7 Days of Servolution: Amplified Update from Healing Place Church on Vimeo.

this is freaky

alrighty, so here's the deal for all of you that didnt hear the news...yup, you guessed it, we're gonna be parents!!! how scary is that? anyway,this is a pic of the first time we went to the doctor and saw him/her (preferably her)and we found out that it looks like the due date is around november 22. this is totally a miracle since jenn and i have been trying for about 1 1/2 years. so, please be praying for everything to be all gravy!

tour de SERVE

so here's the deal: Pastor Dino and I had this crazy idea to rock the serve mobile to a couple of the partnering churches that have joined up for the 7 days of SERVOLUTION!! Basically, a couple of guys and I are planning on taking a little tour de serve and trying to drop in on a few of the churches to get some video footage and interviews of what God is doing thru SERVOLUTION....Im pretty stoked about the tour!!! And then to top it all off we plan on taking the serve mobile to the next level and leaving for the ARC conference a few days early to bust up some outreaches the whole way up to the N.C. and then park that mug right all up in the mix!!!! so, heres the deal: i need some of you weirdos to be praying that we can get the serve mobile's heart in good condition cuz she's definitely got some internal issues with the motor OR if you or somebody you know has a clue about mechanical stuff then gimme a shout!!! also, if you or your church want to hook up with hundreds of other churches participating in this massive servolution then you can sign up or check out more info here. holla

reminds me off growin up in the AG baby!!!!

3rd generation

well, here's the deal....I've been rocking the blackberry for a while but I'm seriously considering pulling the switch-a-roo when I'm up for my upgrade in march. SCARY!!! i really cant stand phone switches and to be honest i really like my blackberry but I'm prolly gonna switch for two reasons:
1. mobile-me to help me with my many calendar issues
2. 3G

anyway be praying for me hahahahaha
for all of you that tuned in needing one of the doctor's spiritual nuggets you may be feeling disappointed at the lack of spiritual content associated with this post so let me, like a good preacher, tie this into something spiritual hahahah but for real...
cool leadership thought i stumbled on during sermon prep...the thought is based on this great passage in 1 kings 12:1-14

Rehoboam illustrates the crucial need to pass on faith in God carefully
and deliberately from one generation to the next. David was the first
generation of a new era of history. The Scriptures remembered him as a
deeply committed man of God who molded a nation from a loosely organized
group of competing tribes. Second generation Solomon inherited a stable
kingdom and simply had to organize the nation.

Rehoboam is a classic example of a pattern of behavior seen in the third
generation. He showed little concern for God or for the nation he was to
rule as the anointed of God. Whether in nations, organizations,
businesses, churches, or families, the third generation is always at risk.
Frequently, they simply inherit the traditions of their parents without
making them their own. The dream of the first generation does not fire
them. They are not compelled to maintain the stability won by the second
generation. They often see no need to walk in the ways of their fathers
and try to make their own way. Lacking commitment to something beyond
themselves, without the guidance and wisdom of a larger community, their
quest for independence becomes their destruction.

Weirdos

Jp's castin out the "destroyer".....great job Dup in reaching 09 goals!!!!

Zondervan

Pretty cool oppurtunity I heard about that's going on at HPC this weekend!!!
Fwd from Ps Johnny:

I want to let you know about a unique opportunity at our Highland Campus services this weekend (January 3rd and 4th). We're going to be hosting Zondervan Publishing's Bible Across America tour. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the NIV Bible, they are travelling by RV all across America to invite people to contribute to a completely handwritten Bible – America's NIV – that will eventually be sold in retail stores and online. Their tents will be set up outside the back foyer for all Highland services, and everyone will be invited to write a verse for this historic Bible. There is no age limit!
Help us to spread the word!
