I was just thinking this morning of the contrast between the language we hear from evangelicals such as Adrian Warnock, PJ Smyth and Mark Driscoll on the one side and one of my teenage heroes: David Wilkerson who wrote "The Cross and the Switchblade" and whose ministry led to change for so many lives. There we saw a lovely, gentle even naive Christian go into the middle of gang warfare and talk of love. In my memory I can't think of David ever using violent imagery to describe God or Christian CHARITY DELIVERS CANINE CHRISTMAS HAMPERS TO HOMELESS DOGS

I’m going to have a busy busy month of December. La Fête des Lumières I’ve written about the Festival of Light in Lyon before, and it’s coming around again. I’m going to bring the boys into Lyon with over 1 million other people to walk around cold streets looking at light shows on some of Lyon’s best known landmarks. This year will be bigger than ever, with a €2 000 000 budget, and I have had a sneak preview of some of the installations from training runs on the riverbanks of the Rhône and in Homeless In The Capital At Museum Of London
The homeless can sometimes be invisible; it is easy to look the other way and ignore the bodies in doorways, curled up on discarded cardboard or huddled in underpasses. There's an even harder to see section of the homeless moving from sofa to spare room to hostel to street and back again. Homeless in the Capital is a new exhibition that gives faces to the faceless, names to the nameless and dignity to these Londoners seeking shelter where they can find it.

Curtis and Lindsie at Angkor What’s the best way to pack for a year on the road? Okay, so it’s a trick question. Unless you’re off to tag penguins at a base in Antarctica, there’s simply no need — or even a good reason — to pack for a year. Eight months ago, my wife Lindsie and I pooled our savings, quit our jobs, rented out our condo, and set off to spend a year traveling the world. But a year’s worth of gear would be impossibly heavy; a year isn’t a vacation, it’s an expedition. So ratheThe T-List in 2009 and Beyond
