Humility a must read every year…

HUMILITY
Every year for the past four years, I have read this book as a devotional. Many have called Andrew Murry’s book - Humility, the best work on humility ever written. To be honest, I wouldn’t know about that only because this is the only book on humility that I have read. Every time I read this book, I [...]

other books that have changed me…

“We live in a world no longer under heaven. At least in most people’s minds and imaginations that vision of reality has become little more than a caricature, conjuring up the saints and angels of baroque frescoes. And in the church only a hint remains of the power it once exercised in the hearts of [...]

books that have changed me…

 

I was unpacking some boxes from our move – yeah we still have unpacked boxes,(Well my wife was, I was just adding to the mess) and found some of my books. George Barna’s book “Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions” has been a book that has influenced me both personally and professionally. What’s funny is that I originally got this book [...]

2009 Outstanding School Volunteer Nomination

a must read book…

 

I’ve been thinking about the book To Own a Dragon by Donald Miller, recently. I don’t know why – maybe it’s because I’ve been thinking about my life growing up, or maybe I’ve been thinking about my relationship with my son… Either way, I felt I needed to blog about this book again (I blogged [...]

Our students, parents, and volunteers couldn’t get enough of the event… If your in Colorado, you need to bring your kids, parents, and volunteers to this event. Even if you can’t bring [...]

cmconnect.org

I recently joined a children’s ministry network called cmconnect. CMCONNECT.ORG hope is to create a renewed sense of community amongst those serving in Children’s Ministry. Since joining the network, I have felt just that – a sense of community, I recently connected with some old cm friends. I have found that there is tons of resources, [...]

food for thought…

Recently I read an article that Reggie Joiner wrote for CATALYST. I found the article motivating and challenging. Below is some food for thought from the article. 
Did you know…
* how you communicate Deuteronomy 6 can either paralyze or mobilize your families?
* your partnership with un-churched parents will radically affect the influence of your church?
* you [...]

Interesting social-networking demographic stats…

There’s a common misperception out there that all of the blogging, Twittering and Facebooking is being done by twenty and thirty-somethings. That, in fact, turns out not to be true. Baby Boomers (those born 1946-1964) are the fastest growing users of social networking sites and are also increasingly reading blogs too. Meanwhile, Gen Y interest [...]
