What Are You Reading?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:37 AMLike Mike, I’m a “book in hand” kinda guy. Been thinking about a kindle, but just don’t think I’ll like it.
Just finished reading two great books:
“The Revolutionary Paul Revere” by Joel Miller
“Evolving in Monkey Town” by Rachel Evans
Currently reading:
“Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis
“Death in the Dark Continent” by Peter Capstick
In the “Summertime” queue:
“The Poor will be Glad” by Peter Greer
“The Quest for God and Guiness” by Stephen Mansfield
“Born Standing Up” by Steve Martin
“Imaginary Jesus” by Matt Mikalatos
“The Hole in Our Gospel” by Richard Stearns
Margin - Do You Have It?
June 25th, 2010 at 8:34 AMGreat post Fred! The battle to create margin (time, finances, health, etc…) in my life is one I’ve been fighting since I heard Greg Surrat preach a series on it almost two years ago at Seacoast Church.
I’ve had successes in some areas, and utter failures in others, but the benefit from even small victories make the fight worthwhile.
This mindset is so counter to the culture we live in, I have found that everything around me (including myself at times) seams to resist it. There is no “magic bullet” to get there. It takes time, commitment, sacrifice and constant re-evaluation of priorities (needs vs. wants) to not only get to a place of margin, but also to maintain it. I’m not a big fan of any of those things, but if it was easy, I guess everyone would already have margin.

Regimen Returns and My Heart Explodes
April 6th, 2010 at 1:41 PMI looked at the link above. Looks like some pretty good stuff in there. Does the model you have track change in elevation as well (Want that for my cycling)?

Regimen Returns and My Heart Explodes
April 5th, 2010 at 3:38 PMHey Fred! Great job getting “back at it”. I’m in a similar spot, and actually started my exercise routine back this weekend (rode my bike about 12 miles and did some core fitness stuff). I am FEELING it today for sure!
I’m waiting for my new orthotics to come in so I can start running again. How do you like the Garmin watch? I’ve been thinking about getting one, but I’m still on the fence about it.
This is Wrong in So Many Ways
March 10th, 2010 at 9:11 AMThere is a saying in the manufacturing industry: “You are only as good as your last screw-up.” It is bad enough to work in that kind of environment in a “secular” job. It is truly unfortunate that it is rampant in the church as well. Moreover, it is horrifying that I see it in my own life! This is actually something God has been challenging me on lately (in my personal and professional life)…timely word Fred!
4 Things We Can Learn from Pat Robertson's Haiti Remarks
January 14th, 2010 at 9:21 AMWell said, Fred.
Regimen Training: Hurricane Taylor
September 1st, 2009 at 7:59 AMSticking with any exercise routine for the long haul is really the tough part. Working out with a group (or at least a training partner) really helps to keep you motivated…I guess that applies to spiritual things as well, huh!?!?!
Keep up the good work, Fred!
Sunday Setlists #51 - Worship Confessionals

Monday Muse: What's Your Twitter Follow Strategy?
June 29th, 2009 at 1:34 PMOn TweetDeck, I have 4 catagories:
Community – Friends, Family & other people I have had legitimate interactions with.
Mentors – Mostly pastors, plus a few others whos tweets I find inspiring.
Music – Pretty much what you would think here.
News – Again, the obvious here.
If you don’t fit into one of these groups, I don’t follow you. I guess it comes down to what you are looking for in this type of forum. This works for me.
Sunday Setlists #45 - Worldwide Worship Recaps
May 31st, 2009 at 3:15 PMHey Fred. Thought I’d be #1 this week, but I couldn’t get the Mr. Linkey to work on my BlackBerry. Oh, well.
BTW, I caught a little of SSI’s LiveStream this am. Nice camera work, Bud!
Ooooooooooooh!
Sunday Setlists #44 - Worship Recaps #sundaysetlists

Redneck Worship Leader: True Story Tuesday?
May 21st, 2009 at 9:27 AMFred,
Man, that story brought back a ton of memories from “back in the day” for me growing up in Claxton! Never forked anyone’s yard, but me and the guys were pretty well known for our work with TP and road construction saw horses (the ones with the flashing lights).
Hope one of your stories covers the topic of snipe hunting!
Monday Muse: What is Charismatic? #mondaymuse
May 19th, 2009 at 12:14 PMIt always reminds me of the term Mickey Rodriguez used often…”Charasmaniacs”
Sometimes it was a positive reference, and sometimes…not so much!
Sunday Setlists Week #43 - Worldwide Worship Recaps
May 18th, 2009 at 7:53 AMFred, praying for your back Bro!
BTW, when are you going to break out the hammered dulcimer in P&W?
Monday Muse - How Much is Enough?
May 11th, 2009 at 9:50 AMGreat thought to start the week off Fred.
One thing I have found is that as long as I am trusting God to meet my needs, and being a good steward of what I do have, I always have enough (regardless of my financial situation). However, when I transfer that trust to myself to “handle it”, I find myself always in lack, no matter how good my income may be.
On a side note, this doesn’t’ just apply to finances. It works the same with relationships, work, and even time management.
Thanks for the reminder.
