Changed Life – my story in 4 min . . .
This is my story in 4 min . . . When the worship design team from theVine asked me to share my store in 4 min. I was thinking, “there is no way it will fit.” Thanks to the amazing video work of Greg Hampton (worship art’s pastor) it fit and still comes across making sense and without losing the radical power of life change. Pastor David used this on Easter as a final sermon illustration to drive home the Risen Savior’s desire to be found . . . turn and see he has been there the whole time.
Here is a link to the sermon Pastor David preached yesterday . . . one of the best presentations I have ever heard of the empty tomb and His desire to be found.
Fault of Familiarity . . .
One of the reasons I love serving and worshiping at theVine is the creative ways we come up with to help those within the walls of the building understand the message of God’s word and challenge them to take their NEXT step. Here is a video that was produced in house and just really sums up one reason many people do not share their faith . . . call it the “Fault of Familiarity”
Just think how many people do struggle with this – “Fault of Familiarity” . . . having lost the AWE factor in their relationship with God and something like this video can help them remember they need to introduce their friends to the satisfying power of God through Jesus Christ.
Do you ever find yourself suffering with the “Fault of Familiarity”?
Dance Party (Christmas Style) . . .
I was putting together a Dance Party (Christmas Style) with the entire family in it . . . well, Weatherly caught me and decided we had to have Brad in it. She said, “dad – Brad can dance now, he got new legs in heaven and they work really well . . . put him in the dance party!” The joy of technology. So here is it: Nikki, Weatherly, Tennyson, Brad and myself.
So worth it . . .
Being without phone, computer, and all technology / connectology was so worth it and a God thing. I really didn’t have the shakes or miss it at all. The one thing I missed was the fact that I use my phone for a watch . . . but quickly got past that as we got further into vacation and time wasn’t really a factor. I didn’t realize how much I use my phone and computer until I told Weatherly I wasn’t taking my phone or computer and she responded something to the effect, “daddy, we get you all to ourselves!” Now, that will hit you where it hurts. Here are a couple of pictures to share with you – everything else is for us . . . unless you check out my wife’s blog (she says her joy is to share).
New Blog . . .
One of the things I really love about this blog is the ability to post from my phone. The post below I did today from my iPhone. There are some other things such as space and things like that, but let me know if you like the design so far and if me changing will cause you problems.
