Bees & Turtles

Our daughter turns 3yrs old today. She wanted to have a garden party so all her friends could dress up as bees, ladybugs, butterflies and whatnot. As a result I ended up with a bumble bee and turtle.

Happy Birthday Kyla

The Red ONE

I’ve been fascinated with this Red ONE Camera from the moment I read an article on it in Wired Magazine.  You can check out Red’s Website here and/or the video below.

Is Tait Mount Cody?

I first have to thank Courtney Nix for pointing this out to me during Bama’s first half romp of UGA Saturday.  Now,  I must admit that I was a long time fan of DC Talk.  I mean lets be honest, at one point they were Christian Music.  I still like to pump the Jesus Freak album occasionally.  I actually kept up with the 3 members for some time and they’ve all had great individual success.   Probably the most intriguing member to me has been Michael Tait, I like musicals and such so I really enjoyed Hero the Rock Opera  that he was involved with.  Having said that,  I was curious as to what he’s been up to lately, and as of Saturday night I think I know.  It appears that Tait has taken some time and bulked up to the tune of about 200 extra lbs and now plays nose guard for the University of Alabama.  That’s right my friends;  Michael Tait former member of DC Talk is in fact  MOUNT CODY.  Judge for your self

 

Streaming Now

GameTime the stream is on!  Come on over.

The stream is on

We will be streaming this weekend as Bama takes on Georgia.  Please come tune in again and watch us watch the game The stream will begin at  6:30pm kickoff at 6:45.  Here’s the link  See you there.

Seriously?

Tim Stevens has a post today on his blog that you should check out. ( here it is ).  I never really get into political discussions, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m disinterested or what.  I do care, it just doesn’t seem to be in the forefront of my mind that much.  I’m not sure why, but Tim’s post really jumped out to me.  If the numbers that he gives are anywhere close to accurate,  then this should weigh heavily on our decision as to where our votes go.  I think it’s reasonable to look at how and where these charitable contributions were spent;  but don’t you think that ultimately your compassion and actions to help others is a direct reflection of who you are as a person (and also as a leader)?  That’s what Jesus said anyway, and I’m sticking to it.

Bama Georgia Stream

I’m considering doing another stream for the big game coming up this Saturday night.  Bama is headed to Athens to roll on Georgia.  This will give us a much better idea of what this Bama team is all about.  Expectations are always high in Tuscaloosa and it’s no different this year,  but if we were to pull the upset on Georgia,  then it will definitely go through the roof.  I’ll let you know if we plan on streaming.  The address is www.rockmoonmedia.com/stream

Making Vision Stick

I had an hour or so after cutting grass last night before Kass and the kids got home,  so I took the opportunity to read “Making Vision Stick” by Andy Stanley.  It was a great short read and I highly recommend it for anyone in a leadership role.  A friend of mine told me about Andy’s talk on this at Drive and was very impressed.  We talked a lot about this in our class at WRC a few weeks ago.  Andy lays it out by giving you 5 things to do to help make vision stick and gives great practical examples of each.  Anyway here they are:

1.  State the vision simply.

2.  Cast the vision convincingly.

3.  Repeat the vision regularly.

4.  Celebrate the vision systematically.

5.  Embrace the vision personally.

Church Metrics

Here’s another freeby church resource for all you guys.  I’ve had a feeling that the guys at Lifechurch.tv where going to do something big soon.  I think they really have a drive to resource churches in every way they can.  I introduce Church Metrics.  You’ll definately want to check out the intro video and sign up for future updates.  Enjoy
