happy 40th birthday to sesame street! i can remember many a day learning to count, with the Count; that we’re supposed to share; that there really is a monster living in the garbage can; and that no one really questioned the relationship between Bert & Ernie – as far as I knew, they were brothers.
random tid-bit about s.s.: bob the music teacher is the only ‘human’ who has been part of the cast since the first show.
anyone remember ‘teeny little superguy’?
this morning was the first sunday in almost a year that i have enjoyed being at church. it was the first time we went to this community and we were warmly greeted by some of the members.
for this, i am thankful.

i read rob bell’s latest book last night “drops like stars”. the book was written in typical rob bell form – poetic, blank pages and of course, thought provoking. there was one point that bell made – that perhaps in our efforts to “think outside the box”, we have created a new box.
interesting that in many context, church and secular, people suggest the need to think outside the box to change the context in which we are thinking or planning. that seems to be one of the first statements when people are wanting to reach a new generation. are we still thinking outside the box or thinking in a new box?
bell also makes the correlation between suffering and building community. obviously we can all identify with suffering, in some form. he shares the illustration that almost everyone could identify with the suffering of cancer. cancer has not confined to race, economic, social or geographic backgrounds.
i read the book in a little over an hour, but i was also watching a movie.
an interesting combination – rob bell and jack black.
