No that isn’t the new amount of money we need to raise for the building! One of the guys I’ve discovered, and thoroughly enjoyed on Twitter is Michael Hyatt.  He is the CEO of Thomas Nelson, & every day he has helpful stuff on his site.  Well, one of the sites he mentions on his [...]

If you haven’t been up to the new building in a few weeks, you’ll likely be pretty amazed to see how things have progressed lately.  The duct work that is already installed is impressive in it’s own right. Currently, the landlord’s contractors are installing the plumbing for the bathrooms & kitchen as well as the [...]

It amazes me how quickly my “free” time fills up.  This week was supposed to have lots of time for me to catch up on a few projects and even get a head start on a few others…but free time has a habit of evaporating…Did you know Monday was a holiday?  I had a great [...]

At the Vineyard’s National Leadership Conference last week, the theme was, heroic leadership in a time of change.  One of the speakers used the video below to illustrate just how quickly things are changing. Definitely worth a view.

Yesterday afternoon from about 11:30 am to 6:00 pm, over 1000 people from the Vineyard leadership conference headed into a neighborhood in Galveston and participated in the Renew Galveston Festival. The festival provided food for the poor who were impacted by hurricane Ike, as well as free hair cuts, and fun events for kids. While [...]

The speaker this morning was Cherith Fee Nordling.  (Cherith is the daughter of Gordon Fee). She did a great job calling us to give our lives wholly to God. Below are a few of the quotes that really stuck out to me: ____________ Q; What impact does the coming kingdom have on the children of [...]

Like most people I know, I own one.  I am trying to wear it less however. When we got to the conference, we registered and got our materials, and one thing we got was a welcome letter telling us what to expect.  The last paragraph of the letter contained this sentence, “So relax, enjoy the [...]
