JustOne Video Series: Michael Sweeney

I'm running way behind on these. I really like how Micah Ridley and Alan Stengel have handled these. Here is the president of Emmanuel speaking about his path to the ministry he now stewards.

JustONe WeekSix Slideshow

My photographer was on Spring Break this week, so you'll have to suffer through my photos (but at least you get Tom Root's music).

JustOne Video Series: Adrian Fehl

Here's the video we made with Adrian Fehl, longtime friend and missionary to Ethiopia.

JustOne Video Series: Heather Hoover

I'm finally getting these videos up on the blog. The idea behind this series is to encourage our youth to consider their calling as they imagine their futures. We're looking at a series of ministries within the church and church related institutions.

Last fall our Christian colleges asked us to spend a Sunday asking youth to consider vocations. We decided to spend the Spring semester of Two4Two on it.

Special thanks to Micah Ridley and Alan Stengel at Milligan for making these videos. They've been great to work with. And, of course, special thanks to Heather for being willing to share this way.

Here is your preview of tonight's slide show. I have to thank two Sams this week (but one of them is Samantha). Thanks everybody for your help in putting these together!

My Fave Five from Last Week's Two4Two

Finding my Five Faves this week was rough because I just didn't take great pictures last week. Someday I will invest in a real camera instead of using my cellphone (although I am thankful for what I have).

Mr. Luzadder looking dapper on St. Patty's Day.

Charles decided to grow a goatee. Hmm... he reminds me of another Charles whom I liked very much.

Meghan goes to battle with Abby in Carpet Ball.

Abby is obviously up to the challenge.

And Miss Nipper awaits the baking of the bread.

March 17th Two4Two slideshow

Here is tonight's video. Sorry I didn't get around to posting my Fave Five pics from last week, but they're all in this slideshow.

Tonight's Slide Show

Sam did a great job creating this week's video/slide show for Two4Two. Hope you enjoyed it.

I haven't had the chance to upload photos from last night, but here is last night's slideshow.

My Fave Five from Last Night's Two4Two

I'll try to keep this up, but you know how blogging goes. On again. Off again. Last night's Two4Two was another good night and I'm very glad snow didn't prevent us from gathering.

I received a couple of requests to repeat the Amena Brown video I showed during Rendezvous. You'll find that video at the bottom of this post. She sure has a powerful poetic voice.

Now to the photos:

I told Brooke and Abby to look unsure about each other.

I told Ashley and Talulah not to look at each other.

I told Seth to look pensive.

I think my daughter was feeling competitive during dodge ball.

Austin took time to pose for me as well.

Scenes from Two4Two ... Week One!

The return of Two4Two and Rendezvous went well on Wednesday night. These are my favorite pics of then night, beginning with Ryan and the band leading the worship time.

I love this picture of the Ross Ladies!

And Sosie's picture is my favorite of the night. This little girl is bursting with personality.

Logan and Anna are table mates during the meal time.

I'm thinking Travis has his hands full with Thomas.

Here's Thomas smiling for us again.

Jack is in the house.

You is in this picture with Jonah.

Seth strikes a pose.

In a biblical anachronism, Samuel blesses Isaac.

And check out the smile on Mihail! This picture is my shining achievement of the night.

The foyer bristles with the incoming.

Two 4 Two Season Finale'

The end of Spring Two 4 Two has arrived. It was a good ten weeks, thanks to all of the volunteers who make Two 4 Two possible. These are pictures from previous weeks .

Matteus, Brook, and Claire.

Anna, Kara, and friend.

Thanks, Sam, for all of your hard work on the pictures and slideshows.

Ethan and Jim helped, too. Thanks for running the projection booth.

And now, the last slideshow .... we'll be backkkkkkk

Two4Two: April 1st, 2009

Here is the slideshow from tonight's Two 4 Two ... we only have two more left in this semester. Enjoy.

Dissertation Update, Two 4 Two, and Max Miller

First: Dissertation Update: Tomorrow (Friday) is the due date for the mentor approved copy of my dissertation. Sadly, my mentor's mother died this past week and I won't make the deadline. My mentor is a good guy and I am terribly sorry to hear of this turn of events. Feel free to pray for Dr. Lowe. The next, and less important, matter is whether or not I can still try to graduate in May. As far as I can tell, it is still possible. The DMin office is willing to give it a try if I am. So, we'll see.

Second: Two 4 Two: It was great to be back this week. Here are some pics from the night. We were really glad to see Sir Isaac again. We miss you, Isaac.

Meg led the bread-making group.

Jared

Isaiah

Lola

Allisa and Anna

Eden

Ella

Third: Former Emory professor, Max Miller, spoke at Grandview on Tuesday night, delivering the first Kershner Lecture for Emmanuel School of Religon. He was really good. I learned!
Here is incoming president of Emmanuel, Mike Sweeney, introducing Dr. Miller.

And, of course, Dr. Miller himself.

Two 4 Two returns!

It's back, and better than ever ... really. Last night was fantastic, from the fellowship time, to the meal time, to the worship time, to the study time. If you see Ryan or Dana, be sure to tell them "Good job" because Two 4 Two continues to be an important part of Grandview's response to the gospel.

Now to some random scenes from last night:

The youth preparing to make the communion bread for Sunday mornings (learning to bake and learning to provide important things for worship).

Dee and granddaughter.

Boys CANNOT resist the urge to make shadow puppets.

The dining area was packed out, and the food was great (thanks to Jennifer and Susan).

Frank enjoying is status as Dee's fiance'.

Jack hitting the carpet ball table.

I love this picture.

Aubrey buying a ticket to Grand Central Station.

Haley and Bethany (Haley wanted me to appreciate her pro-Kentucky, anti-Vol, anti-Gator T-shirt).
