The NewLife blog will be taking a break for at least this week and the next as I adjust to the birth of baby boy Stillman #3 (boy #4 if you count last year’s miscarriage).  The baby is scheduled to land on this planet tomorrow, 08.08.08, probably at 8:08 AM, weighing in at 8 lbs, 8 oz.  Please pray for my wife Michele & I as we attempt to survive a 3 year-old, 1 year-old, and newborn (and church ministry, of course) over the next months!

I will leave you with an interesting link to check out today… apparently the TV reality craze has hit Christianity:  a new show called “Make Me a Christian” is debuting this month over in England (read about it here).  Apparently 13 non-Christians are going to “give up their normal lives and attempt to live like Christians” (lol) as they are taught about Christianity through Bible studies and mentoring by British religious leaders.  I’m not sure if you can watch this on the web, but it sure would be interesting.  I can’t imagine the British religious leaders, which include a Catholic priest, a curate from the Church of England, a leader of the Christian Party (not sure where that’s held, but it sounds like fun…) and a pastor of Kensington Temple, even agreeing on what it means to be made a Christian!  Is it living your life a certain way?  Agreeing to certain doctrines?  Repeating a prayer and asking Jesus to be your Savior (sorry, ”Saviour”)?  Becoming a faithful church-goer?  I can just see the 13 contestants listening in amusement as the religious leaders each try to convert them to their definition of Christianity…

Anyways, I’m off to go further complicate my life.  I’ll see you again when my “vacation” ends.
