridicule or go off or resort to insults. THANKS! For what it's worth, my two cents are below. :) I grew up in Evangelicalism, but my faith became the most alive when I ditched the rules and the play-book of 'making converts' through arguing the Bible and defending God (God doesn't really need me to do that anyway). I made it about 'me and God', not 'me, the rules and how I can convince everyone that my religion is right by explaining the Bible empirically'. You can't do that. The Bible isn't a science book. It is a book of experiences and intepretations of experiences by other people - humans as jacked up and confused by life as I am than I was ...

Sozo Conference '08

This gets a big Dan WWWWWOOWWWW... What a weekend! It was awesome, it was awful, it was amazing and it was a wild ride! Talk about a roller coaster. But I learned a lot and grew a lot and I am still processing. The Sozo folks from Bethel Church in Redding, Ca. are gifted teachers and administers of emotional/spiritual healing. I went on Friday to be in the "hot seat" for a Sozo with somoene from the Bethel team. This was good because it gave me a chance to see them in action. I was able to observe how they work, see what I did and did not like in how they did things and decide what to do and not do when we are ministering here. It was very confirming to see that they work very similarly to how we do on our Sozo team. YAY! And now, a few pictures from the trip. First of all, I needed a travelling companion. So I kidnapped a Horgan Gnome. He's the one who always moons us as we exit their house. So I called him "Gmoony". Here he is with my kidnapping accomplices. C...

Alan Alda's seven quick questions

I enjoy listening to Alan Alda's podcast 'Clear and Vivid' . At the end of every episode he asks his guest seven quick questions. Here are my answers: 1. What do you wish you really understood? Why the universe was created in such a way that violent death or death, in general, was required for the sustenance of its living creatures. The food chain - I'm not a fan.... 2. How do you tell someone they got their facts wrong? Generally, if I am having an actual discussion with someone (that is usually not in a FB comment thread) I will ask questions about sources where the person got their information in case I missed something or to decide if the sources are quality. I will present what I understand to be true and why. 3. What is the strangest question anyone has ever asked you? It was more stupid/rude than strange, but someone once asked me why I was here if I didn't want to have children...As if the sole purpose of my existence is to breed. 4. How do you...
