This was an article on the front page of the Seattle Times today. It talks about new ways that young believers in the Seattle area are "doing church" and being more fully integrated into community.

Christa and I have been watching the show Monk lately. We like the obsessive compulsive detective and find the slow-paced murder mystery genre to be quite relaxing (other than the actual murder of course.)
