Now that the Servolution Group Blogging Project is over, I thought that it would be cool to get a visual representation of the entire project. Courtesy of wordle.net I’ve run the text through from all of the posts and this was the result… Anything stand out to you?
it’s raining again

It is raining outside. Again.
Don’t get me wrong… we need the rain, bad!
However, several times today, people told me to ’stay dry.’ Has anyone ever told you that? What does that mean, really? Is it really that much better to stay dry?
Don’t you ever want to just go out and play in the rain? You know…
Just run in the rain until you are soaked.
Jump in every puddle you can find.
Stand there looking up into the sky with your mouth wide open as you try to drink the rain.
Wwhen I was a kid, we looked forward to playing in the rain! And we were allowed to stay outside as long as it wasn’t thundering.
That’s where I learned that cool trick about counting the mississippi’s to see how far away the thunder and lightning were. And if it was far enough away, then I would negotiate with my parents to let me stay out there longer…
Then that’s when I learned to try to say ‘mississippi’ as fast as humanly possible so that I would have a better case because it was ’so far’ away!
What about you?
Don’t you sometimes just want to go outside and play in the rain?
How do we get that back? How do we shake off all of the newly ingrained ideas that we have now that prevent us from being free like that?
Thoughts? And the only excuse that I’ll accept for not responding is that you were actually outside playing in the rain! 
what i learned from 2008

2008 was an amazing year at BibleDude.net… Not only for the blog itself, but also for the companion group on Facebook that was started later in the year. Robert from Middle Zone Musings is running a blogapalooza this month on “What I Learned From 2008″ where bloogers share their favorite posts from their own blogs for each month of 2008. Throughout the year there have been so many amazing posts and discussions, but here is my list of my favorite posts for each month of the year:
life is short – Early in the year I lost a friend, and this post was one of my greatest outlets for me to deal with some of the things that I was feeling. I still think about this post and this young man from time to time.- bible evidence :: bahr yusef – One of the things that I set out to do in 2008 was to focus on things that historically support the Bible. This ‘discovery’ was one of my favorites.
