"Pay no attention to me, dancing with my girl. We have every intention to be failures in this world." - Aaron Weiss , mewithoutYou

My parents just went on their 25th anniversary honeymoon. While they were there, they thought of us. I received a recycled bike chain bottle opener. My wife received a small pewter house hook, and a stuffed dinosaur for her preschool classroom. I focus more on the 25 years. Thank you, mom and dad! You set a beautiful example of commitment to love. David

Hey Amigos, Sarah and I dialogged this morning about communal living a bit. She has been in Acts 2 and 4 studying how the early Christians lived. Recently I found some photos of a place in UCHISAR, Turkey where the remains of original Christian (and non-believers) villages in caves. Search Google for some pictures, there are a lot. I noticed how connected these houses were, and couldn't help but connect community and close dwelling. Some know that a friend is coming to live with us in just a couple weeks. This is a movement towards what I believe sharing my possessions openly means. Mi casa es tu casa. I want to be in the place where my belongings are no longer mine, but truly the Lord's, sharing them with people. From my house down to my coat, my chairs to my guitars. As our friend comes to live with us, however, I believe there is something deeper needed in our commune. Problems and conflict are going to happen when people live together, we're human.

Hey Friends & fam, Sarah and I are officially moved into our new house, and we are presently working on making it a home. I wanted to post some photos so you could see what we have. We have completed the hardwood flooring/sanding/finishing/sealing, which you can see in our photo album. I'll have more picture updates on our blog here pretty regularly. Check back!

The pastor of the church I went to in High School is being featured as one of the "Relevant Revolution" tracks. Check it out. Relevant Revolution (Click on Alistair Begg) I remember this sermon...It wasn't too long ago. David

I like mewithoutYou's music so much, mainly because of the lyrical content. I like their music so much because of their rhythmic music. OK... I like it because of both. The lyrics are plain yet poetic. Yes, he talks most of the time...which reminds me of a conversation with another person almost. They are Christian and real...unafraid of revealing the personal side of life. I find that so important in music. The band recently converted their touring vehicle to an engine that burns vegetable oil , which I would love to do with my own car (If someone knows how to convert a gasoline engine to vegetable oil, let me know; as far as I know you can only convert diesel). Aaron spent some time with The Simple Way folks (the people in PA that I wrote about a little while ago.) Love. David
