Pride Comes Before the Fall // and the fall hurts
What a whirlwind of a weekend. Kristen and I got away Friday night and stayed in a little bed and breakfast and then got up to meet some friends for a day of climbing. The weather was a touch on the cool side, but almost perfect other than a little wind. I’ve been all jacked [...]
Journey Bible Class // how to study the bible
Part of the process of taking next steps this year is implementing Journey Bible Class on Wednesday nights. We got this idea from Granger Community Church up in Indiana and then contextualized it for our purposes and needs (but much thanks to them for laying much of the groundwork in this and for communicating with [...]
The Trip // been waiting on this
I’ve had a trip planned for about a month now to Sand Rock so that Kristen and I could get away together. We haven’t done that in a while. We’re staying in a little bed and breakfast on Saturday night, and then we’re going to climb most of the day on Saturday before returning to [...]
All Creatures // one of those songs that clicked this morning
I sing alot. It’s what I do. Sometimes when I’m memorizing a song and practicing, (perhaps more often that it should, especially since I speak against this) the words just seem to come out and I don’t think a whole lot about them because there is so much more that I’m responsible for. That is, [...]
Voting on a New Avatar // that little pic up in the corner of twitter/ichat/facebook/whatever
Scott took some pics today because I don’t have any pics of me recently…with longer hair…and much shorter facial hair. We’re gonna get together soon and let Scott do a shoot of Kristen and I together. Look for those pics soon. Scott’s amazing and I’m really looking forward to some family shots out at his [...]
Creativity // some more thoughts
A few weeks back I wrote a post on an article that I was reading called How to Be Creative. And I’ve been in that mode recently where I have been doing a lot of creative thinking, tossing around ideas and planning for future series and services for Cornerstone, so it seemed like an appropriate [...]
Jesus’ Denominational Ties // don’t get all upset
Earlier today a friend of mine said something to the effect of, “Turns out, Jesus wasn’t a Methodist.” To which I would add, “Or a Baptist, Pentacostal, etc., etc.” But for some reason, “we” get this idea that “we” must have denominational ties that are really important, yada, yada. Now don’t go getting upset and [...]
Clean Straight Lines Graphic // for real…this is literally about clean straight lines
I e-mailed a friend from high school last night about, who is a graduate of SCAD, about doing a graphic for the new website look. I’m pretty stoked to see what Cliff turns out for me. I’m going to tell you the story of the friendship Cliff and I have one day soon. But, for [...]
Random Thoughts // just saying…that’s where I am right now
My mind is racing. Swimming. Going in circles in a good way. All kinds of stuff going on. All kinds of thoughts and ideas. Ready to see them play out. Ready to lead people towards some next steps. Want to be intentional about wise moves. Excited to see what God is going to do next. [...]
Man2Man // my Tuesday routine
Its clear by now that I suck at making videos. If anyone wants to give me an education on how to make them with higher quality, I’m open for an education. Anyway, on Tuesday mornings, I wake up at 4.55 to begin getting ready for Man2Man. Its just a big_ goup of guys who gets [...]
