My nephew had his graduation party at the local Elk’s club with 200 of his closest friends. As I walked in, I saw this reserved parking sign in the front of the spot closest to the door. I wonder if my staff would go for this? The title does have a ring to it 🙂
For Those with Daughters…
My wife sent me this today. I thought I’d share it with those that have daughters who will need an application of this type in the present or future. Download daughter_app1.pdf
In Case You Missed it…
Since I was on vacation, there have been several great posts that I hope you saw… – Jason had a great post/ picture of Snoop Dogg reading an Andy Stanley book on a plane. Hopefully he won’t “Drop it like it’s hot”… – Charles had a great post about Ricky Ryan’s session at the Calvary Chapel Senior Pastor’s Conference. It makes me happy that someone so well-respected like Ricky said this. It makes me happy that CC isn’t pursuing cloning technology 🙂 – Speaking of clones… I loved what Chris had to say about church clones. Must read! – Gary … Read More
I think I’ll go to Boston…
I love Boston. It’s my hometown. When we got off the plane and were driving to my sister’s house, Carey said to me, “It must be nice every time you come back here.” I said, “It’s like putting on your favorite pair of jeans. They just feel right.” The weather is beautiful. All conversation is about the Red Sox no matter where you are. Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is freely flowing (We don’t use the S-word when talking about coffee around here). Being with my family has made me realize how much I miss them. It’s nice to be home…
In Case you missed It…
Here are favorite posts of the week… – My man Rod Pearcy is back in the blog game. “Welcome back…your dreams were your ticket out…” – Chris’ post was great about actually being a Pastor to those in your church. Who thought that this would become such a novel concept? – Move over Weird Al, because Perry’s posts (here and here) about being fat were great. I struggled with my weight for years until I decided I wanted to be able to serve God for a lifetime. I echo Perry’s thoughts. – Thin guys like Ben can tell us about … Read More
Shots Heard Round the World…
Mia got her second round of shots today. I think it hurt me more than it hurt her (I’ve officially become one of those parents). At least it was a tie. We both cried. Mommy cried. We were a mess. It was easier than the 2 months shots (those were brutal). What was great is that the Dr. said Mia looks and acts like a 6 month old! I love being a dad!
14 Years Ago…
It was 14 years ago today that I gave my life to Jesus. My wife Carey made that decision on the same day as well. It’s the best choice we’ve ever made. Everything I have, everything I am, and everything I hope to be is all a result of following Jesus. “Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the … Read More
Season Finales…
With the exception of House, every show has ended for the summer. So here are my TV season finale thoughts… Criminal Minds – Amazing finale. My wife called it, that they would end the season bringing that freak Frank back. It was great. This could be the most underrated show on TV. The Office – Out of control. The last 10 seconds had me laughing uncontrollably. CSI – This would the CSI of the Las Vegas variety (I don’t watch the other 2). Great finale. They’ve been building this story line up all season long. I’ve been watching CSI since … Read More
In Case you Missed it…
Here were my favorite posts of the week… – Scott gave us the link to the NY Times article on the New Breed of Evangelicals. Good Article. – Perry’s post of the 10 mistakes Pastors make was excellent. – Steven got serious with this post about what people think. Awesome! – Chris’s post was out of hand. It got me thinking.
Waterworks…
Yesterday was amazing! We did Mia’s dedication at our 2nd service and it was very special. Needles to say, I cried. I put together a video based on stuff that I shot on the day she was born that turned out really good. I needed Carey’s help in cutting it down because the video was initially 30 minutes long. She got the video down to 5 minutes. I wonder what she could do with my messages 🙂 There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They both looked more beautiful than ever. There were people there who had been praying … Read More
