Five Significant Moments of 2009

December 31, 2009 in Family with 0 Comments

Everyone else is doing it, so I thought I would write a post about five significant things that happened in our life and ministry in 2009.

They may not seem very significant to you, but they mean a lot to me. I hope these posts convey a little about how we have journeyed through 2009, watching what God is doing at every turn.

I’m amazed at what is happening in my life.

Thanks so much for being a part of our family and ministry!

Urbana ’09 Tweetup

In preparation for the Urbana ’09 Tweetup, I was looking back on the things I have written in the past about Twitter.

I thought I’d post the links so that those who are interested can read some of my thoughts on twitter.

I hope they are useful for those interested in Twitter and social media as well as ministry and God’s mission in the world.

I hope these posts are useful. By the way, you can follow me on twitter at twitter.com/drpoulette

What about the Incarnation?

December 28, 2009 in features, Missions with 0 Comments

The theme of Urbana ’09 is that God Dwelled Among Us. It’s all about how God “moved into our neighborhood” with the incarnation.

In tonight’s general session, we explored this concept a little.

Here are my notes from General Session #1 at Urbana:

When God wanted to show us His love, He chose to have His Son here with us. The incarntation is:

The MEANS by which God reaches out to us.

  • To honor someone in the middle east, you go to them where they are comfortable just like Jesus did with us.
  • When God showed us His love, He came to us.

It is the MESSAGE that God has for us.

  • We have seen His glory.
  • We can experience His grace.
  • We are challenged by His truth.

We should not be surprised if people reject the truth today…they rejected Jesus.

It is the MODEL for how we minister.
As the Father sent me, I am sending you.

Another thing that struck me hard was this phrase: Even the darkness was not dark to you.

Imo’s Pizza in St. Louis

December 26, 2009 in Urbana '09 with 0 Comments

I didn't even know that St. Louis has it's own style of pizza until tonight.

Since it's about 29 degrees outside and I'm exhausted, I decided to just order some local food from a place called Imo's pizza.

St. Louis style pizza is super thin, almost like a cracker, and it has a different kind of cheese on it than regular pizza. I think the cheese is called Provel. It's tangy but good.

Overall, I liked it. Plus, they delivered it right to my hotel room.
