douglasryoung.net commented on the blog post A Review of Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life's Weeds Karyn, Thanks for commenting. I understand your sentiment. I think Donald Miller has opened up a ton of interest in his memoir style and I think Sarah has found her own niche in Picking Dandelions. I didn't express this in my review, nor have I shared it with her in our email dialogue, but I [...]

douglasryoung.net wrote a new blog post: AGAPE A simple conversation one evening generated something that still leaves me in awe. It was the evening before Thanksgiving 2009. Family had gathered at my sister's house in Beeville, TX. Someone, I think it was my niece, Courtney, asked a question about love. Not the generic, common love that pervades the world. Not the kind of love expressed on a [...]

douglasryoung.net wrote a new blog post: A Review of Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life's Weeds I hadn't felt like I'd traveled backwards in time, and spent moments with someone I didn't know, like this since I read Donald Miller's , Blue Like Jazz. I'm serious. No hyperbole here. Sarah Cunningham's , Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life's Weeds did that for me. Do you know the feeling of seeing something you know you shouldn't have? Remember catching [...]

Another lesson I'm learning here at the New Mexico Christian Children's Home is that time is precious. It flies by like dust through Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle. We are adjusting well to our new surroundings and new labors. We are working now [...]

douglasryoung.net commented on the blog post Day 1 David... Can't tell you how much your friendship means to me. I am glad that we are going to be even closer than before and that our churches have an opportunity to do things together. Pumped about that. As we continue to figure things out and get settled in, hopefully things will open up a [...]

The oldest is 13; the youngest is 18 months. They will stay with us for a week, then a new set of kids will spend the week with us. When House Parents have their week [...]

Clay knows me well enough to know that I write for various, not the least of which are to address things and people who need to see things for what they are. Clay is one of my best friends.

douglasryoung.net commented on the blog post He Got It... Clay... You are right. My intent wasn't to paint with such a broad brush. My intent was to contrast a perspective that might not necessarily the majority, but as it relates to me has been the perspective from which most have been outspoken, with that of someone I didn't even know. He, in my mind, [...]

By all appearances, he might not be the kind of person you'd think would get it. But he did. That's what we get for thinking in terms of common stereotypes. I'm sure, for some of us, [...]

The last week has been one of the more interesting weeks of my life and I think this week will probably wind up topping it in the "interesting" catagory. We've been doing a lot of staffing at NMCCH, learning more about the kids who live here and observing how other houseparents operate [...]

douglasryoung.net commented on the blog post Relationship or Rule Keeping or Both??? Mike... I agree with you my friend. When there is a real, authentic relationship, everything else falls into place!

I am preaching at 21st St. Church of Christ on 27th. Why don't you bring the family?
