New Things

I am always trying to find new ways to get faster at what I do. Efficiency is very important to me. It seems as though there are never enough hours in the day. (like no one else is feeling the same pressure). Over the past week I came across an awesome resource called Jott. It allows you to email, send text messages, update calendars, blogs, etc all through voice recognition. It was been amazing to work with. I am still finding new things everyday. Group text messaging is something I am working on. People are so mobile and it is often easier to text them then email to get a response. You should try it out. It’s well worth the look. Jott

Favorite Quotes

two inspiring quotes that are on my desk that I think are worth sharing.

Erwin McManus shared on a Catalyst Podcast an African Businessman in Tanzania told him:
We've been doing so much with so little for so long; we can now do anything with nothing.

Howard Hendricks said, If it is a mist in the pulpit, it is a fog in the pew.

These have been very inpiring to me. Just thought I would share. I hope they encourage and inspire you.

Something a little different

This summer we are going to try something a little different during our sunday night gathering for students. We are toying with the idea of doing several mission/service opportunities. This is very different then our typical sunday night environment that includes music, media, speaking, etc. Our hope is to help our students get out of the box. We live in a world where people want to serve but don't always now how. We are finishing up a series called, Where do I fit?. We are hoping that students will begin to understand how they take part in God's plan to redeem the world.
