The life of a Pastor is many things, but if it’s anything, it’s loud. There’s so many voices all the time (insert joke here). I was driving home from my Pastor’s coaching meeting today and after calling Carey and catching up a little on how things were going, I spent a good while of my 3 hour trip home in silence. It was really nice. I’ve been in this mood lately where I’m listening to 2 songs off the new Five for Fighting album over and over again. The songs are just connecting with me. John Ondrasik has this ability … Read More
‘There’s a Reason for the World…You and I’
“I guess we’re big and I guess we’re small If you think about it man you know we got it all Cause we’re all we got on this bouncing ball And I love you free, I love you freely Here’s a riddle for you Find the Answer There’s a reason for the world You and I…” – The Riddle (Five for Fighting)
In Case You Missed it…
Here are my favorite posts of the week… – Gary hit it hard on his advice to church planters. Dang! – Todd had this post about the types of friends a Pastor needs. So true! – Scott’s post about people coming and going from church was amazing!
Teething…
Mia “officially” started teething yesterday. UGH!!! Mommy is doing all she can for her, but teething just hurts…
Hitting Home Runs with Your Family
If you’re a baseball fan, then you know Mike Hargrove, manager of the Seattle Mariners resigned last week. Peter Gammons shared this on his ESPN weekly column: “According to sources, he told general manager Bill Bavasi, clubbies and players that he’s been in the business for 35 years, and that when he was in Cleveland recently he realized that he never saw his children grow up and now is missing his grandchildren growing up.” I read this and tears welled up as I thought about how heartbreaking this is. I never want to look back and think that I traded … Read More
It isn’t the 4th of July without…
…The Annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. As a fan of competitive eating, I look forward to seeing men and women stuff their faces with hot dogs every July 4th. This year was a shocker as Kobiashi was defeated by Joey “Jaws” Chestnut as he ate 66 hot dogs and buns. Carey couldn’t believe that I was sitting in front of the TV eating lunch while I watched this battles of wills (and stomachs) take place. I don’t know what she was more grossed out by, watching men puke up 40 hot dogs or my running commentary on the competition … Read More
In Case You missed It…
Here’s some good posts that caught my attention this week… – Bill is reporting that Jack T. Chick is back with a new tract. Awesome! – Ben’s post here had me thinking about what we do and what we’re up against every week. (P.S. One of the best beaches in the world is 15 minutes away) – Jay’s post has “sermon material” written all over it! It’s amazing and disgusting all at the same time! – Perry’s post on stuff Church planters need to know is awesome! In my experience, church planters talk too much and listen too little. I … Read More
Monkey See…Monkey Do…
I was driving home from Tampa with my buddy Travis from a Pastor’s coaching network I’m a part of and we see this Porche with a monkey at the wheel. What? Did you read that correctly? Yes, a monkey! Like the one in the movie Outbreak! Anyway, people don’t believe me when I tell them that weird stuff happens to me all the time, so I told Travis to speed up so I could take a picture on my Treo. Here’s the proof…
Hidden Assets…
