How Rich Are You?

This is a site a came across a while ago and possibly even posted about, but it's a good reminder.

If you're like me, you've probably spent an absurd amount of time wishing you had more money to buy more stuff...never content with what you already have...salivating as you think of your next "purchase"...that next "thing" that supposedly will make your life more complete...

Yes. I confess. I've been there...and probably will again.

But, the truth is...I AM blessed. I have ALL I need in Christ. He ALONE completes me and quenches my thirst. He ALWAYS provides. This world has NOTHING for me...except a grave.

My Prayer: Proverbs 30:7-9

Tilt Shift Photos

These are just a few of my first attempts at applying the "tilt shift" effect to old pics. Try it out here. I love the "Mr Rogers Neighborhood" feel you can create. Use it right and it miniaturizes life!

Sunday Night Thoughts and...Tilt-Shift Action

I love Sunday nights. Especially tonight. I'm just hanging out with my amazing wife, who is currently serenading me on her guitar and "playing for kisses." That's a currency I'll never run out of!

Also, I'm just plain STOKED about the season of life God has us in right now. One of the biggest blessings of our life is our church, Seacoast. We don't just work at Seacoast or attend there on Sundays...WE BELONG to the family there!

Mentors, spiritual shepherds, and true God-centered community has permeated our life and ministry here. I don't know how I survived life a few years back when 'going' to church was just that...going. I didn't have a clue what it meant to 'BE' a part of Christ's Body at a local church!

I was merely a "Sunday Night Spectator"...And I wondered why I felt alone.

I was isolated.


Well, all that to say...Praise Jesus for the Church!

On a totally different topic, I'm obsessed with tilt shift photography! I couldn't stop thinking about it all week! I'll have to post some pics soon!

"Old Time Religion"

I'd consider myself one of those "church kids". You know...the, "I've heard it all before! I know all this!", kinda guy???
But I've also realized there's a difference between knowing about God, and actually KNOWING God. At church, it's easy to get caught up in the motions of DOING without even KNOWING why we DO what we DO. There's seems to be a lot of "traditions" that are apart of a church service that are not understood, therefore are not practiced or appreciated.

This series is all about answering that question: Why do we DO what we DO at church and what does it all mean?

Starts Feb.1!!!

Be There!

Free Bible App for iPhone and BlackBerry

Here's a sweet Bible app for your BlackBerry or iPhone. It's awesome! It looks great with it's super smooth interface and the options it gives you are REALLY cool! Gotta love what the brains of the dudes at You Version and LifeChurch.tv are doing to help nerds for Jesus, like myself!

Porpoise Driven Life

The new Christian fad sweeping the nation!

Wal-Mart Worker Killed

Stories like this make me angry! When someone DIES because Wrangler jeans are on sale for $8...yes, I get angry. What gets me is the part about how people, after learning that a man had been trampled to death, KEPT SHOPPING!!!

But this story is just another example of how destructive an obsession over the material things of this world can be.

Just another day at work...
