Wakey, wakey!

Welcome back to the DP blog!  It's been almost 4 years since our last post.  Take a look around, feel free to comment on old conversations, and please comment below with your ideas for new ones.

Meet Your Fellow Dwellers

One of the things I'd like to do with this blog as we get started up again is to feature various Dwellers from time to time.  I'll "interview" myself first to take the pressure off.  What are some questions you'd like to see featured, either for me or for others in the future?

Commitment

Laurie recently posed a question that I think would be worth some discussion: "What does Christian commitment look like?" It's one thing to say we attend The Dwelling Place, but are we really committed to living in community with this body of believers? And what does that commitment look like? If The Dwelling Place is going to thrive and grow and impact the world around us, what will that cost each of us? What are you willing to do to make The Dwelling Place the place you dream it can be?

Resurrection Sunday!

Here's a quote from Shane's sermon this morning:

"My hope is fastened to a cave outside ancient Palestine where you hear the shudder of death's crumbling stretching outward and whispering hope to the edges of the universe."

Are you living your life in a way that carries on that whisper?

Our New Site(s)

In addition to our new physical site in Broad Ripple, our website has now undergone a facelift. Be sure to take a look around and check out all the updates and changes. Also, now that the site has been updated, I'm going to attempt to get back to adding posts on a semi-regular basis. So, what are some discussions you'd like to see us have on the blog?

The Great Divorce

I was thinking that reading "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis would be a great way to finish out Shane's series on the Resurrection. I bought a copy today, and would love for anyone who's interested to please join me. You can post any comments, questions, discussion topics, etc. for the rest of us who are reading it on the comments section of this post. I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks!

Teen Girl Assaults Elderly Woman

This is the picture taken of 19 year old Jessica Vasquez as she was arrested for beating an 81 year old woman for aggravating her by driving too slow. She looks repentant, doesn't she?

Apparently, the elderly woman was driving too slowly, so this young gal sped around her and slammed on her brakes to force her to stop. She then walks back to the older woman's car, opens the driver's door and begins to beat on her. The older woman tried to get away, and this little gem pulled her out of the car and continued to wail on her causing the elderly lady, Evelyn Page, to fall into two lanes of traffic. Ms. Page's face was bloodied, her leg was broken in 14 places and she now needs a knee replacement surgery!

I realize elderly people can require extra patience, but I think we need to realize that (unless some tragedy cuts life short), this is the same state we will one day find ourselves in. Don't we want people to treat us with a little dignity at that point? If you want the whole story, visit http://www.theindychannel.com/news/16102256/detail.html.
