Timing is everything in life, isn’t it. Blue Joe was a great concept and so well executed. Alas, I can’t say the same for the economy!

Be proud of what you did.

Just been reading through all the comments… you all are great for being so supportive! Unfortunately, we did have to shut down the business suddenly, and it was sad for all of us. Maybe someday we will find new investors and will be able to reopen once again!

Comment on Book Review: Radical by David Platt by Jolliet

Just read it….and while it’s right on regarding believers “caring about” those struggling (“the poor”, in this book)…. I feel this pastor’s admitted “blind spot”, and deep concern about its existence,… is not necessarily “the blind spot of the church”. CAREFUL…as breaking away from the American Dream….might also include the American church’s push for its members to travel overseas on multiple short term missions trips,…as only “wealthy American church” can do. Platt seems to have been to many countries. Why? Isn’t this one of the latest swings of the evangelical American Pastor? Where’s the stewardship in how we are handling short term missions? In fact, there are many “blind spots” we, the Church, have to “see” and come to terms with,….and only one of these is our “caring about the poor”. Also, remember the Word of God…when it warns the believer not to care for the poor publicly, for men to see. Do it in secret… privately… not for the praise of men….or the excitement of the Church.

God has used the book Radical to awaken me! I am so excited to see where He is going to lead my family as we choose to believe Him and move into a radical life to bring Him glory.

Thanks for offering your perspective of the book ‘Radical’ by David Platt. I had a very different perspective and reaction to ‘Radical’ to offer in the review that I did that actually produced a response from someone who is from Platt’s church that was mentioned in the book! Here is the title and link to the article:

It’s so easy to get distracted from the who of Christmas by the what of Christmas. I’m pretty sure I’ll remember your words almost every time I look at the Christmas tree this year. Thanks for a great reminder and a great post, Marla!
