I use tweetdeck on my computer and on my iphone. I like it because you can put people in groups and it makes it easier to keep track of the people you follow.

If your not on twitter yet why not give it a shot. If your a LifePointer make sure you are following your fellow LifePointers and keep tweeting it up!

time

Is it just me or does time seem to be speeding up? As a parent there are so many things that I struggle with. I love to see my kids grow and mature but there is part of me that is sad because I realize they are growing up.

It would be great if they could just stay the same age until I get that one right and then they could move on to the next one.

Yesterday just keeps getting further away and tomorrow is closer than it's ever been.

MAKE TODAY COUNT!

inspiration

I love inspirational stories. Stories that make you think. Stories that push you to be better.

Watch this video and think about how you can be great today.

vacation

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but we are in Texas seeing some family and hanging out by the lake. You can check out my twitter feed to keep up with all the vacation happenings.

change the world

LifePoint is helping to change the world. At the present moment we have people in Australia, Romania, and New Mexico. I just wanted to remind you to pray for them.

• Will & Nerida Henderson - Brisbane, Australia
• Kaitlyn Hayse - Romania
• Angie Davis - New Mexico

Please pray for these people as the work in orphanages, work on Indian reservations, and start a church. And please know that we all play a part in changing the world as we send them out and pray for them.

You might be thinking to yourself that you would like to do something like the people listed above. Maybe someday you will take a trip, and as amazing as that would be I want you to know what you can do now. You can change the world by caring for your neighbor, co-worker, or the person that waits on your table when you go out to eat.

Don't wait until you have the opportunity to take a missions trip to start changing the world. Changing the world starts today right where you live and with the people you already know and come into contact with.

God use us to change the world!

lifepoint at showplace 12

I have so much fun on Sunday's! I love hanging out with all the people who make LifePoint a great place. They get there early and stay late. You might ask yourself why would anyone do that? The answer is simple - because they love God and love people.

Here is this weeks perspective video.

called to care

Several people have asked me for the prayer that we talked about on Sunday. I asked everyone to pray this prayer everyday this week and see how God uses us to care for those around us.

If God gives you an opportunity to care for someone this week I would love to hear about it.

Lord, I pray for an opportunity to care for someone in some way this week. It’s not up to me to decide who or when or where. But I know why. Because you love them. So Lord, surprise me with opportunities to care.

Help me see those opportunities to react compassionately or listen patiently or speak kindly. Through word and deed, help me plant seeds of love in the lives of others. Give me boldness when it’s time to speak. Give me restraint when it’s time to listen. Give me words to say. But more importantly, give me ears to hear.

Lord, help me be sensitive to the prompting of your Holy Spirit so I can see the divine appointments you send my way. Help me to not say I care and then not act. Help me to be willing to give my time and resources when you prompt.

In Jesus name, amen!

useful iphone app

Have you ever been at a movie and really had to go to the bathroom but didn't want to miss anything good so you just waited. If you have an iphone there is now an app that lets you know when it's safe to go to the bathroom.

The RunPee iPhone app has a timer letting you know when it’s safe to take a break, and gives you a summary of what you missed upon your return.

You can read an article about the app here.

That is funny yet useful.

 

will & nerida henderson

Here is a quick video from Will & Nerida Henderson. LifePoint is helping Will & Nerida start a church in Brisbane, Australia.

Here a few things you can pray for:
• Protection for their family as they stat this new church
• God's provision for their financial needs
• A unified team that is focused and passionate about seeing the people of Australia engage with Jesus and the life He offers.

It is amazing to think that as a church we get the opportunity to impact the world with the love of Jesus all the way in Australia.
