Shep vs. Nader

Did anybody see this interview last night?  Wow!  Shep sounds like a little kid…AAAMMM, you said…

It Is Finished!

I am so stinkin’ glad that the campaigning is done!  We finally know who our 44th president is going to be.  Although we are finished hearing who we should vote for, we have only just begun the fun of “Hope” and “Change” of this nation.  By the way, I heard last night that Obama is black…huh, who knew!

VOTE

I voted a couple of days ago.  Can I just say, “I love early voting“.  I walked in, signed in, voted, and was leaving in less than 10 minutes.  The last election I voted in, there was a line outside and we waited for about 45 minutes in the dark.  Early voting is well worth it.  I can’t say that I’m proud of my vote this year.  I just didn’t feel that there was a clear cut candidate.  I don’t like either of the major party’s nominations.  I honestly feel like maybe I should not have even voted.  But, I did my civil duty, my right, gave my opinion…now I’m squeamish about it :0).

Camp Poll

Small Group Poll

I told you I was excited abou this new poll option.  Here’s the first one…

 

Three Translations

There are just a few people that I follow on blogs.  Mark Batterson is the pastor of NCC in the DC area and always has some great stuff.  Here is a link to “Three Translations”!  Thanks for the good word Mark, keep up the great work!

Sidenote:  I have just figured out that WordPress now has a polling function…can’t wait figure that out.

Game Day…Church Style

Straight up jacked this from my boy Hellums.  Sorry, but it is a great video…

Committed

I watched a video the other day that rocked my thought pattern.  It was a man on the street interview that simply asked “what are you committed to?”.  I immediately began to associate with the first two or three people as they began to list family, environment, and education (it was done on a college campus).  I began to ponder…what would I say right now if a mic was stuck in my face and I had to answer that question off the top of my head?  To my disgruntlement, Christ was not on that list.  WHY???  About four or five students into the interview one said..my religious beliefs, and it hit me like of ton of bricks.  Am I committed to Christ?  I sure thought I was…

Here are a few verses that have been resinating with me since watching the video:

The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chron 16:9

He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.  Titus 2:14

The Chat Feature

Every website and business should have a chat feature on their website.  I lovethe chat feature.  This first I saw of this was a few years ago when I was teaching.  I assigned the students to do research on some colleges.  I assigned them a school and sent them on their way.  One student came back with all the answers in a very short time.  When I asked him how he got them so quickly he said…”some lady answered all the questions”.  Knowing his normal lack of effort, I asked if he had taken then initiative to call the school?  He said “pssh, NO,”and told me about the chat feature.  Since then I have started to see it on many different sights and I love it.  I needed help with the my computer the other day and they had a chat feature that was awesome!  I was doing some research a little bit ago and couldn’t find the answers I was looking for on their website, so I pulled up the chat window and got clear answers.  I need to figure out how to make a chat window on this blog .

Bailout…Using Envelopes

My big “P”(pastor), Charles Whitmire has the solution for America on his blog via Dave Ramsey.  You can click here to read it.  It’s all very confusing to me but it looks a lot better than $700 Billion.  I’ve heard that that amount of money is the equivalent of giving every American over the age of 18, $33,000.  That is pretty darn stimulating.
