Navajo Mission Trip 2009

June 4, 2009 in church, Church IT, missions, Personal, Technology with 4 Comments

Each year Woodland sends a team to New Mexico to minister at the Navajo Reservation. They work mainly with three organizations: Western Indian Ministries, Forest Lake Baptist Church in Black Mesa, and Rez Refuge. Ministry opportunities include: construction and renovation, distribution of clothing and health care supplies, outreach at local orphanages, and senior craft seminars.

This summer a group from Woodland, Shana (my wife), and I will be heading to the Navajo Nation July 10th – 18th. We will be working to renovate and develop a Youth Community Center for the reservation, along with the projects listed above.  I will also be helping out with their network, computers, and possibly starting a computer lab.  We ask for your prayers and financial support as we prepare for this trip.  We also are looking for computer, monitor and networking equipment donations.

We used this video as part of our services this weekend at Woodland,  I just wanted to share and say Thank you to my dad, my brother, my uncle, and ALL that have served our country in the Armed Services. And especially for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, their loved ones, and those they never met.

10 things from Pat Williams

May 18, 2009 in church, Personal with 1 Comment

Last summer I went to the International Shelby Conference where Pat Williams, Co-founder and Senior Vice President, of the Orlando Magic was the keynote speaker.  As I was cleaning my desk and a conference bag they gave out I came across my notes from his speech.

  1. Live your life by the faith phenom
  2. Character counts (Honesty, Integrity)
  3. Never give up
  4. Go the second mile
  5. Take your hurts and turn them into strengths
  6. Seek out the right kind of friends
  7. You are responsible (for the decisions you make)
  8. Be specific in goal setting
  9. Say the right kind of words
  10. Think positive thoughts

He also shared a quote from John Wooden that I really liked, “If you can’t discipline yourself, someone else will have to do it for you, and the cost is much higher.”

Church Techie Biggest Loser 4

May 12, 2009 in church, Church IT, citrt, Food, Personal, Sports with Comments Off

Once again the Church tech world is going to get a little lighter.  After finishing BL3 in 4th place I’ve set my goals a little higher this time (as I always do).  Of course everything just seems to be an excuse for something else, but I’m figuring this will all be worthwhile so we got the kayaks racks back on the Trailblazer, went and bought a couple of mountain bikes to hit the trails with, and of course all of that will let us do some more geocaching so I’m exicted for a great summer.  The wife has just 16.5 days of school left and then she gets the summer off (I think I should have been a teacher) so I’ll just be trying to keep up with her. All that to say I invite each of you in the Church techie world whether staff or volunteer, IT, Web, AV, or Tech/Production Arts to join us in Biggest Loser 4.  And if you’re wondering it’s all based on % so you have an equal or better shot no matter your size. I double dog dare ya!
