DISQUS

Chris,

In someways I think we (as a people) have forgotten about benefits of hard work. Thanks for the comment and being a part of the conversation.

Thanks Mike, I've also learned some big lessons from God in the in between ministry times.

Oscar,

I've been told to many times that church comes first and you look at their family and unfortunately its not what God intended. Now there is a new breed of leaders who say focus on your family and let your example be a part of your ministry. That's the boat I'm in. God didn't give us families to neglect, if we were supposed to give our all the ministry He would have called us to be single (and there is another great ministry we should be talking about). Thanks for the comment.

Kurt,

You are right for some reason the new ones they are making are not vacuum sealed, but rather have styrofoam insert instead. You can still find some of the originals you just have to take the bottom off and look for the vacuum seal and you'll get nice hot coffee for longer.

@Mark Gaeta -We are all doing well. Judah turned 2 last weekend and Chloe starts kindergarten in a month. We are staying in Ormond Beach for now and still looking for a new ministry. It was preached by Larry Cline at Holly Hill Church of Christ this last Sunday.

@Mike -You are right about that.

Chris,

I kind of figured from the tone that it was being sarcastic, as many people who take shoots at Driscoll it doesn't surprise me anymore. But I didn't know it was a satire magazine so thanks for the heads up. And thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Tony,

I agree because it is unnatural for us to require that of someone. But I've heard guys talk about how they are finding that new converts are much more willing to do evangelism than life long church leaders in their churches.

Thanks Jumaine! I think way to many of us see how easy it is to copy and paste something we find but forget that it wasn't thought about or constructed in our context. I know I've fallen into that trap and paid for it.

I hope that your church is going well and I'm glad to see you are taking time for your wife and to rest. Take care my friend.

Thanks, MIke! I really appreciate the prayers.

And thanks to all my other friends that have reached out to me in all sort ways to let me know you are praying and thinking of me and fam.

I have no more information about Ms. Wadoodi than is posted in the comment that I can make public. If you'd like and can email her for you and send her your info and see if she would like to contact you.

The company that makes these cups sells them under the name Contigo we have found them at Target and have heard rumors that you can get them at Costco's.

With a name like that there's not much else he can do!

Hey Carlos, Started following your blog around the time just before your time on LA Ink. Its such a small world that you moved from Cali to ATL and now you work with Moxie. I new Moxie when he was Mark and in a band called Sundry. We used to go to a lot of their shows and hang out when they were in FL. Small world. Thanks for the excitement and enthusiasm you write and post with it just fun to read your blog.

It's really cool to see the ways God uses "taboo" places to spread His word and reveal His glory. And the ink is amazing they all are very talented at what they do.

Thanks for the heads up Tony. I've been waiting for you to say the research is in and the results are up. I'll check out the Outreach page a little more in depth and see what you guys have come up with. Thanks for taking time to put information like this together for us to glean and learn from.

Mike,

Thanks for the info. That is pretty much we think she will be doing but I wanted to throw it out there to see if we are missing anything. We are realizing how much administration stuff is done in committees and ministry teams bogging them down from doing ministry so we are working to stream line some of that her way to free them up and make the admin stuff happen on a more consistent basis.

I can dispel some of the myth behind Moxie. Mark Gibson is an Atlanta area native and in high school was part of a band called Sundry. Those guys rocked. They had a great local following. The band members decided to go their separate ways about two years after high school, some went to college, one went to Nashville and Mark's alter ego was formed, Moxie, and became the front for his new band. Mark is a great guy with an amazing heart. He's a talented song writer and performer. Just a little dish to help you learn about the real Mark.

Thanks for the recommendation for the book. Its always good to hear from someone who owns a copy. I saw that you found this site by looking up house churches. I hope that your group of believers is faithful to God's word, works hard to accomplish God's mission to make more disciples and serves the world around you. God speed my friend.

MonT,

Like I said in my post I don't disagree with the stance on the name that you took and I think you did a better job in your comment. Maybe there is something to redeeming the name but there is also something said for doing something today to reconcile lost people who link Christians are a joke. On a side note Dave's church is called Community Christian Church so they do have some high regard for the name Christian.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate your help with this. I will work in the top white wording and also the word Outward. My goal with the gradient in Outward is movement, but maybe that can be achieved another way.

Sean,

Check out
Chris Marsden's blog, some one left a comment with links and details.

Thanks man. Chris Marsden & I were talking about your post when your daughter was born and home and commenting that we are going to have to walk a little further than our back deck to partake in male celebrations of child birth.

Beth,

I've never heard of those two coffee suppliers but I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dan,

You were right about the side bar, but how do I get that Earlier Entires that are in the side bar to come up in the Activity, Tage and Elsewhere at the bottom of the page? Thanks for the help.

Dan,

Thanks for the theme its awesome. I'm having a little trouble with the Rolling Archive all it loads is the Tags and it leaves the Latest Activity in the side bar. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
