Everyone Makes Disciples

I know I have people who follow Jesus and those that don't that read my blog, so when one hears me use the term "disciple" it might be a loaded word.  What do I mean when I say "disciple"? 


The term merely means one who follows another in their ways or teachings.  It can also mean a "learner" of someone or something.   


The problem is that most of us don't think we are being discipled nor do we believe that we are discipling someone else.   We believe that we are living our life how we deem best and we don't want to bother others with what we believe or think.  The issue is, in fact, we are all being discipled and we are all discipling others.  This really isn't the question.  The question is: To whom or what am I discipling others to?

Foodie Friday: It's All About the Rodeo

Tomorrow myself and a few friends will be heading to the Seattle Mobile Food Truck Rodeo.   There have been a couple of very helpful articles written by the Rodeo and also SeattleFoodTruck.com.  I wanted to put them up here to make it easier to find all the links and then give my top picks for the Rodeo that I am going to make sure and get a taste of.  


Helpful Tips For Newbies to Mobile Food Truck Festivals


This article is a great starter for those of us who have never been to one of these.  Because I am coming with 6 families, I am hoping we can divide and conquer.  The real test for the organizers for the Rodeo will be making sure there is just the right amount of entertainment to aid standing in line, without being overly entertaining, taking away from the food.  


After reading that article, you'll want to take a look at the great articles from SeattleFoodTruck.com that goes into a small description of each truck that will be at the Rodeo.   I've listed them below with my top places I'm going to make sure I visit while at the Rodeo.   I'll also link to each truck at the bottom if they have a webpage.

The Flipped Classroom: Education a Different Way

I like where this is going, but I still believe that we need to consider that learning in a community of peers is very helpful on many different levels. If they incorporated this learning with peers from different walks of life and different cultures, this would be taken to the next level. We just can't dismiss the long term affects of being a shut in when we learn new ideas in all walks of life.
