great quote from KAY WARREN last week

"There is another world to be explored and conquered.  There is a world that is crying out for heroes, for people of adventure, people who will be courageous leaders.  It is the world of suffering."

this was as good as I could get....

was shocked the other day in the coffee shop... I think guy caught me taking a picture of him

being in Orlando

Had a great trip to Orlando. It was a last minute Rick invite to the campus pastors and me. I had to miss two really cool things here at home: Sue had a birthday party, and the last 3 days of Soren being in town from Germany. Missing these things, on top of missing my family, was a drag.

However, if I could go back in time and make the decision over, I would have made the same decision. It was a great trip! First of all, the conference was good. I want to go back next year. Second, hanging out with RW at nights was fun. Third, going to a couple of meetings with RW was great. Finally, it was really great for the three campus pastors (scott, erin, and dave) to hang out. We had some great conversations, great connecting, great on the fly brainstorms, and spent plenty of time laughing at how dumb I am. There's plenty of material there.

I also felt God confirmed a few things in my life, but I'll write more about that later.

Still hoping to set up my website on another server...waiting for Network solutions to change the email address associated with www.hokma.com .... maybe I just need to pick another name...

you are great

update from orlando

 
From Crackle: awesome FL update #2

goodbye MSN spaces...

my dear,

you have been so very good to me the last few months. it is time for me to move on. while you're features are rich, your UI is troublesome, changing you for the better is a challenge, and my few friends who read you can't comment because you are stupid. Soon you will be little more than a forward to my new page.

love,
matt

devotional idea

I have an idea for a devotional I want to write. I really have no one to write it for, but I'm still going to do it anyhow. more to come later.

conference update

I was divided on which breakout to go to... learning from mistakes...or "simplifying complexity" ... I chose learning from mistakes... the room filled up, a lot. like people where standing... I decided since I dodn't want to be there that bad, I'd give up my spot... So I'm in the simplifying complexity, and it's about planning... This guy is reading so much into Jethro's advice to Moses that I want to throw up... it's a little funny since this person's senior pastor said yesterday, "I trust all of my elders to exegete the Bible."
YUCK.
 
I'm all for having a biblical basis for everything you do and teach... however, there's a point when you need to say, "this is what I think is wise" and not pretend that it's "scripturally based."
 
right now I am learning about the "SOMBRERO ALIGNMENT MODEL" yes that's real, no it's not making sense
