Last night was a really fun night with friends celebrating our independence. I was reminded that I had a BLOG. Who knew? Yes I do, and it has been quite neglected since Rykens birth and our big move to Colorado. God has been teaching me many things and I need to write about them. So...while I compose my thoughts (and compose for the blogosphere) I will try to post some pictures and captions between longer deep post to keep it a little more interesting, and much less baron. I will also be repost a few entries. I may try to transition this blog to a new platform. I will let ya know.

I am so glad He is with me always. He is my comforter in every area of life, but many times I have to be reminded when I feel completely alone.

Good to Laugh at Yourself! "Sunday is Coming"

"Sunday's Coming" Movie Trailer from North Point Media on Vimeo.



It is great to be able to laugh at yourself and this video does.... The people of North Point church made this video and they definitely have some of these elements, the good news is they get it. They can laugh at themselves. Realizing that if relevance is only skin deep and you don't live what you preach...you loose all credibility. Church has to be more than a good live show on Sunday, we need to be the church. We have to serve one another and give of ourselves. I have seen this in action this week as Journey church and other church organizations have gone out in our community to serve the people that have lost everything in our historic flood, not just one day but everyday this week. They are living relevancy and are being the church. No, I don't want to go back to the old days where churches had pews and you only sang from a hymnal. I will always have a place in my heart for that type of reverent worship but we have to be a spirit led church in all we do. Formulas are for math equations and not from the heart of God. We, (the church) have only one map to follow, the Bible, one voice to listen to and that is Holy Spirit.

Why Social Media?

Don't get left behind!

MORE HERE: This is very well done

Franklin TN Flood 05-02-10 May 2010 from Jonathan Melton on Vimeo.



The last two days have been unbelievable. We have had more rain here than they have ever recorded in history. 15 plus inches. The Rivers and tributaries are overflowing all over the area. Our schools are closed and many people have lost their homes. This is a very serious situation and some have even lost their lives. I am so sad for the families involved. Please continue to pray for the people in the Nashville area. The pictures just take your breath away with all the devastation. I have seen Brick homes lifted off the foundations and cars stacked like blocks.

However, on a lighter note the Judd's buffalo have escaped, (I hope not to see them) and this guy caught a carp off the road bank at Blackman road and Edmonson Pike! CRAZY!

ONLY IN TENNESSEE! HOLY CARP!
