Are Christmas songs worship songs?

So are they worship?

What bothers me personally is the fact that we start seeing and hearing Christmas earlier every year. This year on Halloween day there was a local radio station that played Christmas music all day! I like Christmas music, don’t get me wrong but I don’t want to hear it until after Thanksgiving.

Lets not forget…

Daraja Children’s Choir: Part II

So I told you about us hosting some kids from the Daraja Children’s Choir last week and said I would follow up with some thoughts of the visit so here it is.

Daraja Children’s Choir

Tonight we have guests coming…

Four people that call Africa home will call our house home for the next couple of days.

Here is a little info on who The Daraja Children’s Choir are:

Mike’s Motto “I don’t want to waste the cancer”

As many of you know I teach 12th grade high school “Fuel Group”. This week one of the girls in the group lost her father to cancer after about a 3 year battle. It was an emotional and yet inspiring  funeral Here is why…

Servolution and a Five Stones changeup

This Saturday is Servolution! What is Servolution you ask? A Serving Revolution!

Still don’t know? Ok, let me explain…

Jackalopekid

What is a Jackalope?

Well, here is a picture, it’s a rabbit with antlers basically.

So what is a Jackalopekid?

Well, here is the description from his site:

Dunking and grilling

This Sunday at Five Stones Church we are doing our very first baptism! A historic moment as we dunk some children and adults.

It is exciting knowing that we already have some very committed people when we are just over a month old as a church.

#saveballoonboy #balloonboy

Those were two of the most popular hashtags on twitter yesterday and still number two a day later. There are now a lot of questions and controversy about the event.

First I will say no matter what I am glad the boy is safe, as someone with a five year old it was horrible thinking what could have been.

Back to the controversy…

36 today

It’s no big deal, it seems like an insignificant one actually, not like 30 or 40 or even 35. 36… meh.

I don’t feel older really and I have had people surprised by how old I am which is a compliment I am sure I will not get for long. My kids think I am cool (so far) since I am a younger father than many of their friends dads, and play guitar in a band, that may not last long either. (not the guitar playing but seeming cool)

But even though it is not a big deal to me, it is still a good point to stop, reflect and change direction on some things where needed. So I will do that and see what things I need to change and just enjoy another day.

So often I think about where I want to be and forget where I am

Are you like that also? I have passions and dreams and things I want to be doing and in the process of thinking about that I can lose sight of where I am at the moment and how to make the most of it.
