Pirate Blogging

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Have you ever posted on your blog and as people posted their comments, an entirely different conversation emerges?  It happens and I’ve given it a title:  Pirate Blogging.  I think this is what’s happening on the blog that Andy Stanley is posting on.  It’s awesome!  He gets to ask questions, get responses, but he doesn’t have to pay Typepad a thing!  I’m ready to subscribe with Bloglines to this kid’s blog just to read Andy’s pirate blog.  "Yo ho yo ho a pirate’s life for me…" 

Mr. 5,000

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I just checked my stats and I just passed 5,000 hits. That would make me a shoe-in for the Baseball Hall of Fame if those were base-hits, but they are blog hits and I don’t believe there are any awards for that. I know it’s not a huge deal, but I really enjoy doing this blog and if you are one of the 5,000 hits, thanks for reading…

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

After some encouragement and a little prodding, my beautiful wife Carey has decided to start her own blog.  It’s going to be great.  My wife is an amazing person that is breaking the mold of what a Pastor’s wife is "supposed to be".  No, she doesn’t play the piano and lead worship.  Instead, she shoots and edits video and is writing a screenplay.  You’re going to love her blog.  She’s got great insights and you’ll find everything from ministry insights, to recipes, to stories she’s written, and personal stories she’s experienced.  So stop by and say ‘hi’ to the prettiest … Read More

Message Prep – Mac Style

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Well, it’s finally out!  All Mac users can finally sleep easy at night because Quickverse for Mac is now shipping.  You can check it out here.  Thisis a great thing.  I’ve been a Quickverse user for years, so to see them step up before Logos does is a great thing.  This should be a great resource (I just placed my order) and it should get you non-Mac users to finally get right with God and take the step into the Mac world.  Let’s be honest, it’s just cooler to own a Mac! 

I forgot to give props…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I forgot to give props to my beautiful and ever-creative wife, Carey who designed my blog logo. Being the cereal fanatic that I am, she created this “Alphabits-esque” bobfranquiz.com logo that I love. I hope you like it too. I was waiting to say something because when I put it up, only Macs could see it. (PC with problems…second verse, same as the first) But I checked a PC yesterday and it was visible. Anyway, I hope you like the logo. I love it and I love my wife for being an amazing, creative genius! (Ca-ching – that was the … Read More

Blessed by the godfather of Blogging

Bob FranquizUncategorized

    I was in total shock when I saw my introduction on Terry Storch’s blog today.  I’ve seen the influence that Terry’s blog has and the great insights that he shares, so I was humbled and blessed to have him say the kind things he did about me & my little blog.  I felt as though the godfather of blogging had given me his approval.  Terry, it was very kind and I thank you (But please don’t make me kiss the ring).

Surrounded by New Bloggers!

Another new blogger has emerged onto the scene.  It is Mark Rodriguez, CCML’s Worship and Youth Pastor.  Mark is the ultimate Go-To Guy.  He is doing a phenemenal job as part of our staff.  Mark attended our very first service as a church and a year and half later we hired him to be our worship leader and graphics guy.  He’s got a great view on life and ministry.  We’ve always said he should have his own sitcom, so here’s his first step.  So if you get a chance, check out his blog and welcome him to the blogosphere!     … Read More
