For 7 or 8 months now, our life group has been heading out to San Lorenzo park about once a month for a barbeque. We show up with the BBQ, 2 big jugs of water and lemonade, and about 50 burgers and 50 dogs. Then we share the food with whoever’s around and just get […]
For those who didn’t get one, or if it got lost in the mail (as I’m sure yours did), I figured I’d go ahead and post our Christmas letter as a way of quickly looking back on 2009… Another year has passed and it’s time for the third annual Marchessault family Christmas letter. We recognize […]
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. […]

“But God is present in reality no matter what unreality our practices and our ponderings imply. He is forever trying to establish communication; forever aware of the wrong directions we are taking and wishing to warn us; forever offering solutions for the problems that baffle us; forever standing at the door of our loneliness, eager […]
One of the books I read recently that had a big impact was Culture Making by Andy Crouch. One of the big ideas of the book…the only way to change culture is to create new culture. A few weeks ago I caught this story on Sunday Morning on CBS as I was on my way […]
God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him…through trials. -John Piper That statement has had a huge impact on me over the past several years of my spiritual formation. Fortunately I haven’t had any terribly dramatic trials to overcome in that time, but I figure they will come at some […]
