Signs of The Times...

Someone has gone to the trouble of assembling a collection of pictures of unusual signs. They're all pretty funny, but these are three that made me laugh...





Who would have thought signage could be so amusing?!

Listening & Leadership...

A big chunk of my day today will be spent in airports or on airplanes as I travel back to ABI after attending Drive Conference '09. As Drive concluded, Ricky Pruitt and I began debriefing each other on our key take-aways from the Conference. Here are some of the notes I asterisked in my Drive notebook:

* To be a great leader, you must be a great listener. Here's why... you are probably not the smartest person in your church/organization. You are just a leader.

* Leaders are attracted to environments where their ideas and opinions are heard. Leaders who refuse to listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say.

* If you want to attract gifted leaders to your church, create a system where their voices can be heard.

iMarriage- Part 3...

Today concludes the Drive Conference '09 which Ricky Pruitt and I have been attending this week. The Drive Conference is hosted by North Point Community Church. I wanted to share a final clip from a marriage enrichment lesson series that North Point did called iMarriage.



Ricky and I head back to ABI tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for us to have safe travel.

iMarriage- Part 2...

As I mentioned yesterday, this week Ricky Pruitt and I are in Atlanta attending the Drive Conference '09. The Drive Conference is hosted by North Point Community Church. I wanted to share another clip from a marriage enrichment lesson series that North Point did called iMarriage.



Ricky and I are learning a lot at Drive... keep us in your prayers.

iMarriage- Part 1...

My ministry partner, Ricky Pruitt, and I flew out of ABI early this morning headed for Atlanta to attend the Drive Conference '09. The Drive Conference is hosted by North Point Community Church.

I'm anticipating that it may be a busy next couple of days for me... so instead of trying to keep up with my regular posting routine, I thought I'd share some clips from a marriage enrichment lesson series that North Point did called iMarriage. (We recently based some lessons on this series in the Young Marrieds' class I teach at SoHills.) Enjoy these intros that North Point developed in support of the iMarriage series.



SoHills' Young Marrieds' group really benefited from the iMarriage series.

Happiness...

Even smiley faces can have a bad day.



No smiley faces were actually harmed in the making of this video.
