I’ve been thinking a lot about complacency lately. It’s easy to become complacent with your marriage, relationships, your job, chores, etc. I am starting to think it stems from a few things: (1) laziness – you know what you need to do, but choose not to, (2) boredom – you need something new, new life, [...]

slammed with Summer Slam

I have a TON going on in the next 20 days (thanks Linda!). We’re into full swing planning mode for Summer Slam. I ordered our mailing today to the community, bike helmets, and posters. Got a new sponsor potentially and arranged for the local EMS to be on stand-by. But the biggest thing troubling me [...]

I received an e-mail just a few minutes ago from a grandfather who has been bringing his 2 grandchildren to our church. Their parents are against organized religion and refuse to bring the kids. If grandpa doesn’t come, the kids don’t come. Anyways, he was inquiring about all the opportunities we have for children at [...]

This was posted by Kendra Golden over at lifechurch.tv blog. Thought it had some good points:
The Kids Down the Hall
I get chills every time. The message closes, Craig acknowledges the hands, the lives surrendering to Christ, one by one. Maybe you’ve had the honor of standing in front of that human sea. Jesus promised to [...]
God and ladders…

So my 3 year old and I were driving in the car this afternoon and he brought my attention to the clouds.
him: “Momma are those clouds?”
me: “Yes they are”
him: “What for?” (his favorite phrase repeated ALL day long)
me: “God put them up there.”
him: “Does God have a ladder?”
me: “Why do you think God has a [...]
children’s challenge – uh-oh…

Okay, so one of my partners in the children’s ministry helped the kids challenge our offering collected last week. They set a goal of $100 to collect before Spetember 2nd. If they achieve that goal and we do collect $100, then my end of the deal is to color my hair either green or pink. [...]
slothfulness…

Interesting thought tonight from small group…
Is not sharing Christ with others an act of slothfulness? What holds us back? Why do we put it off?
Whew!

It has been SUCH a week!
I don’t even know where to start! JD was at camp for the week as a dean for Jr. High students. I was at home with our 2 kids – 3 and 1 1/2. That exhausts a woman! I know why God’s plan is for married people to have kids! [...]
Sunday thoughts…

It was an AWESOME day in SO many ways!
* KIDMO went great! We mixed it up a ton! The kids picked up on that quickly and I told them it was “KIDMO remix.” The energy was high, we did new worship, and although the attendance was low, I thought it was one of the best [...]
too much happening…

So I am kind of on a break from blogging – just too much going on right now. I haven’t felt much inspiration to write as my mind has been a jumble of thoughts on a million other things. Random thought ahead:
* I’m praying for 1000 people to show up for Summer Slam. Specifically 1000.
*Summer [...]
