High School Reunion Class of 1998
So my class reunion is coming up soon.  It is awesome that that it is the weekend before a wedding in Virginia I am going to so I will be in town.  Couple of my closest friends are getting married September 20th.  The reunion is the weekend before.  When I got the invite there was a site we could go to and it had some pictures. Thought I would share one of me, as well as one I carry with me to show people for shock factor.  So enjoy a laugh at my expense.
Twitter – What's The Point
**UPDATE**Â Here is another example of Twitters Awesomeness!
I twitter. I love it. You would love it. Follow me on twitter here.
I get asked all the time, “What’s the point of twitter?” Here we go. 4 reasons
-  Friends/Family – Since I have recently moved across the country twitter is a great way for me to stay in touch with my friends and family from Virginia and my new friends here in Texas. Also every day twitter sends all my “twit’s” for the day to my blog. My family and friends can see what I have been up to.
- Archiving my life – I have 3 kids. I wish I had twitter when my first 2 were younger. I can twitter things my kids do and will be able to back and search to see what day they started walking, first time they flew, etc. Any milestones in their lives. Also I can know what day I went to that conference, special event, etc.
- Ministry Resource – I follow a lot of people on twitter. They each have different jobs but they give me ideas that I can use in ministry. See list below to start following some of my followers.
- Ministry Tool – A lot of people in my ministry use twitter. It’s just another way to connect to people if I can’t get a hold of them.

Thriller dance in student ministry
We did a series called “Talking Donkeys” in Truth Student Ministries.  It was all about hard to believe stories in the Bible.  We did Balaam’s Talking Donkey, The Floating Ax Head, and the story of Dry Bones.This is how we opened our service for the Dry Bones story.  I think it helped bring home the idea of bones rising up from the dead.  We used a mix between video and drama for this. Truth Student Ministries does Thriller from Tim Lemons on Vimeo.
Franciscan Prayer from Willow Leadership Summit
At the end of Craig’s Message he read this prayer and it was awesome! This is only part of it, I found it here.
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
