Thoughts on the Kindle
Well, I got my Kindle from Amazon on Friday evening and I just finished reading my second book on it, so I thought I'd share some preliminary thoughts on it. #1 – The Kindle is great! I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I love it. It's very easy to read on. I was concerned that my ate of reading would #2 – Not every book is available for it, which is a little frustrating, but I'm guessing that publishers will get with it with their back catalog as they are with new titles. #3 – The … Read More
Sunday Stuff…
This is going to be a "different" Sunday Stuff than normal, but here goes… – I didn't teach this morning. – On Wednesday, at my wife's Dr.'s appointment, they found her blood pressure to be higher than they liked and being 36 weeks pregnant, they sent her immediately to the hospital. – So she's been in the hospital since Wednesday. – What makes things a little tricky is that my daughter got a fever last night and so I've been treating her for that and letting her rest at home. – My daughter has never been sick – ever. … Read More
Don’t Stop Growing
Before becoming a Christian, I had only read one book in my life (an unauthorized biography on the life of Madonna – I bet you never pegged me as a material girl). But once I became a Christian at the age of 19, I got an insatiable thirst to grow in my faith. This took place because as a new believer, I didn't know anything about the faith. So I learned everything I could. When I planted Calvary Fellowship in 2000, I didn't know anything about church planting. I know God had called me, but I was totally unprepared for this level … Read More
I Took the Plunge!
Well, I finally ordered the kindle! I hope I like it. If not, I can promise you that it's going right back to Amazon. But I will say this: I just redesigned my entire office to add more bookshelf space and I'm out of space for my books again! It's a little frustrating. So I need the Kindle to work for me, because my next step is to kick myself out of my office and allow the books to completely take over :)

Reach More People without Breaking the Bank!
After sending out a 50,000 piece mailing that got dismal results I said, "That's it! I'm done with direct mail!" But before I totally gave up, I decided to learn about how it works for companies that were achieving tremendous success during direct mail. That's when everything changed! The next time we did direct mail, we employed new strategies that allowed us to spend a fraction of what we were spending previously and get a 300%-400% better return for our investment. These strategies have been a game-changer for us at Calvary Fellowship. I recorded these strategies to a group of Pastors … Read More
