Loops, Loops, Loops, I love Loops, here they go down, down into my belly…
Seriously. Loops are amazing. I am a closet techno fan. Remix anything for me, throw it in a blender and push play, I’m in heaven.
This post got me going again. The guys over at Elevation put this loop together based off of […]

Scott Slocum is one of the speakers here at the CMA District Conference in Riverside, CA. Here’s my notes from his talk this morning.
“Adapting and reformulating absolutely everything we do in worship, discipleship, community, and service, so as to be engaged with the non-Christian society around it.” - Tim Keller
Why does the Church today need […]

I got this article via email this morning. I used it as my personal devotion time. It springs from Jeremiah 9:23-24. I’m not sure if I’m breaking some kind of copyright infringement laws or what not, but I thought this was powerful stuff and worthy of your time, especially if you are a preaching/teaching pastor. […]

This was a busy weekend for me. Jen was out of town so I had both kiddos, which makes being at church for 10-12 hours on a weekend interesting. Luckily I had some help this weekend with family hanging out with them - nice!
Last weekend I led worship with a killer acoustic band. 6 strings, […]

Thanks to Los now I know where to check my Twitter stats. Very cool.

What do your stats look like?

I’ve had quite a few people ask me questions about blogging lately, which excites me - I think everyone should blog. One of the big questions is, “How do you host your own blog, you know so you can do cool things with it?”. And that is a very good question. I though I’d just […]

Last night we rented “In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale“. I should have trusted my instincts which always tell me to never rent a movie with the word “Dungeon” in it. But it had that dude from Transporter in it and he kicks butt, so it can’t be that bad right? […]

Spam - not the stuff that Hawaiians eat, the stuff that clutters up your inbox and steals your valuable time. It’s a fact of life now. To my surprise, many people I talk to still deal with a lot of it on a daily basis, a LOT of it.
This is a solution that has helped […]

We went to the Murrieta Prayer Breakfast - our church had a table, you can see us there on the right hand side. This has kind of been a tradition for the past 10 years or so. Many local churches along with business men & women, fire fighters, police, etc. all come and eat breakfast, […]

This weekend if you come to LifeChurch and grab yo-self a bulletin, you can take it to Chipotle for a free lunch. It’s this weekend only and it’s only from 2-5pm at the Chipotle in Temecula. Come get you some!

LifeChurch.tv has an amazing series that we are kicking off this weekend called “What’s The Difference“. As I was perusing open.lifechurch.tv I noticed that the graphics package was not available (PSD/AI files). So I hit up Terry Storch to see if he could help and apparently they had some data loss at some time and […]

Seems like each week I find a new blog to follow - one such blog is Pete Wilson’s. I found his blog a couple months ago and have become a big fan. He’s the pastor of Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. They are going through a series called “Plan B”, and there’s an amazing […]

The world hunger crisis is all over the news this week. In just three years, the price of staple foods like wheat, corn and rice has almost doubled. If we don’t do something soon, hundreds of thousands of people face starvation and a hundred million more could fall into extreme poverty.
I just took action with […]

Here’s a random video for you

I don’t know what I like more, the Guinness shirt, bagpipes, or Darth mask, or the fact that it’s all together… amazing.
And for you creative people you’ll want to watch these incredible videos:
Christmas Production - from Pace Heartfield
which I originally found from Motionhouse’s blog where interestingly enough there’s another […]

I get bogged down a lot. I read your blogs & learn what’s happening in your church/ministry/life. I learn a lot. I feel connected. I feel “with the times”. Then I remember that I am only tapping a very, very, very small portion of information on what is happening globally or even nationally.
So this morning […]

So we woke up this morning and Jen happened to feel inside Macy’s cast, lo and behold…

Friday we went to one of our favorite places in the world: the WAP (Wild Animal Park to all you laymen). Ever since we had Miles, we’ve had annual passes and we love going there because (a) it’s close (b) it’s inexpensive, and (c) it’s so much fun for this kids. Thanks to a generous […]

Here’s my best one so far:

Have you seen the new five dollar bill? I got my first one the other day (which isn’t saying much, cuz I don’t handle much cash).
I found this cool interactive page where you can learn more about it.
Here’s a little video Uncle Sam put together on it.
And of course wikipedia has the easiest to read […]

My buddy Chris is on deployment somewhere in the world. He can’t tell you where, but it’s far, far away. That’s him directing a giant truck off of a LCAC (hovercraft to us laymen). This reminds me of my GIJoe days…
I’m stoked because in about a month I fly out to Hawaii and do the […]

Yeah that was for shock value.
So, I’m the big bad ‘executive pastor’ here at LifeChurch; still trying to figure out what that means. But right now we’re working hard on our Youth Ministry.
[sidenote: any of you youth guys - I’d love to know what’s working / what’s not right now for you]
Anywho - our Student […]

Part 1: Graphics
Here is a graphic I created for our Youth Sunday, for teaching and announcements:

It’s not too amazing, but it looked better than nothing - gave it some personality.
Our Junior High Pastor did a little game using text messaging abbreviations, so I created another graphic:

This was better than just text on the screen. Obviously […]

On March 22, 2008, your vehicle was used knowingly and with reckless disregard of the fact that 23 aliens had entered the United States in violation of the law, to transport these 23 aliens in furtherance of such violation.
That’s what the certified mail letter that we got from the US Border Patrol started with! Our […]
