I came across this great article from Harvard Business Review. It was short thought provoking and to the point. “If we want to change what they care about, we should change what we measure.” “What you measure is what you will get. Period” I think this is a great question for children’s ministry. If we get what […]

Well in back to back days I have seen the series finales of two shows that had been my favorite at one time. I remember watching the very first episode of 24. I was hooked until season 5 when the writing became stale and predictable. I also remember watching the first episode of the second season of Lost

What if you could give away 15 tasks for a small fee? Would you do it. I think I just might. I came across a great product with an unfortunate name Fancy Hands. Not as bad as the iPad but still just sounds weird. I first saw this product mentioned on Kem’s blog. Time is

One of the things I am good at is knowing what I am not good it. One of those things is spelling and grammer. They say the opposite of love is not hate but ambivalence well that is me with grammer. If I were a super hero I think my power would be the ability to read misspelled words.
