Did you know…

Friday, March 30th, 2007

1. That all of our sermons are online…
Free…
For download or streaming or podcast (I’m not sure if I’m using these terms correctly… )
Just click here and I’ll be yelling at you before you know it.
2. That this Sunday’s service is going to be our most creative ever?
3. That I’m in Lynchburg, VA, with some of [...]

Follow That Bird

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

When my folks and I went to see this flick I was 5. I thought Big Bird was actually going to be there live. I was pretty dang disappointed. I really do remember it vividly.

I love the people in my inner circle right now.
I like them and trust them too.

Almost everybody did.
The ones who didn’t laugh in our face must have been laughing behind our backs.
And with good reason, mind you.
We were laughing too.
It was a dumb idea, and it shouldn’t have worked.
But it did work.
Last Easter, with a fledgling 2 month old congregation of about 200, we pulled off an [...]

Who we are…

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Due to my recent Technorati fame, some of the wizards of the blogosphere seem to imply that I’m the master of the publicity stunt.
Not so much.
But I am a man on a mission.
And since a few thousand new friends have stopped by over the last few days, we’d like to take the opportunity to introduce [...]
