This is a stickey subject - I have been an unofficial (and sometimes unwilling, sometimes unwittingly) mentor in various aspects of the Journey - but I am most often feeling I'm the one needing mentoring, discipleship, and accountability...what kind…
"Forgive my ignorance - but I'm trying to clarify the focus / purpose of such an event - is it (A). a celebration BY "believing geeks" of secular geekdom, which MAY include "christian" flavors, or (B). a celebration OF secular geekdom, which MAY…"
"no service scheduled that i'm aware of - we ran one for over 10 years, but as i took a sabbatical, no one who stepped forward could keep it going - give me a call - 773-425-1766, to set up a meet at the show and possible other present and future…"
Justice Carmon here (tall goateed geek from Wheaton - we met through Karitos event) Are there any plans for a worship service on Sunday - seems not, but you had mentioned this happened at one Con before. I'd love any opportunity to talk…"
"Depending on which translation you read, verse 20 will say that if they come or if they came, then go. If the Hebrew should be translated if they came (being a reference to the men that already came) then the verses may be hard to understand. If it…"
"I have a somewhat interesting story with regard to mentoring, because my first industry job (aside from freelance stuff) was as an Apprentice. I grew so much as an artist during those six months, it was unreal. I was apprenticing as a CG animator,…"

"Over the last six months or so I've found myself involved in a mentoring situation with
a man about ten years younger than myself. He describes himself as a cartoonist

"Everyone's a supporter at my Church....we learn to support and to accept support (which is hard for me sometimes)....I'm really just encouraged to see other artists in the family at my church...two even work at Pixar!"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
George- I've been praying for your friend Deb every day since you sent out the text message. How is she doing? (I don't seem to have a working e-mail address for you anymore.) Please let me know -- Thanks! In Christ, Nate
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
I happened to see your confirmation of friendship with John Pierce and had to drop a line. Marty Oakley talks of highly and it seems you and I share the blessing of botched hernia mesh repair surgery! Yours is much worse and am continuing to lift you up in prayer.
God bless,
Jimmy Stewart
PS: Hope you won't hold my association with Marty against me (Ha!!)
