I was cleaning out some files today. Really the first clean out of my desk in 3 + years and I came across a placemat that i wrote on.
Here is what it said.
4 components of an effective vision:
1. the problem
2. the solution
3. the reason something must be done
4. the reason something must be done now

No this isn't a comeback. But it's just that I felt like blogging.
So, here's what I heard yesterday. I heard that trying isn't enough in my faith journey. I have to train. Don't skip that difference there.
I think it was a monumental Sunday for those that attended NewPointe yesterday. Don't miss it.
Training and trying is all the difference -- training speaks of intentionality, sweat effort, determination, fortitude. Trying speaks of secrecy.
I hope and pray that 2010 at NewPointe we become a church filled with people trained to follow Christ.
Big thanks to Jeff Conn and Wes Feldner - our worship crew that led at Aqua last night.
I gave them less than 6 hours notice to learn a new song - can you say mastery!
I love working with guys who are incredibly talented, and more so incredibly humble and willing.
Thanks guys!
Yesterday someone was talking with me and then said this - do you mind if I speak into your life a bit?
And I immediately said yes! I love when people move beyond just casual conversation into helping me see who I should be becoming.
Many kind words from him and a thank you from me and I was out.
And then it hit me. We speak into people's lives more often then we realize. Even more than when we ask to.
Be careful with your words, it is affecting others. That's my thought on all of this. Because my influence on your life isn't only when I ask. It really never stops
Twice in one week? Between Facebook, Twitter and this blog - I'm thinking about making some cuts.
Social media is great, but it can command your life. I refuse to work for technology.
Yesterday was happy father's day. Today is happy re-blogging day. I have thoughts and a perspective or even an opinion about why I haven't blogged too much. But I won't do that to you - because that would steal a post idea.
So to sum up my father's day request - I asked my wife if I could take a nap. She thought I was joking. But that's all I wanted.
1 hour later, I awoke to Gino banging on the screen outside the window above my couch. He was calling my name, banging and pointing to me.
Best nap of my life. Because I woke up to Gino calling my name. Kind of special on Father's day.
Don't expect a post tomorrow!
Off to Atlanta with some of our team here at NewPointe - checkin out the Orange Conference.
Is it me or is Atlanta now the annual pilgrimage destination for mega churches? funny
