Have you ever seen a flannel-graph Jesus with a whip-when he got angry right in the middle of church? We like to think of Jesus as being like Mr. Rogers. The problem is, no one would crucify Mr. Rogers - The Jesus of Suburbia by Mike Erre
The Church is the bride of Christ. Quit sleeping around and pimping her out to satisfy your own personal preferences. - Pastor Steven Furtick
"But sometimes the most encouraging thing you can do is tell it like it is. To rock someone’s world with the truth, for the glory of God." - Pastor Steven Furtick
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Pastor Scott Hodge.
It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great. - "Breakout Churches" - Thom S. Rainer
If we choose to ignore the culture around us, we aren't following in the footsteps of Jesus. We're only digging our own grave and burying ourselves alive. - Mark Batterson
"The right players are vital. Without the right leaders, the church will never be aligned. People follow leadership, and if leadership is not moving in the same direction then people are scattered. Leaders are responsible to establish and reinforce the culture of the church. Consequently, if the leaders are not aligneds, the church will not enjoy unity." - Simple Church by Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger
“Followers want comfort. stability, and solutions from their leaders, but that’s babysitting. Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting stress.” - “The Work of Leadership,”

Oops, that would be a monday and tuesday. Ouch mate. I've been there 100 times believe me, and we're talking tv ads here! It's not good. Getting price graphics wrong is the worst, especially if you advertise something cheaper than it's meant to be... there goes a lot of profit out the window. Next week you'll be over it, but it's never good at the time. Hope you're feeling better about it sooner rather than later.
Haha that's only because I saw your MySpace staus, so I decided to send that comment on here. But hey, mixing it up is fun! Yeah I heard Prince Caspian had been changed a bit from the book, but sounds like they had to just to make it work. I haven't read any of the books, so I'll probably enjoy it too. Are you loving Matt's new album? Some of the songs give me that feeling inside that's hard to explain, that's how much I love some of the songs. They are what makes Matt one of my faves. I reckon I'll be listening to this for years. 'All I Really Want' is my favourite, dunno why. Unlearning I honestly didn't get into as much, but this one I really really love. Hope you are having an ok week, considering everything that goes on in life huh! Take good care of yourself. :)
Hey mate, how was Hulk? I should go to the movies, I still haven't seen Prince Caspian, and I'm hanging out bigtime for The Dark Knight... can't wait! Take it easy. :)
Wow- so I am terrible with keeping up on technological communications just like any other form! What night is good for you next week? Jerm said he's busy tons so you can come over whenever and we can make dinner. Let me know your rate.. also maybe you can convince Julie to come! I want to see her really bad! My email is cherith.simon@gmail.com if you think email is easier.. I am so stoked to get my Mac up and running and I want to be a pro user- and be cool with that. ha.
haha I have not life.. I am a house wife on maternity leave.. I have all the time in the world. Throw a date out there and any time should be good as long as the date is.
Hey Chris my mac is having serious issues with connecting the my airport wireless and now is funky and won't connect to the internet via hardwire. Maybe your and Jermook could come over and I could grill up a storm?
You're not a jerk! I'm on facebook too, I'll find and add you. I sometimes find facebook is a bit too time consuming with the amount of stuff you can do with it, but I don't mind it.
I totally understand how you must be feeling about the church situation. I left mine after 21 years, and it was surrounded by so much negativity. We really should chat sometime, there's heaps I could share about the whole thing. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers mate, for sure.
I've been going through some more personal stresses lately, hasn't been good, but we'll get there.
I'm so excited about Matt's new album, it's gonna be awesome. Have you heard some of the new tracks on his myspace page? I can't go a day without listening to them.
Anyway take care buddy, hope to talk sometime soon.
