Here is the intro to today’s message at Indian Creek Olathe. I’ll share the rest inside the message. Come on out in the snow.
A major snowstorm is predicted to hit KC tomorrow. Read closely because some things are going on as normal (worship gatherings) and other are different (Spring Fest) on each campus. Attention All Creekers!
The following is an excerpt from the book backwards: Created to Live SENT He started with a guitar and ultimately impacted South Africa. Tim Stout, a good friend who plays the guitar, patterned his style after Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel fame. Tim played Simon’s tunes over and over to learn the chord progressions, rhythms, and lyrics.

One day when I was attending college in Houston, Texas, I was walking through Love Park with my friend, Kenny. The park was adjacent to the campus of Gulf Coast Bible College. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was interrupted by the ugly sound of fists striking flesh.
The following is a story I tell from the book backwards: Created to Live SENT I grew up in Alaska, the son of a missionary couple, Paul and Ruthie Kendall. We spent two of our summers before I was sixteen crisscrossing the lower 48 to raise funds. I was still a young man when I could say I’d been to 49 states (Hawaii had to wait).
One of my best friends in the early days of Indian Creek was a guy named Roger Swanwick. He would tell you he gave the self directed life a go. He fought in Vietnam and lived to tell about it.
It is a privilege to spend the next four days writing at a lake house in GA courtesy of our friends, Rick and Lynn Mercer. We met Rick and Lynn in the year two of the Indian Creek church plant. They were an important part for nearly five years before moving to Georgia.
St. Patty’s day has become a tradition that is uncoupled from the true story of his life. I thought you might enjoy knowing the truth and be motivated by it.
