So once again...

I had it set in my mind that I was going to blog daily....

and then once again instead of taking the 5-10 minutes i've just forgot about it..

But thats what happens when life gets really busy...

So once again I hope and will try to take care of my blogging duties and blog more than once a month.

Side note:  Since i read all the time for class...I have decided to use my drive time between school and work and erands to listen to audio books I've downloaded on itunes so I can finally read several books that have been on my to read list for a while.

So I am now listening to Chapter 5 of Crazy Love by Francis Chan



and also Chapter 2 of The Shack by: William P. Young



Both books are really amazing and really pushing me spiritually.

Early Birthday

Next month is my 30th birthday.....

We have a timeshare on Disney property so for my birthday we are going with my parents down to Orlando.   The big plans for the trip will be Braves spring training.   Spring training is something that I have always wanted to go to...and so we get to go for a couple days while also enjoying Disney and Universal.



So last night Jessica decided that I could go ahead and get my birthday present since it is a hard item to find in stock.  She got me a Nintendo Wii.  It was actually the last one in Charlotte.  And today in return I got her a Wii Fit for an early Valentines present.  Which I found after calling 15 stores...and it was the only in Charlotte!



Now it won't replace my Xbox 360, but so far it is a great way to get off the couch and have fun.

Now if we can only find Mario Kart in stock!

Taking a step back in Ministry...learning from the past

The past couple weeks I have been reading Mark Oestreicher new book Youth Ministry 3.0.



It has helped me to take a ministry evaluation of my Sunday nights.   It has been a good but tough eye opening experience!

During the next couple weeks, I'm working on changing some things on Sunday nights and I will also be giving my take on MarkO's book.
