Hi, I’m Petey Crowder. I’m addicted to running. I love to provoke people to see life differently, to seek the welfare of others and to unveil the plaguing narcissism around us. I do all of this pretty poorly. This is a space for me to leave pictures I find inspiring, thoughts I find provoking, links I find creative, and my personal prose theology that hopefully springs from community & continual prayer, reflection and learning.

And, it has deep revelations for the ideas of community, momentum, solidarity, & hope. Somehow the Blazer brass has dreamed up a cool way to tap into the energy of the city. That, in itself, is a great image of what we should be dreaming about as the people of God.</p>http://mrcrowder.com/post/405177034http://mrcrowder.com/post/405177034Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:25:32 -0600<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky5rl2KCGF1qzotf2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>access denied.</p>http://mrcrowder.com/post/403294727http://mrcrowder.com/post/403294727Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:55:26 -0600“For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.
