Blogs I Read

  • Solvr
    Just ran across this, haven't tested it, but it brings instant goosebumps. I just could be one of the greatest shortcuts from the "itch you can't quite scratch" stage to the "Eureka!" stage. Be glad to discuss it with others who might be as hungry as I to develop creativity skills.

  • hingesofhistory
    Doug Dillard started this to build stories of the thirty years of cataclysmic changes he recorded as cartoonist for The Baptist Standard and other religious periodicals. But it has grownto a personal memoir of his long pilgrimage as a Christian minister and creativity consultant.

Group 1 spells fun

  • Group1_1009_048
    Group 1, our largest of eight care groups, includes most of the singles, widows, and widowers in our class. They meet monthly for a pot luck supper and annually invite the teacher and outgoing director and spouses to an appreciation dinner.

Lunch Bunch

  • Lunch112105_045
    Sunday lunches after worship began as a thoughtful gesture by members Ed and Bess Moore. It was an attempt to introduce some of our newer members, many of whom had been in his class when he taught at Prestonwood Baptist, to some of the "regulars" in our class. It started out with just a table full. Now we will usually have one to two dozen at Luby's. Recently, a few who craved more variety, have started posting options for the Sunday Lunch Bunch. It remains a great way to integrate new members in our growing fellowship.

Meal Ministry

  • Meals_lastbunch3_05072006
    The Dillard Class has always shown care for members during times of bereavement and illness by bringing in home-cooked meals during the times they needed it most. In 2005, Marah Dillard became home-bound during her 13-year bout with chronic bronchiactasis. Marah had been class secretary as long as Doug has taught the class. She missed Sunday School terribly, and missed her Friday "date nights" when Doug always took her out. Under the direction of our Inreach Team, class members started bringing meals each Friday and spending a few minutes cheering her up and feeling connected once again. Marah went home to the Lord at 2:40 PM Sunday, May 28, 2006.

Photos from the Youth Revival Reunion

I have just posted a photo record of the Oct. 18-22 reunion of leaders of the youth revival movement at Baylor University. I shot from 125 to 240 photos each of the five days. I assembled them on my new MacPro, so I posted them on my .MAC site. The address is lengthy to type in your browser, so just click this link: http://web.mac.com/brotherblotz/iWeb/Youth Revivals Remembered/

I'll write more about it soon. This week of reunion was almost as life-changing as the experiences of the 1940s themselves. At least, it brought back all the emotions and made us all long to see "an old match light a new flame." It made me realize how far reaching was the influence of that revival movement, and how extensive the contributions that were made by those who were fortunate enough to be a part of it.
