Bob FranquizUncategorized

You read it here first!  According to my sources (The Boston Globe), the Red Sox will play a 3 game series during interleague play at Dolphin Stadium (10 minutes from my house) on June 30-July 2.  If anyone is interested as to where I will be ALL THREE DAYS, you can find me there.  I can’t wait!  There’s only 11 months to go!  Go Sox!!!!

The Stages of Church Members

Bob FranquizChurch

Dan Kimball has an amazing post about the 10 stages of church members and their relationship to the local church (Thanks Jason).  Thank God not everyone goes through this (Or I would have ended up in the ‘HaHa’ house long ago), but it’s so accurate with some.   Read it here… Let me know what you think.

Help a Brotha out!

We’re looking to do a redesign of our church website. So I’m asking for your help. I’d like to know what you think the best websites on the web are (Church or not). I’d like to check them out and get some ideas. I appreciate the feedback…

Top 5 Baseball Movies of All-Time!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I have a theory…that there has never been a bad baseball movie.  So I decided to share my top 5 favorite baseball movies of all-time: #5 – Mr. Baseball (I’m a huge Tom Selleck fan!)  #4 – Major League (How can you not love Willie Mays Hayes and crew?) #3 – Field of Dreams  ("If you build it, they will come" – One of the most classic movie lines ever!)  #2 – The Natural (It’s hard to put this movie at number 2 because I’ve never been able to watch this movie and not cry. Roy Hobbs is one of … Read More

As you’re wondering who sang that song (The Pointer Sisters by the way), I am so excited abut this weekend’s message at CCML. I’m teaching a message called, “Whatever it Takes” as we talk about the future of our church and the amazing opportunities that are before us. So I’m excited about finishing up that message. Also, we’re planning a brand new series called, “Message in a Bottle.” (Will we play the song? Who knows?) But I’m really looking forward to what’s in store. I’m so glad to be the Pastor of this church!

Solo…Duo…Treo!!!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

So I finally took the plunge and bought a Treo! So let me give you my review – AWESOME!!!!!!! This thing is out of control. Besides checking the Red Sox score on the web while I was at the Marlins’ game, I used the camera to take the picture you see of the game and I checked my e-mail while I was there too. It’s totally amazing. I can blog on it. It think it does everything except make waffle fries. So get one, you won’t regret it!

My Break comes to an end…

Well, it’s time to go back to the office tomorrow. We finished our couple of days off with a Marlins’ game. Great game! A.J. Burnett pitched a 3-hit shutout as the Marlins won 5-0. We had a great time with our good friends Pedro and Lourdes. They planted a Calvary Chapel in Kendall, which is a great church in south west Miami. Here are a couple of pictures. What did I take those picture with? Ahhh, the subject of my next post…

The Drudge Report has a story about the Biblical Pool of Siloam having been found.  I love it when stuff like this happens!   The story is here.   

Playing Hooky – Part 3

Bob FranquizUncategorized

After the beach, we walked around Lincoln Road for a while and stumbled into the coolest Banana Republic I’ve ever been in.  This store is actually a converted Chase Bank.  The dressing rooms are in what used to be the bank vault!  That’s just awesome!  But we walked forever and then stopped at Starbuck’s for a delicious beverage.  We did tons of stuff and carey’s blog has all the pictures that we took…
