I had a great experience this morning with a girl working one of the Mickie D’s drive through windows. After I told her “Thank you” for processing my payment and giving me permission to move ahead, she responded with, “Thank you.” Not “You’re welcome.” Not “Okay.” Not silence. She said “Thank you.” It doesn’t seem like much right? But it was huge, and she’ll never know why. You see, in the context of customer service, the proper response to a … →
Sniff. Love you mom. Again, I love technology.
Last week, I quickly posted my thoughts on working long days. Lately, my job (my “real” job) has me and my co-workers working upwards to twelve hours per day including weekends. Through all of this working two thoughts have come to mind: I have a new-found respect for men/women who work these long hours on a regular basis. In fact, it is normal for them to pull 50+ hours per week. I’m used to 40 hours even. No more. No … →
Here are my thoughts over the past week. I love being a pastor. It is the greatest “job” in the world. We took a huge step forward yesterday with Kids Zone. A huge thank you to Stephanie and Susan for their hard work. It is greatly appreciated. I love my wife, Bridgett. Just saying. Don’t let your problems hold you back from completing God’s assignment for you. Push forward. Move ahead. GET IT DONE! Pastor = Coach. I’m learning this … →
Here’s a look at the new logo for Kids Zone. Nice isn’t it. Yup!
Would you be willing to place this sign outside of your church? Just a thought.
This to way too true to many people when asking them to speak in public. Honestly, this still happens to me from time-to-time. Anyone want to share their fear of public speaking?
I really do despise long days. What I mean by “long” is the days that I spend long hours doing something that’s mentally and/or physically draining. Yesterday was a long day. Today is expected to be one, too. In fact, this entire week is planned to be long. But at the end of these long days I can sit back and revel in the knowledge that God has taken care of me, and got me through it yet again. Wow! … →
It’s great to finally have a holiday from work. Not sure what I’m going to do, but it won’t be much. Anyway, here is my list of thoughts over the past week. Once again, the best service ever at Life-Givers was last Sunday. I’ve been excited about the future before (in fact, I am most of the time), but God has been more excited than ever. It almost makes me restless. God’s up to something BIG. Get ready! It’s coming. … →
“Today we celebrate our Independence Day!” – From the movie Independence Day. With today being the 4th of July, Independence Day, the entirety of the United States will be celebrating the freedom and liberty we have attained because of the sacrifice and convictions of our founding fathers. I, too, will be celebrating my freedom; freedoms to be more exact. “Freedoms?” you ask. Yes, freedoms. Today, I will not only celebrate my freedom by being a United States citizen, but my … →
