Art, or as we call him, “Frenchy” has one hooked up Mexican restaurant. He was featured in the Miami Herald by Sue Mullin. Let me give you the real scoop though. Try the #30- the Salsa Verde Fajita Steak Burrito or the Salsa Verde Seafood Enchilada. If your wife likes dessert [...]
Scott Aughton shares the truth about Marketing your church. Thank you, CMS.
The conference has been good with the exception that there was no childcare. After wrestling with the girls through last night’s service, I finally took Kourtney over to the Coffee Bar and let her run amuck where no one could see her. I’ll go to the service tonight and leave first thing in [...]
I’m on my way to Tampa for a conference. I’m looking forward to meeting with some people I really admire. On Tuesday, I will receive my ordination. Tuesday night late, I will meet with a group of pastors that I have gotten to know from a discussion forum over the past 7 [...]
This weekend was very enjoyable, busy, exhausting, and involved. Quick recap:
Miami Heat Parade with the Molinas
fishing with Doug, Mike, Shaun, Michelle, Casey, and Phillip
church
newcomers’ lunch at Joe and Mayra’s.
Bowling with a new connecting group
As I sat in the newcomers’ lunch packed with some really great people, we all got to share a bit. [...]
Today, I hung out with my brother, Mike, Doug, Michelle, Shaun, and Casey. We hooked up with a couple schools of Dolphin and got what we could while we could. Then, a few of us got a little sick thanks to Doug’s powerful story telling. I loved his opening rendetion [...]
Very Hot. We took our girls and went with Manny, Lisette, and their crew. It was worth every blazing second.
We are still three Sundays out from “Origins,” our July message series. But, I thought I’d go ahead and get this up at least on my blog. We are coming off of an almost cartoonish series in iGod (which has been awesome) and will be going into a weighty, deep subject. Let [...]
OK, I got an invite for eBible some time back and fouled it up. I just got in….finally and have three invites for the first three responders as long as you too will pass them along. So, leave a comment with your email address and I’ll send you a golden ticket! Oh, [...]
I’m halfway through “A Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink. I didn’t think I was going to make after the 1st two chapters. The lessons on the industrial and information ages were just a little too drawn out. It is a bit more enjoyable as I breach the halfway point. I [...]
Site Meter provides a way for me to track the number of visits I get on my blog. Last month, I had about 5,200 page views…a modest number of page views. Some blogs have those records as public info. I started to make that info public on a couple occasions but decided [...]

There’s nothing like the sound of 15 guys cheering in an arena of 25,000!
Just an FYI- don’t be an rude on my blog, please. For a more detailed explanation of what that means check out Tally Wilgis’ instructions on Blog Maturity 101. He does a good job of breaking it down for you. Here are his points without the explanations:
1. Each blog you visit [...]
Miami Heat Dwyane Wade Pat Riley Shaq
Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban Dirk Nowitski
Mark Cuban. Hey the guy’s a brilliant business man. Mark, if you happen to stumble on my blog via Technorati, you have to know you’d be welcome to hang with me anyday. Actually, it would be my privilege. You are a cool cat, slightly over the top, and definitely out of the [...]
Or so it would seem according to Mark Cuban’s explanation of the Mavericks’ inability to win in Miami. Its going to be a tough finale. Dallas is a great team. It was enjoyable to watch them melt down after Game 5 though.
I don’t think I’ve been more entertained since the 1998 Knicks [...]
be meaningful
be full of people that you love and love you
be challenging and engaging
be a center for healing and renewal
make Jesus Christ the main attraction
be simultaneously organized and messy
have some serious flavor
change the unchangeable
Apparently, the Episcopal Church has decided they know better than the Scriptures.
This is an old entry on another blog. But, its well worth the read, especially if you’ve had some negative church experiences and are just wondering why the heck you even DO church in the first place…a nice little book review from CMS.
Could Wade have shot more balls off the glass? Unbelieveable game! Lets get the next one in Dallas!
High Point - after service a very bright young guy (11 yrs) came to me and said he wanted Jesus in his heart. So, right there between the stainless steel trash can and pier 3, this young man put his head on my shoulder, wept, and invited Jesus Christ into his heart. What [...]
Buy stock in “vision passionate people.” Sell stock in “vision critical people.” The right people with the right passion for the vision will cause you to reap significant Great Commission gains.
I don’t get to go to movies like I used to. So, since I saw this on DVD, this is a little late coming.
End of the Spear told a story that I first read in the 7th grade. It was meaningful then. In the real story and in the film, Nate [...]
Mark, great words.
I have never been more proud of our team than I am right now. They work hard and love to play. The level of dedication is high and they are reproducing leaders and bringing in new people (98 new families and individuals since Easter). It was great to disengage from [...]
I’ll be out all day for the C3 conference. So, be cool.
I had a great time tonight at my birthday party. I hit 33 yesterday. I spent the evening with some really great people at my house. They put me in the middle of the room and said some really great things. I kept waiting for the zingers…none came. That’s a [...]
With 8:33 seconds left in the 2nd quarter of the Miami game, I just want to go on record that the refs are just ridiculous! O’Neal just got called for a foul and he was a foot away from the shooter. These guys are blind.
CONCLUSION: Wade is a big stud!Miami 98 Dallas 96 [...]
