This is how we keep cool on a hot summer day!

FYI: I’m not dead… yet. I’ve just not posted in a while.

My apologies. I’ve just been on the go and away from the computer.

No, really… I’m serious. Hiking, rafting, beekeeping and more!

I’ll tell you all about it… soon. I promise.

This is a pretty fascinating video. If you get past the ADD visuals of the presentation, the content is pretty profound. It’s worth a watch.

This is a presentation from Daniel Pink’s book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.

You know you’re a Youth Pastor if… you think you’re important enough to need a really expensive phone.

You’ve got an Android? Or an Blackberry? You don’t work on Wall Street. Don’t fool yourself. You’re not that important (but Jesus still loves you). And you’re not that organized. You’re a youth pastor.  You really bought the phone because it looked cool plus it had tons of  non-productive apps and games (though you’ll never admit it).

I’ll admit I was once a Blackberry owner. I confess my ministry narcism. I have repented (and downgraded).

So I salute you Overly Self Important Youth Pastor with cell phone that costs more than the church van or bus!

Today marks 11 years of marriage. Miriam is amazing – yes, she’s amazing beyond the fact that she’s put up with me for 11 years (16 years if you include dating). Now, I can say that I’ve know her for half of my life. That’s pretty incredible. So happy 11 years baby!

Here are some wise words from my empty bottle of tea. I enjoyed the tea. You enjoy the bottle. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Today for Cinco De Mayo, I shaved the beard into a Mexi Stache. Not to be outdone, Samuel shaved too…

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
