If you are one of those that like to make comments you now have to register. I have just spent too much time dealing with spam, sorry if that is a problem for you. I hope this is a small fix.

cold brrrrrr…..

Posted on October 29th, 2008 by by jima

It has been bone cold the last two days in Dallas, GA. I know those folks that had a foot of snow yesterday in NY or the snow in North Carolina are probably laughing at me right now but I might even have to put on some socks if it doesn’t get a little warmer.  […]

How cool is this

Posted on October 28th, 2008 by by jima

I have been accused of being a sports fanatic in the past. As I reached the age that I knew I was too old to even try my interest waned a little. I grew up watching the Yankees play baseball. They were in the World Series so often when I was a boy I thought […]

Voting

Posted on October 27th, 2008 by by jima

I voted this morning. I am actually going to be away from the area on Tuesday so I needed to vote early. I was tempted not to even bother this year. From a poli-sci major in college that is a pretty serious disappointment. I thought probably the guy I would vote for is going to […]

WRC landscape team is doing some STUFF this weekend to improve the look of the campus. Lot of donated stuff to be planted and lots of labor donated. A boy scout project or two. Amazing amount of work.

I visit a lot of churches and I’ve not found anything that compares. The teaching is sound and biblical and presented in a very […]

Message Received

Posted on October 21st, 2008 by by jima

Sometimes our messages get really garbled. We often think we have communicated effectively when someone says we said something entirely different from your meaning. There’s the old comic bit, “I know you think you understood what I said, but what I said was not what you understood.” or something like that.
One of the lessons in leadership […]

Charleston

Just got back last night from a trip to Charleston, SC. Beautiful city and area. River Church is going to do well. We had great meetings with denominational types and great meetings with the school guys, and a great time hanging out with potential team members. God is opening some doors for Todd and his […]

Gary Lamb said on his blog that of the 14 pastors at the church planting class this weekend that he could only get excited about 3 of them. That’s okay some of them weren’t excited about Gary. But he did a great job once you get around some of the negative. I love what […]
