I haven’t been reading “It” for a while. I just picked it back up after about a two month long hiatus. To be perfectly honest, I put the book down because it rocked my world too much. I got overwhelmed at how much God was convicting me, so I just had to walk away. Needless to say, my world is once again being challanged, but I think I’m ready to take it on this time.

Today I was finishing the chapter on failure and I wanted to leave you some thoughts that I hope will challenge you as well.

- Failure is not an option… It’s a necessity.
- If you’re not failing, you’ve stopped dreaming. You’ll eventually stop learning. And you will stop growing. Those who have it fail often.
- Failure is often the tuition for sucess.
- Great leaders learn the art of failing forward.

Testing wordpress…

Made some big adjustments to the website. I’m liking it more, but it’s still not what I want it to be. I’m thinking of changing the background image first.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on the new layout.

Fanatic :: What do you worship?

I had one of the most awesome experiences at church Sunday. People worshiped the Lord. They really, truly, worshiped God. It was incredible, and it’s sad that we don’t have experiences like that every Sunday.

We started a new series this Sunday called “Fanatic” (borrowed from our friends up at LifeChurch.tv – we used the series design although our messages are unique). The entire concept of the series is, “What do you worship?” and I was fortunate enough to have the chance to put together the entire service for this past Sunday myself – I led worship AND gave the message. (Incidentally, if you’ve ever thought it was a lot of work putting together a solid message for Sunday, try adding a full worship set to your work load and see what you think.) The end result was that I was able to speak about something I have a deep personal passion for, and by all accounts God used it to really impact our church. Listen in and enjoy!
