I Do Social Media

This is social media week.  You're gonna love this.  Thanks to Ed Stetzer for the link.

un-Social Media

This week I made a comment about getting un-plugged, followed by the "proverbial" [inside joke kids ;)] follow-up of how NOT so unplugged I live.  A friend last night said he gets phantom rings from his phone... me too... although at our age I'm not sure it isn't just gas.  This week Krohnus.tv posted on Innovation (I was going to link to his blog but IE gets an error... innovation fail...)  and the disparity between what we think of as innovative and what really is innovative.  Then today Scott Williamsthrows the video below up on his blog about social media.  Finally 100% of my shopping for Christmas this year has been done on-line.  ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT!  You can go to Amazon and see what I got you... if you can figure out which of the hundreds of thousands of things available with free second day shipping I have to choose from.  The world is moving at the speed of the internet.  In spite of all of this efficiency we still seem to be out of time to sit and drink a cup of coffee with a friend.  Even at times feeling like we are inconveniencing them to ask them to get off of the treadmill for a few minutes for some face time.  My friend has studied and understands the social media wave much better than I.  He has the opportunity to fly at a higher altitude with more freedom and thus sees into the cy-ber world horizon.  That's where we're going.  Church... don't stick you head in the sand.  Grab a board and ride the wave.  Maximize every pixel and character for spreading the good news of Jesus.  You live in un-precedented times... steward well.  DON'T BLINK!

Patriots vs Saints Monday Night Football

This is why I love Monday Night Football.  Captured this on the DVR then the FlipMinoHD tthen to Youtube then Typepad which will then roll it to Facebook... So much for being "unplugged".  What a hit!

Leading Worship

My buddy L.B. took a shot of me after the 5PM tonight.  It felt REALLY GOOD to lead worship...  DON'T BLINK.

What time is it?

My friend Tim Hunter made me aware of this random and meaningless fact so now I share it with you.  AT 5 MINUTES AND 6 SECONDS AFTER 4 A.M., ON THE 8TH OF  JULY, THIS YEAR, THE TIME AND DATE WILL BE: 04:05:06  07-08-09

Life

* Day FOUR... no meat, no cheese, not white or yeast breads....  I miss cheese.

* I'm praying for my friend who's trying to quit smoking... I have been watching her grow... she is full of potential and I believe God is preparing her for something BIG.  I hope she's praying for me to have the discipline to eat better and exercise A LOT!

* I'm anxious to hear from John Taylor on money management and what God has to say about it Sunday night.  You should be there. 6PM at TheBOD.tv

* "How important is trust for a leader? IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING." John Maxwell

*I'm going to do everything I can to get the right people to the table when we have important decisions to make at TheBOD.  We have some big decisions to make.

* TokBox is a new tool I hope to take advantage of in 2009.

* NIV mp3 on the iPOD.  Genesis in three days... hmmmm I think I like it.  Old Testament confuses me sometimes... all of the lying, deceit, sleeping around, and idolatry in Genesis.... Sounds like Roland...  God used them so I guess He can use us too...  :)

Javallelujah...

Maybe you have to be a church junky to find this funny... but this video cracks me up.  A good reminder of just how important it is to be real.  Gimmicks don't get it done.  People are looking for real people. 

How do you pray

Convicting? hmmmmm  If it weren't so true it would be hilarious.

Shark Attack

I apparently am not the only person who knows how to handle a shark attack.  My buddy Brian Mills, student pastor Houston, thought it wise to put together a "Shark Attack 101" video.  This is one of his interns in the video he used for his teaching time this week.  I only wish I had had this priceless instruction before my near death experience..... As a side note.. I really like fishing and have in the past avoided telling "fish stories".  I have a couple of uncles who are quite the "fish story" tellers and I must confess I really enjoyed it... Must be in the Dixon blood....
