This came to my email today. I’m sure most of you don’t get this so I’ll share. This is cool what God does to stir things up. GO GOD!

A few updates, a few plans on the books, a few thoughts.
Got a call Saturday from mom telling me that my brother cut his finger off. COOL, huh? Yeah, except that it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. I’m sure Jon would disagree but he only cut off the tip. He was cooking, trying to relax from some hard work and that ended up being more dangerous. Ha. Kinda funny story but I know it sucked. AND he’s a great guitar player, this is his left index finger. So yeah, kinda slows him down a little. Sorry dude, hope [...] Continue Reading…

In this adventure to launch a community to change a city, I’ve learned that no matter how strategic I think I am, God is infinitely smarter and has far better plans for my life.

This is a confidence I have. Some have said it’s [...] Continue Reading…

Spend the money, do it right. Pay an outsider to design for you if you don’t have someone who can do [...] Continue Reading…

Last week during our core team meeting I finally gave the “got to do” and told our team they really have to read the Strengths Finder (see the book on the right). Got all the test results in, read through the definitions, and discussed. I LOVE THIS SUBJECT!! My main passion is seeing people grow, become someone they didn’t think they could be, and leave a lasting impact. I told Kaysey, one of the team, yesterday that I hope to die knowing that the people I’ve interacted with most are smarter than I am.
If you haven’t read it and [...] Continue Reading…
