250 people crammed into a 15x15 space...

Steven Bush has been in Ethiopia. His photos from the trip are amazing. His talent is very refreshing. I find myself agreeing with his thoughts on American churches and their need (or want) for more. Having worshipped in other countries,in tiny buildings with no air conditioning or in people's homes where the rats join you, it opens your eyes to what is real and Who is real and what really matters. So go over to his blog and see for yourself the beautiful pictures and the haunting words.

Dead in the Pew

This wonderful, yet sad, blog is by Bush. I agree with everything he says in this entry. I started reading his stuff because I liked his notes on "being the church". He and his beautiful wife are working on an apdoption. Go to "Adopting August" to learn more about their journey.

The Need Is The Call (thoughts of a vagabond)

Sometimes you read a blog that makes you want to thrust your fists in the air and yell "YES" as if your favorite team just did something important. That happened to me last night. I sent it to a lot of people via e-mail, but now I'm linking to it here. I started reading Bush's stuff 'cause I like his "The Church Being The Church" blogs. This is my favorite so far.
