I just got back from a Host Team Director off site meeting at Amicalola falls. After hearing everyones story I had a flash back to Sesame Street when they’d sing this song.

I was sitting with 4 other guys who had amazing experience and wisdom and then there was me. Our guest speaker was Horace Schultze’s consultant who helped make the Ritz Carlton what it is. One guy helped start Disney World the theme park in Florida and ran it, the whole park, for around 15 years. One guy was involved in starting the microderm abrasion products that were bought out by Nutrigena, and the other guy was a player in the merge that started Verizon, can you hear me now? It was pretty crazy to think about the life experience that was in that room. These guys have been working longer than I’ve been alive.

So looking forward to my first experience with Drive.  There is a lot of preparation going into next week.  Its crazy.  By the end of today my personal preparation for drive will have involved a mini sledge hammer, Remote control cars, an inflatable costume and singing.  How about that to peak your curiosity.  This is going to be fun next week.  Hope to see you.  If you are coming let me know.

Ever feel like you need this on your forehead?

Just curious.

So, I was looking back through iPhoto for a pic for my new Twitter account, finally decided to give it a try, and I found this photo.  Jen and I are cracking up, it has to be one of our funniest pics.  You add the caption.

I am completely in love with my wife and I think she is awesome and I love spending time with her. But, I think this is a little overboard.

Man, this scripture gets me every time. “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Matt 26:40 This has been a hectic week. I haven’t had much time to get any ‘work’ done because of meetings, set changes and preparing for our Venture out, which is a staff service project. I have resented being so busy this week on account of others. I know not very spiritual but it is the truth. Well, this morning I was reading in Matthew and came to this scripture and it stopped me in my tracks as I realized how unChrist-like my attitude was. We are going to help a children’s ministry that our church has a relationship with today and yes we are all really busy and yes it is costing us all a lot of work time, but this is what it is all about. Helping those who need help. What good is it if we create great services but never meet the physical needs that we see all around us? James 2:15 says “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” So here we go.

Well things are good. I’m enjoying School, especially my Evangelism 500 class. We are reading about past awakenings or revivals and it really interesting. It is encouraging to read about how God has moved in the past. It makes me hopeful for our future. My professor wrote a book we are reading called the 10 greatest revivals and he lists them and those involved in the following order:

1. The 1904 Revival, Beginning in Wales
Evan Roberts, Korea, Manchurian Revival, Azusa Street
2. The First Great Awakening, 1727-50
Zinzendorf, Wesley, Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards
3. The Second Great Awakening, 1780-1810
Cane Ridge
4. The General Awakening, 1830-40
Charles Finney, Hawaii, Jamaica
5. The Layman’s Prayer Revival, 1857-61
Phoebe Palmer, Lanphier, D. L. Moody
6. The World War 11 Revival, 1935-50
Billy Graham, Duncan Campbell, New Zealand
7. The Baby Boomer Revival, 1965-71
The Jesus People, The Prairie Revival, Asbury
8. The Pre-Reformation Revival, 1300-1500
Lollards, Wycliffe, Hus, Savonarola
9. The Protestant Reformation, 1517
Martin Luther, John Calvin, Zwingli, Knox
10. Pentecost: The Beginning of Revival, A.D. 30
Peter, Ephesus, Paul

If your bored research some of these its pretty cool.

I stumbled across this really funny Blog  It is complete politically incorrect but really funny.  If you enjoy laughing at satire go check it out but if you are easily offended probably not a good site for you.  Read down to the numbered posts.

So we had a treat today.  Someone worked it out so that we got to see a pre-release of the Ben Stein movie Expelled.   You really should see this movie when it comes out.  It was a very good  documentary and raised a lot of questions.  I knew  that  there are a lot of people who are hostile  towards the thought of Intelligent Design but I didn’t know what some people are going through because of it.  You need to watch this movie.
