So my time management skills aren’t the best and my priorities are somewhat screwed up, so I am going to document my schedule this week. This may be boring to some of you but hey this is my blog.
I don’t do journaling beyond this very well, even though I am doing some as a part of the New Testament Challenge. So I am going to use this format to document my time this week and see how effective I am at aligning my priorities with my actions.
We learned in the NTC (The Challenge of Radical Love – audio here) that love is a choice that you make through the actions you take. So I want to figure out if I really am showing love in the areas that I know I should. If not I will need to evaluate and come up with a new strategy.
I have established some goals with my family and some parameters to work inside of as it relates to church. I want, and need, to make these work for my spiritual, physical, emotional and relational health. I’m not going to do that whole 6 minute or even 15 minute thing but I am going to document as much as possible (within reason) and commentate on a few.
For you future church planters this may give some insight into what you have to look forward to. For existing ones, or experienced ones, you may find that you are not alone or be able to offer insight on how to do it better.
So starting tomorrow I will be listing the time spent in different tasks. I will start the clock at 12:01am, Monday morning. I multi-task fairly well so at certain points you may find things happening at the same time.
So if this doesn’t intrigue you, just come back and visit this site after 09.22.08. Being that I have recently learned how to imbed YouTube videos I will never be short of content again.
I stole this clip of some “hip/hop” worship from my friend Carl. I wish that I knew the context of this and that there were some crowd shots but based on the applause they thought that it was “dope”.
I am about to call our band and offer them a 20% raise. They are absolutely worth it…
Somebody sent me this link with the youngest “preacher” in the world and I really am torn on how to take it. Check THIS out and come back….
Okay, so I have a preacher’s kid (PK if you will) who every Sunday about mic check time goes to the platform sits on his daddies stool and begins to deliver some 4 year old theology such as “God is bigger than all the monsters.” No jokes… that is deep if you begin to think about all the monsters we face in life.
But I am wondering if his daddy was a yeller who spit over the first three rows when he preached could this be my kid? I guess the answer is probably yes, and I would think that it is great and be proud just like when he teaches from my stool. But would I then take valuable service time to hand my son a microphone and see hom many amens he could get as peop,e pretend that they can understand him?
So I am unsure, but do you find this cute, disturbing, in bad taste, “raising them up in the way they should go”, or other?
I don’t get into a lot of politics on this blog but HERE is a link to a site with the You Tube clips of Rick Warren (Senior Pastor of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California) asking some great questions to Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. I had some people ask me about it this weekend and I said I would post this link. This happened in mid August just in case you missed it. Regardless of where you stand I think you will be able to agree that this is an amazing thing to have the two Presidential candidates in a church being interviewed by a Pastor is awesome.
