I got an e-mail message from Kyra Hammett that The Nate Show (which I don’t watch on principle ) today was highlighting upcycled art. What is upcycled art you ask? Good question! Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value. [...]

Greg either napping or illustrating the finer point of planking in my office. OK…that title might sound too much like an eulogy piece. Fortunately, Greg has not died *breathe a sigh of relief.* UNFORTUNATELY (for us), Greg and his family are moving to Kansas City, MO to become the Next Steps Pastor for the Pleasant [...]
Communitas – is an intense community spirit, the feeling of solidarity and togetherness achieved by sharing in a common experience. What are Communitas Groups? Go HERE and listen to the last two podcasts (if time is limited…pick the second part of the two). In it, I describe the vision and philosophy of our small groups ministry [...]

I haven’t blogged about the Biggest Loser in a long time. I’ve been a loyal fan for quite sometime. And even though I have fleeting moments of temptation to drop the show, I keep coming back. I’m not really even sure why. I’m sure a psychiatrist could work with me to uncover some of the [...]
Posting has been a little sporadic lately. I’ve been out of town at a few conferences. Last Tuesday I left for Dallas, TX to attend Fellowship Church’s C3 Conference. Because of generous friends, the entire conference is paid for. I have been (I think) for the past eight years. I don’t meet many people who [...]
I just finished watching the first four seasons of the show Breaking Bad. It could be one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME! It is an excellent story about a mild-mannered chemistry teacher who ends up being a Meth cook to finance treatment he needs for cancer. The show does an excellent job of [...]
I’ve attended the C3 Conference every year for probably the past eight years. Generous friends who live in Texas invest in me every year by paying for the conference fee, getting me a plane ticket, and providing housing. And every year, for the last eight years or so I have flown down on the Wednesday [...]
[This post is in a series of posting about marriage and weddings. You can find the first five posts here, here, here, here, here, and here.] Husbands – there will probably be some point in your marriage when your wife will tell you, or hint, that she really doesn’t want anything for Valentine’s Day. Maybe it is because things are financially tight. [...]
Dear Living Stoners – Just a reminder that tomorrow morning, Saturday, February 11th @ 10:30 am we are going to have a carnation giveaway. We are blitzing area businesses (that means we go in and we go out…very little time…almost like a “love ninja” *Barry White voice* ). Here is the plan, after fluffing the [...]
Communitas Message Series
Posted: February 10, 2012 in Church, Discipleship, faith, Leadership, Living Stones Church, Preaching, visionRead any book on “healthy churches” and there will be a chapter on the importance of small groups. I feel like I’ve read every one of them. And when I hear “small groups”, this is what I hear – “blah blah blah blah.” This is my pastoral confession. I believe that every Pastor knows they [...]
