Jason Reynolds Life and Times

Texans are “a well-armed people”!

// March 29th, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Government, Hunting, Miscellaneous, News, Personal

First of all, I am not a gun nut. Yes, I love hunting more than any of my other recreational activities. Still, I only have three guns, all with the function of hunting. I have been shopping for a pistol, but more because I love shooting than because I feel threatened in my home. Even so, I have a loaded shot-gun just waiting for anyone daring enough to bust down my door. That said, Texas’ new gun law rocks, as does this Washington Post Article:

Where is Jason?

Everywhere and nowhere, that is where. In addition to some significant life changes I hope to blog about next month, I am in the midst of a big web ministry project at the church where I work. We changed our audience focus from insiders to outsiders, and are completely redoing our site visually and architecturally.

One Look at Humanity You Might Want to See

I found this video through a link at Cultivate Missional Living, a ministry which is:

 ”for young men and women [18 to 30 years old] who want to spend a year in an urban community living out God’s mission, while being trained and equipped as an apprentice of Jesus.”

I thought you might enjoy a solemn video that expresses my own view of humanity, Christ, and how we ought to view our work for the Lord.

I’m an Uncle (almost)

// March 15th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Family

My younger brother (by 19 months) and his wife are in the birthing room here at the hospital and we are expecting baby Logan any moment. She is at a ten and they are pushing (her more than him I trust). Any moment now I will be an uncle for the first time. Life is good!
[UPDATE: The baby has been born! Logan is 5 lbs. 14.4 ounces and seemingly healthy. We are pumped! I hope this does not mean I have to give up my wi-fi now.]

What Highrise from 37signals Means for Ministry

// March 6th, 2007 // No Comments » // Business, Design, Ministry, Web Ministry

Truth be told, that is just another one of my catchy subject lines to make you read the post (sorry to those seeking a trustful person, ’cause I am as depraved as any blogger). I have subscribed to 37signals news alerts by email and I just got one that summarizes something I have been looking forward to considering. You can read about their description of the product in the quote and at the links below, but let me just add that I am very excited to see how this tool could be used by church plants, smaller ministries, and those of us helping out ministries with technology. Looks to be a great way of keeping track of people in a low-footprint, agile kind of way.
