SLING to the iPhone!

January 11, 2008 in Apple/Macintosh, Technology with 1 Comment

Sorry, but it is good for me to totally GEEK OUT sometimes. And you may want to prepare yourself because Macworld is coming up, which means I’ll have Apple on the brain for a few weeks.

Speaking of geeking out, ALSO SEE THIS. The anticipation is building deep inside me…Macworld is my Christmas morning every year.

Crazy Notes + Sore Throat = Disaster?

January 10, 2008 in Confessional, GOD, The Connection Church with 2 Comments

I am preaching this week. And I am PUMPED about it! I use a system called “Mind-mapping” for my notes. It has really helped me be able to focus on my delivery and not have to be glued to my notes when on stage.

But there is a small downside to my mind-maps. Cole doesn’t speak my mind-map language. And this morning, I woke up with just a little bit of that sore throat feeling. I’m giving Cole a typed out copy of the notes today just in case I lose my voice before Sunday. Pray that I stay healthy!

By the way, the sermon is crazy cool. Don’t miss it…

The NEW Mac Pro

January 9, 2008 in Apple/Macintosh, Technology with Comments Off

Wow. This is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. The new Mac Pro. Instant materialistic technological lust enters Zak’s heart. I configured one 100% maxed out for fun. Anyone want to donate $10,000 for a new TCC media computer?

My Goals for 2008

January 9, 2008 in Goals with Comments Off

It’s taken a couple of weeks, but I take setting goals pretty seriously. Check out my last post on that here. So here are my 2008 goals. These are not resolutions. Resolutions suck. These are GOALS. This isn’t all of them, it’s not all of the details, and they are not in any order. That would just be too personal…

Run a FULL Marathon, maybe the Vegas Marathon, maybe the San Antonio. Not sure yet.
Keep our Something SO Big commitment
Date my mate…at least 26 times. That’s every other week…
Lead our church to an average weekly attendance of 1,000 people…this goal has a HUGE sub-list of smaller goals.
Shower Amber with affection
Read two books on fatherhood
Read the other 50 some odd books that have accumulated on my shelf.
pay off all of our medical debt from Couper’s birth
Triple the amount of money we have saved up in our emergency fund
Go on a vacation…just Amber and me. Sorry Couper.
Go on a family vacation. Happy Couper.
Solidify my magic show routines and script them all out
Send more thank you notes
Ride in the “Hotter N’ Hell 100″ a 100 mile bike ride in Wichita Falls.
Communicate clearly. This includes being a better listener.
Transform our church and up our game in all of our ministry teams, especially as we head in to the PAC
Implement our new planning system and work out all of the “kinks.” This new system will help us to always be ahead of the game as far as planning out and creating our Sunday morning experiences.
Lead our church through the BEST and most spiritually challenging Christmas message series ever…which is already being planned because of the goal above!
