I don’t know what I feel worse about, there being no power in church yesterday (which turned out surprisingly well) or the absolute pounding the Red Sox have taken over the last 3 days. I stayed up until 2AM watching the horror that was Sunday night’s game. This has just been horrible. I walked into the supermarket today to pick something up for Carey and I was wearing my Red Sox cap and a guy wearing Yankees shirt just looked at me with a face that could only be described the way we look at someone who’s been eating out … Read More
May I Introduce you to…
There’s a couple of blogs that I recently added to my blogroll that you may or may not know about. They’ve got great stuff, so check them out… Bill LaMorey – Bill was our administrator here in Miami until he went to go plant Calvary Fellowship in Hartford, CT. He’s a Yankees fan, but please don’t hold it against him. Actually, feel free to hold it against him! New England belongs to the Red Sox! Period. Anyway, he just started blogging, so give him a warm welcome. He’s one of the funniest guys I know and he’s the only one … Read More

Stuff I’m Thinking on Friday
Here’s a few things I’m thinking about today… #1 – I’m moving my books to the office. A total mission. I’ve got to clear out a room in the house for our new arrival. Carey says that the baby has no need for commentaries before he or she is two. I reluctantly agreed. You’ve got to instill the reading discipline early. #2 – I’m TiVoing Que Pasa Usa? and it’s helping Carey learn more Spanish. If you’re not familiar with this show, it’s like the Cuban version of Good Times. If you want to understand the city of Miami, this … Read More
Best News Ever!
Carey and I are having a baby! We’ve been trying since we got married 9 1/2 years ago and it’s finally happening! She’s 3 months along. We’re totally excited! We let the church know yesterday and the place freaked out! It was awesome because so many of them had been praying for us for years. I think some of them are almost as happy as we are. Carey and I are really looking forward to this new season of our lives.
More Mounting Momentum!
I just found out that our speakers for our Momentum Conference have confirmed that they’re coming! I’ll be telling you who they are soon… We had another awesome development yesterday that tells me this is going to be the event to be at if you’re a portable church. I’m totally blown away by what’s happening. We’ve been praying about doing this for so long and God is bringing this whole thing together! In the immortal words of the A-Team: “I love it when a plan comes together!”
Momentum Mounting…
I just had great meeting this morning about our Momentum Conference. I am totally excited about this. It’s a huge undertaking for us, but we really believe there is a need for practical help for church planters and churches meeting portable facilities. One of the things we are doing is committing to hosting the conference and showing people exactly what we do every Sunday. We’re not renting stuff for flash. We’re going to show what we do each and every week. I think this is the most helpful thing. Anybody can pull something spectacular off once or twice a year. … Read More
Rockin’ It Old School
I got home this evening and I had a package waiting for me. I had ordered the Schoolhouse Rock! DVD with all 46 songs ever made. It’s awesome! I’m excited to show this DVD to my 7-year old niece! I learned so much with these songs: – Like how a bill becomes a law – How to multiply by 3 – What a conjunction is – The American Revolution – Electricity – The value of zero (My hero) Good times!
I’m for sale on E-Bay
Well, not me, but my old band Amboog-a-lard’s demo sold for $31 on e-bay. People it’s a cassette! The reason it sold for that much is because one of our band members went on to join Marilyn Manson and sell millions of records. But I will think that I added something to the sale. 🙂
Book Review: Communicating for a Change
WOW! Those were my first words when I finished reading Communicating for a Change by Andy Stanley and Lane Jones. This book is an absolute must-read for anyone who communicates on a regular basis. Let me be totally honest and say that I’m a bit bias because I believe Andy is the best preacher in America. Andy gives an honest, practical look at preaching, but he challenges us to ask the question, “What are we trying to do with our messages?” Are we trying we just “Get through the material?” or “Trying to tell them everything about the text?” or … Read More
