Good Riddance Day
In: Other
29 Dec 20092009 was (and continues to be) an incredible year in my life. Between marriage, Greenhouse and much more, it would rank up there with years I will remember most fondly.
But today, Times Square in New York is preparing for 2010 by saying “Good riddance” to 2009. (H/T @heytherejoe) Shredders abound as people symbolically destroy the [...]
Ten Months in Review
29 Oct 2009November’s almost here, which means I have two months to complete my goals for 2009. This year, I made ten goals: Five for work, five for my personal life. Where I currently stand is very telling:
Work: five out of five in motion, three of which are fully completed
Personal: one out of five [...]

Guilt-Free Blogging
In: Other
11 Sep 2009During my time away, I noticed a few things…
I didn’t miss blogging.
I didn’t feel guilty for not blogging, the way I did before announcing a little mini-pause.
I have a history of cranking out several blog posts in a several days followed by weeks of inactivity.
So what do I do with that information?
Seems like a recipe [...]

21 Aug 2009We’re in a race to the finish line.
Which is sort of just the starting line.
And so the blog’s gonna be light on content over the next few weeks. Lots of finishing touches - sermons to polish, volunteers to firm up, spotlights to create, sharpies to buy.
This Sunday, we’re running a sort-of dress rehearsal that [...]
Gray on Black
In: Other
3 Jul 2009A special note for those of you on Internet Explorer. My blog looks pretty awful on Internet Explorer. Gray text on black backgrounds, headers are all jacked up, and it’s generally not a good viewing experience.
Sometime I’ll fix this, but I have a few solutions:
1 - Use a different browser. You’ll experience [...]

3 Jul 2009I broke my toe this morning.
How I wish this was some kind of metaphor.
Fell off my bike. Bruises, scrapes, a strained wrist, and a broken toe. Who knew a broken toe could hurt so much? Apparently there’s not much you can do about a broken toe. So I’ll be gimping around in [...]
Authenticity (or lack thereof)
In: Other
2 Jul 2009Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I was working on my first five sermons for Greenhouse. And they were really good. Smart, challenging, inspiring, creative. But this morning as I was reviewing the fruit of my insomnia, something was missing, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
And then, this afternoon, a [...]
I redesigned my workspace this week. This is where the magic happens, folks. That whiteboard still needs to be mounted, though it didn’t stop us from filling it up with ideas about worship music.
Here’s most of my desk, along with my mascot, DJ Life Support. Someday, when God’s face is shining upon [...]
Images & Words

22 Jun 2009Remember the group blogging project I announced awhile back? It’s well underway, and today I got to tackle chapter seven of Shane Hipp’s book, Flickering Pixels. There’s quite a bit happening in that chapter, and I only got to one of the three main points the author, so I might post the other [...]
