Seth Godin wrote an interesting blog post yesterday titled “The Verizon guy who turned down the iPhone.” In the article he makes a few statements that I would like to see if we can apply to the church:
Are we happy we turned down ______________ (you fill in the blank)?
Is our default answer to new, creative, [...]
Traditionally, Baptist churches have looked at their baptism statistics to judge whether or not they are effectively reaching the lost. I’ve always had a problem with this form of analyzing because it doesn’t clearly tell if:
The person that was baptized had just come to know Christ as their Savior.
They had already become a believer at [...]

I’m going to try and do my best to answer common questions that I am asked related to photography. In three separate posts I’ll try and explain:
Aperture/F-Stop
Shutter speed
ISO/ASA

The last two weeks have been really cool. Here’s a couple of ways that I’ve seen God moving in the lives of people at Henderson Hills:
Middle School Camp - Last week we had 217 Middle School students attend our summer camp. The Camp theme was “Get Infected”. They ALWAYS come up with a cool theme [...]
Seth Godin wrote this morning in his blog about “Business Vibe”. Check it out here: Seth’s blog.
It got me thinking…what’s the “Vibe” when someone comes to church?
Is it positive or negative?
Friendly or unfriendly?
Warm or cold?
Inviting or closed?
Exciting or boring?
Insightful or mundane?
Caring or insensitive?
Loving or indifferent?
Great things to think about. I do believe what he says at the [...]

Keeping up with:
Practice and game schedules
Player information
Parent information
Refreshment schedules
Cancellations
Statistics
Photos
and sooooooo much more
Here’s something that I found over at [...]
Have you seen the new iPhone ads? They are really slick.
I’m not in the market for a new phone, especially one that is estimated to come on the market for approx $500-$600 bucks! I’ll keep my Treo 700p and just be satisfied with my 60g iPod.
But…it really looks cool. Check it out here: iPhone TV ads
I’ve been asked a few times how we, Henderson Hills, make decisions as to what gets included in our communication pieces. I’m including part of an email that I sent to someone trying to explain the steps we take to determine what gets promoted and what does not.
Yes, you read that right….some things don’t get promoted! Now don’t [...]
