My 3 Words for 2010
What are you resolving for 2010?
Instead of writing resolutions for the new year I have taken to writing 3 words that will serve as guiding points for the coming year. To read how resolutions differ from to-do lists read HERE.
HERE are my 3 words from 2009: Build, Execute, Lead.
In hindsight I think I did a good job on these goals. I don’t intend on giving up on those goals, but instead,...

What are you resolving for 2010?
It’s that time of the year again.
The time of year when people reflect what they desire to accomplish in the next year. I’m in the process of developing my 3 words for 2010.
For more information on how I am doing this READ THIS from Chris Brogan. And then check out my three words for 2009 HERE.

Things I'm Thinking About Today
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most enjoyment), how much are you enjoying your life right now? Is this more or less than you were five years ago? Ten years ago?
How has your life turned out differently from the way you thought it would? What would you feel if you knew nothing would change in your situation for the rest of your life?
How would you answer these questions?
Things Just Aren't As They Should Be
I am aware that things just aren’t as they should be. That something is missing.
Do you have moments when you want more out of life?
I want more out of our church services. I want compete worship; not just a message of hope with three worship songs to tie me over. To hear God speak to me and the people of Renaissance Road Church daily; and to be obedient. To grow in my knowledge of the...

4 Things I Am Learning...
We have an external life, which consumes most of us.

Prayer of Beginning
“Search me, O God, and know my heart.” (Psalm 139:23)
Dear Jesus,

Praying For My Pastor
Perry Noble has this to say on his blog the other day about praying for your pastor and I think it bears repeating.
Pray For:
His Walk With God - Pray that his relationship with Jesus isn’t one out of obligation, but of obession for Him.
His Integrity - Pray for your pastor to keep his eyes on Jesus and off of anything that might lead him astray.
His Marriage - Pray that your pastor...
