Random Thoughts

There is absolutely no ryhme or reason to the words that follow. These are just some completely random thoughts that are running through my mind today.

  • We had a great morning at church yesterday. A big attendance with a ton of new faces. A baptism to end the service. There was a great spirit of excitement among our people. Good stuff.
  • Our church website is rolling toward completion. It's taken longer than we anticipated, but it's going to be worth the wait. A big thanks to Josh Young for all his hard work on the site.
  • When are they ever going to finish with all the road construction around here? (I warned you that these are completely random thoughts!)
  • I don't feel worthy to preach the Word of God. Not even a little bit. I don't understand how God can use somebody like me.
  • Recently there was a PETA-type organization that stated that we should no longer refer to our dogs as "dogs." We should, instead, refer to them as "Canine Americans." Have we totally lost our minds?
  • God has blessed me with the most incredible family in the world. My wife and my little boy are more important to me than anyone could ever imagine.
  • Yesterday, Ryan (my two-year-old) counted to ten in Spanish! Thank you Dora the Explorer.
  • I think it is so cool that our church offers opportunities to worship in a highly contemporary setting (APEX) and in a more traditional setting (Chapel Service).
  • The Bengals are awesome.
  • The Reds stink.
  • I wish they would build a Starbucks in Amelia.
  • God has not promised that life will be free from difficulties. However, he has promised to never leave us…and that's the best thought of all.

    This may be the best blog I've ever read.

    Rollin', Rollin', Rollin',
    Keep that website rollin'
    WEB-SIIIITE!

    That may be the geekiest thing I've written in months.

    It's been a long, hard process getting this website to the point it is, but I want to thank you IMMENSELY for putting so much work and thought into it with me and being willing to do things and explore ideas because you think they will reach people – not because they're your favorite things. :-)

    You and Brian have been excellent examples of how this should work. I really appreciate how easy the whole communications process has been. Our church is very blessed to have two ministers who communicate openly AND listen to suggestions AND to try new things even if you're not used to them (and even when we have scares like RallyPoint).

    You rock.

    Thanks "anonymous!" There's a ton of blogs out there, so I'm humbled by your comment. Stop in again soon.

    And Josh…what can I say? You're my geek hero!

    Yeah…the Reds stink. Perfectly placed for the wildcard before that dreadful west coast trip. Such heartbreak, the bright side…they had a much better season than anyone anticipated. I will confess, I am a Colts fan over a Bengels fan. It didn't use to matter because both teams were lousey. Now they could be competing for the AFC title. So long as it is not New England or Pittsburg.

    I am a Bengals fan first, but I'm a Colts fan second. If, for whatever reason, the Bengals falter this season, I'll be there pulling for Indy. We have a lot of Steelers fans at church, so this Sunday should be quite interesting as the Bengals and Steelers hook up. Who Dey!
