Transitioning into relationships….

One of the interesting things about being a college director, or the “pastor” of college students is that they are in the midst of a huge transitions in life. This is not the only stage or time in life where transition occurs, but it is one of the most obvious. The move from high school [...]

not a big surprise…..

by Rhett Smith on September 28, 2005

My family, and most of my friends, pretty much had the same response when I started a blog in the summer of 2004. Huh?

I have been a little slow in writing much these last couple of weeks. I find myself in the midst of some major transitions: 1) all of the schools within the ministry I pastor have almost all returned, so we have been gearing up for that by training new leaders, organizing our Wednesday nights, etc. [...]

A breath of fresh air……

by Rhett Smith on September 23, 2005

Dictionaries are wonderful tools and we would be the poorer without them, but in Gospel matters they are among the lesser helps.

LOST has slowly become my favorite show on television, and I can’t wait to watch my Tivo’d copy of it later (I probably shouldn’t miss the college group I pastor on Wednesday nights to stay home and watch it). I think the show is pretty amazing, and to add more layers to what you are [...]

Blogging Conference…..Coming Up

by Rhett Smith on September 20, 2005

In a few weeks, I will be taking part in something that I never would have imagined…even six months ago. I hardly knew what a blog was until about a year and a half ago, and everyone around me thought I was crazy, or making things up about this so called “blog.” But a year [...]

This is going to be an important, and exciting blog to read, as he has gathered together a great group of scholars from a diverse theological tradition. Here is the list of scholars, but to read their bios, if you don’t know who they are, check [...]
