Please be praying for us.  We have found a house in Boulder that is in the realm of reasonable price wise - only 339,000.  Its such a low price because its a piece of junk and would need some serious, serious work.  We are going to walk through with a builder on Monday and find out if it will be feasible for us.

The upside is that we would be in good location and can design the house to meet our needs.  The downside is that it may cost too much to get it there because it has some serious foundation issues.

So we would appreciate your prayers for wisdom and good sense and possibly strong backs and endurance.

We are starting to achieve a normal chaos after ‘the break’. School is rolling along now.

Joshua’s wrestling season came to an abrupt end when he reinjured a shoulder he first hurt in football. Kind of a bummer.

  Caleb is starting baseball tryouts. Kylee joined the 6th grade orchestra and Louisville Middle School.

So we are glad to be back to a somewhat more ordered period.

Our series on “Christianity Makes Sense” is continuing.  So far we have discussed how it makes sense relationally and intellectually.  Next week I will discuss how it makes sense practically.

I have read some good books in preparing for this: “What’s So Great About Christianity” by Dinesh D’Souza, “Can Man Live Without God” by Ravi Zacharias, and “For the Glory of God” by Rodney Stark.  The last is a bit more scholarly, but is one that you should read to gain a more accurate view of history, if you have the time.  Did you know that when Columbus sailed every intellectual already knew the earth was round including the church?  I am going to try to explain that Christianity makes sense in very practical, down to earth ways.

Anyway, if you have any comments on this topic of ‘Christianity Makes Sense”, I would welcome them.  Of course, there is also a part of Christianity that is not just rational, but we don’t have to turn our brains off to be followers of Jesus.
