It’s Not You. It’s Me.

I’m sure we’ve all heard or said those words at some point in our lives.
And…let’s face it.  It’s a cover-up.
We usually don’t think that the problem is us.  THEY are the reason it’s not working.
We just like to wear our false humility.  And we all like a good excuse. Continue Reading…

Foods on the Menu at Heaven

I’m convinced that some foods are going to have to be in heaven.  They’re just too incredibly tasty not to be.  And…I’m sure they won’t make us fat in heaven either.

Here are 10 foods, in no particular order, that I expect to eat in heaven.  What would you add to this list? Continue Reading…

What should the church look like?

church

There are so many opinions out there about churches, both good or bad.  Out of curiosity, in an ideal setting what do you think church should look like?  What characteristics, ministry, etc…do you dream of seeing in a church?

Tell me what you think works or would work below in the comments.  (Leave out the things you wouldn’t do).

Five For Friday

Here are some links for you to check out from this week:

  1. Amazing.  That’s how I would describe the analogy in this video by Francis Chan. (via Catalyst)
  2. In case you missed it, we made this video and song this week for a contest for the Melting Pot.  And….WE WON!!!  Free fondue for a year!
  3. Intriguing post asking the question, “Is SEO the future of evangelism.” I’m thinking that this is an incredible idea.
  4. Mountain Lake Church is throwing a FREE mass wedding.  What do you think about it?  I think I like it.
  5. I pray that the church that we plant can be a dream factory like Mark Batterson talks about in this post.

My Dream Year…

dreamyear2010

Is there something inside of you that you’ve always dreamed to do?  Maybe even something that makes you say, “there’s no way that will ever happen?”

I have some dreams that make me shudder.  Dreams bigger than I could ever accomplish on my own.
But…I’m still going to attempt at making them happen.  I cannot truly live without putting my best attempt at it.

2010 is my dream year.  Heck…I’ve even got a dream coach to help inspire and prod me towards making them happen.

I think that great things happen when audacious dreams become reality.  What are your audacious dreams?  What’s stopping you?  Take the risk.

I’m going to be sharing my dreams with you this year on this blog.  Perhaps you can even join me in making it happen.

We’re Like Milk Chocolate

fondue-blog

A couple of days ago, I saw that the Melting Pot was having a contest in honor of National Chocolate Fondue Day.  They wanted users to submit a 30 second video & explain which type of chocolate fondue best represents you: dark, milk, or white.  The winner will receive free fondue for a year ($1,200 worth).

SO…we decided to enter.  Here’s my family’s entry for the contest.  We’ll find out if we win on Thursday.  Everything in the video (footage, music, singing, etc…) is completely original and is me, my wife, and my little boy, so hopefully they’ll think it’s creative!

We’re calling it Like Milk Chocolate.  We’d love to hear your thoughts about it!

Five For Friday

Here are links to five things that caught my eye this week:

  1. This video cracks me up.  I would have probably joined in the cheering as well. (Disclaimer for those that are ultra-sensitive: there is one cuss word)
  2. If you’re like me, life is way too busy most of the time.  Here are 43 simple ways to simplify your life.
  3. For all of the Christians out there that struggle with things not feeling spiritual all the time, this post by Brad Ruggles is right on.
  4. I love the Melting Pot.  I’m definitely making a video for this contest.
  5. “What if we through the Buts out?” is an awesome post about radical grace.  We all need to give and receive more of it
