My Treo

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I’m deeply upset! I dropped my Treo 650 the other day and the screen cracked in half. I’m not a happy camper right now. I’m using a replacement phone right now that is a real piece of crap! Although it does say nice things when you turn it off: it says, “Be Safe and be courteous.” While I appreciate the positive sentiment, I can’t wait to get my phone back from the repair shop…

Hello Nano!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Yes, I’m loving the look of the new ipod nano. I’m giving my subtle hints ( including this post by the way) about what I want for my birthday (which is in less than a month for those wishing to send a cash gift). I’m looking to upgrade my ipod, but I want to hear from those that actually have one. Please tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly, because I’m very close to putting at the top of my official birthday want list…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

There’s 7 games to go and the Red Sox and Yankees are tied for the lead in the American League East.  Oh, and they play each other this weekend for the last 3 games of the season!  So here’s the question: who wins it?  And by how many games?  Let’s see who gets it right… I’ll tell you what I think once I hear from you (you might be surprised)… By the way, this is the stuff that makes Baseball America’s pastime. There’s no better sport on the planet! Update: I just finished watching the game today (saturday 10/1) and … Read More

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…" 

Fan Club Button

I’d like to thank Mark, our worship/ Youth Pastor for designing our official fan club button. You can download it and wear it with pride. We are still taking fan club memberships (Please note there are no benefits to joining. Only the feeling of being in a cool club – It’s kind of like the Kiss army).

Andy Stanley Fanclub!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

In light of Andy’s recent hilarious remarks about people talking smack about Northpoint, I’ve decided to start the Andy Stanley fan club.  Since I am the only member at this point, I will elect myself the president.   Seriously, I am a huge Andy/ Northpoint fan, and I love the fact that Andy is reading a blog from this obscure guy who’s going to school.  It just rocks!  Membership is free and there are no benefits.  Sign up now!   

Book Review: Velvet Elvis

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I just finished “Velvet Elvis” by Rob Bell. I really enjoyed the book. If you like Rob, you will like the book. There were statements he made that I found a bit disturbing, but I don’t think Rob would want it any other way. There are some great insights in this book (his whole deal linking Mary thinking Jesus was the gardener and the garden of Eden is amazing). Great research for the book. I think this is the first time I’ve ever thoroughly read the bibliography. It gave me some great potential book buys. So pick it up. It’s … Read More
