I used to be very anti-large and felt that true community growth could NOT be achieved in large churches. I still think very much this is true in many large churches. But I realized as part of a small upstart church, community is just as difficult to build in any size church depending on how it is envisioned and implemented.

Well, it seems like every other week I don’t get this thing on film. I certainly had time Sunday afternoon and during the off day Monday, but family *cough*spring cleaning*cough* took precedence. Short version today:
Last minute call from drummer again. Acoustic set again. Alone vocally again.  Went pretty decent with one issue. I’m not fully sure what happened, but somewhere between run-through Sunday at 8 [...]

I have the privilege of working in a situation that allows me to work from home from time to time if necessary. This helps in numerous occasions including days i would normally need to use a sick a day or special occasions such as today.
My dad has been in talks with his employer about transferring to Jacksonville, FL… ca. 1050 miles and 15 hours from [...]

Not that any of you care, but this new layout is temporary. I upgraded to WordPress 2.2 which supports widgets which basically means all that stuff on my right side column is more easily managed.  My old template did not support widgets, that is why i changed… that is why i deleted my linkage page…
I am also playing with some new plug-ins so really i’m [...]

The action sequences are pretty sweet, the story line is a bit “eh,” the love story is pretty lame / ridiculous, and there is plenty of cheese to go around. But…
The best way to judge any part of a trilogy / series is to imagine them strung together as one long movie. If its seamless, then how you feel about one should be how you [...]

To Catch My Drift. 

I’m so friggin’ tired today… but i didn’t even stay up that late. Maybe it’s because a text message that a friend sent me at 7 PM didn’t show up on my phone until 3:30 AM and woke me up…
I’m about as bored with the conference finals as I have ever been. SAS v Utah just annoys me cause i hate the [...]

The wife and I have designated Wed night as our “Poor Man’s Date Night.” Basically it’s a night just for us, after the kids go to bed… no working out, no church duties, no practicing guitar, and probably no 360 (dang).  This is night we generally use to watch one of our Blockbuster Online movies. We do the cheapy plan: One out at a time. This [...]

(Disclaimer: I know that the majority of my readers are women (so that either mean’s I’m a Christian Playa’ or not interesting enough for busy working men to take time out of their day… probably the latter ) but this post is for men. So if you’re one of those women that read this, please at least pass the article linked at the bottom of this post on to [...]

If I were single… heck… if I was childless even, I’d have a custom made neon sign with the words “Entering The gSpot” with some sweet looking “gSpot” logo right inside the door to my garage.
My garage is not your typical garage because my wife is not your typical wife. Lets take a quick tour of the gSpot.
