Well, I promised that I’d start giving my review of the Shack here. So here goes, but first I’d like to tell you all about a great new Study Bible that you should check out - here’s the details:

The Mark Driscoll R-Rated Study Bible for Dudes. Freak out your reformed Baptist friends with Mark Driscoll’s [...]

I finished ‘The Shack‘, it only took me a couple weeks - not bad considering. It was a recommendation from a buddy of mine, Bryan Johnston of Tides Church - thanks Bryan! If you could get alone for about 6 hours you could probably knock it out, which I highly recommend. I’m still kind of [...]

I came aboard the USS Germantown yesterday and spent the day following Chris all over this monster of a ship. I think I was the stairmaster yesterday. Slept like a rock in a coffin of a space - personally, I loved it. Took a famous 1 minute Navy [...]

I don’t think this is plagiarism - these are all quotes from Andy Stanley’s book that are forming me as a leader right now. Seriously, if you have time to read one book and you are involved in leadership (or want to be) this is one book that you should read - it is blowing [...]

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? [...]

This is a solution that has helped [...]

This is a little old, but about 2 weeks ago my Treo 700 took a major dump. The bummer was that it was Sunday afternoon so I spent the evening & next morning “unplugged”, which is weird for me. So on Monday I took it into the local Sprint store to see what they could [...]

Strange. That’s the word to wrap up this past weekend, for me, at LifeChurch. I heard a lot of compliments, and there was a great vibe, but for me - watching from different angles, this weekend was strange.
First of all, it was our first weekend of Grand Opening, so we were expecting a lot of [...]

Thanks Eric for reminding me about this gang. I’m thinking of taking some of our staff through these books. I’m just wondering if anyone out there has (a) read the book, and or (b) taken other staff members through them?
Let me know what you thought.
PS - here are a couple reviews of Deadly Viper I [...]

Tonight we went out on the town! Used a free babysitting pass and gift certificate for Ravioli’s. An evening alone with my wife and great food - it doesn’t get much better than that. I have to give Ravioli’s a big shout out - amazing little place on Main Street in Lake Elsinore. If you [...]
