This is actually quite cool. But still frustrated that they are limiting my choices to only two. Kept waiting for them to say some think about Paul or Nader or Barr.

The Restaurant for the Sunday Nooma
If you don’t know what the Nooma series of videos are, then this won’t make any sense. If know about Nooma, but you’ve not seen the one entitled Sunday, then it might not make much sense. But in a nutshell, they’re videos to spur discussion and conversation about spiritual matters created by Rob Bell. They [...]

My Last Sunday
Today was my last Sunday morning here at the church. It wasn’t dramatic or anything, but just a realization that things are changing swiftly. Mitchell said some kind words thing morning during the service. It meant a lot. Tonight is the Youth Christmas Party. And it is my last Sunday night here too. I think [...]

To quote Bob Dylan, “Oh, the times….”
“Oh, the times…they are achangin”
Last night at the end of youth worship, I dropped the info: my family is feeling God call us to transition into a different ministry at a different church.
Yep. I’ll go into more detail soon, but at the first of the year we’ll be joining a new church plant in Oxford, [...]

And we’re back….
So…tonight is the last Junior High Dance. How fitting that the last time I posted it was about the dances. But tonight is the last one. Will I miss them, not really. Now don’t get me wrong, I will miss the gathering of the students and being able to hang around w/ them and all. [...]

So….I’m back….and about to leave.
After some time away for no real reason at all, I’m back. I took a little time away from blogs: writing my own or reading others. So either I have a lot of catching up to do, or just going to skip a lot I didn’t read….probably the latter.
But things have been booming lately. We [...]

Group Dynamix
So, years ago I’d helped with a lock-in close to Dallas. And we went to play Whirly Ball for a late night activity. When I was planning a Destination Unknown (DX) for my youth group a few summers ago I thought of Whirly Ball. But Jaybrams recommended Group Dynamix right there in Dallas instead. Having [...]

Destination Unknow :: Texas Style
Two years ago the youth ministry took a Destination Unknown trip to Dallas. We repeated the trip this past weekend. We scored some tickets to Six Flags over Texas and then went to have a lock-in at Group Dynamix. All in all it was a great time. Destination Unknown is a youh trip where the [...]

Changes in the Church
Well, last Sunday was Bob’s last Sunday. Now he’s headed to be a District Superintendent for the Starkville District. I guess if you gotta go somewhere, Starkville is a great place to go. So this Sunday will be an “off” day of sorts in the way of having a pastor, but then July 1st is [...]

BigStuf Camp and Student Life Camp
Matt Jackson asked me my thoughts on comparing Student Life summer camps and BigStuf summer camps.
I’ll start off by saying that I think that both are top notch organizations and you can’t really go wrong with either. I’ve carried groups a bunch of times to the Student Life Tour and never was disappointed. And one [...]

BigStuf07 Redux
Well, I’ve been back for 2 days now. And no posts. I’ve been catching up on life. We made it back Wednesday night and I went to be early for the first time in a week. Early being about 11. I was usually up to 1:30 or 3:00am at BigStuf…and wouldn’t trade it. But yesterday [...]

Less Than 12 Hours :: BigStuf
So I’m all packed. I think everything is in order. Tomorrow morning I’ll wake up to my cell phone and grab a shower while it’s still dark. I’ll drive to the church and get there in time to unlock and begin to set up a few tables in the gym. I won’t doubt it if [...]
