PDYM Community – a new blog I'm excited about!

PDYM Community has a new blog format for the site. This blog has been up for about a month now. I’m really excited about it and I subscribe to it through bloglines.

Yesterday Deborah posted her first blog. Check out the whole blog here.

I want students to see husbands, wives, families not only in the same space but actually liking one another. I want to build a ministry where it’s actually ok to like your mom or your dad. I know that’s not how most students think and I realize it will take time, but we have to start somewhere. Why not with them? I asked 8 sets of parents and all 8 said yes! Sometimes you just have to ask…

It's Been Awhile

Wow, I haven’t blogged in a while.  It’s kind of a shame because I have had a lot of blog-worthy events going on.

  • Top of the list – I got to baptize my daughter.  That definitely ranks up there with one of the best days of my life.  It was an unforgettable experience.  It’s pretty awesome to baptize anyone and I’ve had that opportunity a few times, but this was the best.  I also baptized my two cousins Autumn & Eli on the same day.
  • My grandmother had a very bad accident.  I am still praising God because she walked away without a scratch.  She called me while in the car after the accident telling me she had a wreck.  I didn’t think it was that bad, but when I pulled up to the scene there were 3 Counties and 2 ambulances.  That kind of freaked me out.  I walked down into the ditch and first thing she did was hand me the check she was delivering to me.  She was on her way to see me @ the church office.  I knew then she was ok. 🙂  They put her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital for x-rays.  Everything came back ok and they sent her home.  She is still sore today, but doing great!
  • Today is my last day before I take a week of vacation!  WHOOO-HOOOO!
  • Had Lost night last night, never noticed before – but in the episode “Adrift” of season 2 the shark in the water has a Dharma logo near it’s tail.
  • Halo 3 is AWESOME!
  • Bought Madden 08 with my birthday money from my Grandparents in Florida.  It is awesome.  Currently I’m doing the superstar mode because I don’t have much time to play and that way I get to play only when my player is on the field.

I know I’m missing something I wanted to blog about, but oh well. That’s what happens when you don’t do it everyday.

YouVersion

Just got my Private Beta invite to YouVersion.  Getting ready to check it out!  I’ll let you know what I think.  Stay tuned…

Google Highlands Fellowship

My site comes up when you google Highlands Fellowship.  How awesome.  Check out this page too where some people were bashing Highlands.  I told Tracie about it and I guess she told Jimmie and he went on there and made some comments.

You Version

I’m excited. I just read that the beta release of You Version is a week away.  I was hoping to get in under the alpha release, but it didn’t happen.  Anyways check out the blog to see what all you can do with youversion.  I can’t wait.

Top Ten Sayings

Got these top ten sayings from Mark’s Site. I love em.

#9 Stop living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death

#8 The church ought to be the most creative place on the planet

#7 The healthiest, happiest and holiest people on the planet are the people who laugh at themselves the most

#1 Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God

A few honorable mention:

#11 Your best thought about God on your best day falls 13.2 billion light-years short of how great and how good God really is!

#15 Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention

Old Friend, New Blogger

Greg Coe is a very close friend of mine.  That’s a way huge understatement.  Let me describe him like this…

  • He was my RA leader at my previous church when I was young (5 or 6)
  • He always liked me because the first time I met him he asked me what I wanted to be and I said a rock star
  • He never turned his back on me when I was busted, even though others did (debateable)
  • Gave me guitar lessons
  • Set my wife and I up on a blind date (obviously a success)
  • Best man at wedding
  • Godfather to my kids
  • Was a key influencer in getting me a job @ Highlands (other than God and Ev of course)

So it is with great pleasure I introduce you to his blog!  Check out his first post! He’s off to a great start.  Love this line.

ok pretty deep stuff for the first time out of the box, but life is made up of things such as this…
