I want to introduce you to my good buddy Jason Berggren. Jason is the Children’s Pastor at CCML and has been with me since we planted the church. There’s no way we’d be where we are today without his leadership and dedication. GenerationPost is the name of the blog. So check it out.
Blogging Etiquette
My man Tally Wilgis is laying some serious smack down on his blog today with his post on Blogging Maturity. It’s a great read and totally needed. I think Tally’s blog on church leadership is one of the best out there. Everybody else just…oh yeah, I can’t talk like that anymore. I read his post. As you can see, the stuff is true and it works. But seriously, if you want to disagree, fine. If you have a comment that’s constructive, you don’t have to put it on display. I’m not saying you have to agree with everything someone writes, … Read More
Top 5 CD’s if I were on really on “Lost”
I guess the “If you were on a desert island, what CD’s would you want with you” is kind of played out, but since I’m a huge fan of the show “Lost”, let me give you my top 5 CD’s I’d want with me if I were stuck on that weird island (That is, of course if Sawyer hadn’t confiscated them)… #5 – Kiss Alive II by Kiss #4 – Illuminate by David Crowder Band #3 – Films about Ghosts by Counting Crows #2 – Jesus Freak by D.C. Talk (the Best Christian album ever!) …And #1 – Room for … Read More
Best Books for Church Planters – Part 4
So if you’ve actually been following this list of books on church planting, my #4 pick is An Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus. This book is just plain phenomenal! I am totally convinced that the books church planters need to read are by people that are actually doing it! You can’t figure out what needs to be done to build a church by reading stats and examining data. You’ve got to actually do it! And Erwin is leading a great ministry in Los Angeles called Mosaic. Erwin’s insights about where the church is currently and how the church has forgotten … Read More
Name that Movie
"He doesn’t even have his license, Lisa!" Remember, no sources other than your twisted mind can be used to name this movie. Also, throw in the character (That’s a hint) who said it… Enjoy…
ipod Queen
So I just read that the Queen of England just bought an ipod. A silver 6 Gig ipod mini. What does this mean for everyone else in the world? It means that if you don’t have an ipod, then the 75 year old head of the royal family is more technologically advanced than you. And that isn’t cool! So throw your 8-track player out and go buy one! Here’s my other thought: What songs do you think she’s purchased from itunes? Here are my guesses: "Kings and Queens" by Aerosmith"God save the Queen" by the Sex PistolsQueens Greatest HitsThe … Read More
I just have to know who woke up hearing these song lyrics…
“We’re off to outer space, we’re leaving Mother Earth To save the human race. Our Star Blazers. Searching for a distant star, heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind, who knows what dangers we’ll find? We must be strong and brave, our home we’ve got to save. If we don’t, in just one year, Mother Earth will disappear Fighting with the Gamalons, we won’t stop until we’ve won Then we’ll return, and when we arrive The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers.” Someone please tell me you remember the greatest animated TV show of ALL TIME!!!

Happy Birthday to my Blog!
Well, it’s official! My 1 month free trial is over and I’m actually paying for this blog now. That means I’ve reached my one month-anniversary! I’d like to say that it has been quite a ride. But honestly, it has been great. Getting to know the people I’ve been able to meet through the blog has been totally worth it. There are a lot of great people who love God doing some great things for the kingdom and I’ve enjoyed learning from them through the posts on their blogs and the comments made on my site. So month 2 here … Read More
Name that Movie – The sequel
I just wanted to give Carol and Carlos mad props on getting this week’s quote, because not only did they get it, they quoted major portions of “Can’t Buy Me Love” in the process. The funny part is that because I don’t expect people to know this movie as well as I do, I didn’t catch the quotes at first. I LOVE high school movies, but “Can’t Buy Me Love” is by far my favorite. I literally have every line of that movie memorized (Yes, I’m aware of how sad that is). So I tip my cap to you… “Jocks … Read More
