What I Think

Since this is my blog, I get to tell you what I think.  You may not care - and that's fine, but here are a mass of tangentially related thoughts floating around in my head.
  • I think I'm both sad and excited at the same time to be done with 6 Things I Hate About Christians.  Sad because of the amazing response people had but excited because I get to work on a new series in Colossians - Open Door Policy
  • I think yesterday was an amazing church day.  Personally connected with the worship, felt good about the message, and I always love when we have a Communion Meal at Discovery
  • I do think the new budget submitted by the President is too much spending and not enough cutting of expenses.  Oh, and taking more from people who have more - bad idea.
  • I think somebody needs to find us some FREE office space.  It's hard working from home, coffee shops, fast food joints and restaurants.
  • I think Facebook is a great way to connect with people
  • I think Twitter is great because I like knowing what's going on in people's lives (and I can use it to update my Facebook status, which apparently people enjoy reading) but it can be a major distraction if I'm not careful
  • I think we as a church need to pray more and plan less
  • I think it's absolutely one of the grossest things to catch my dog eating it's own crap and then remembering that I let her lick me.
  • I think having 5 kids isn't enough (at least at this moment - ask me again when they do something stupid or break another laptop)
  • I think seeing people who are already Christian being changed by Christ is just as much of a success as seeing people who aren't Christians getting "saved" and being changed into sons and daughters of God Himself
  • I think I still don't understand the power, grace and love of God
  • I think between my wife and I, I most definitely got the better deal.
  • I think that as a church, Discovery should and will be able to directly touch 10,000 people in Greenville this year through community involvement, service and acts of kindness.  We're already over 1,000 touches.
  • I think email should only work 6 days a week.  Period.  It just shouldn't work on Sunday (or some other day, just pick one - I don't care)
  • I think my BlackBerry phone is fine, but when it is supposed to work with Mac, it's not.  And I'm now using MissingSync which has only made things NOTICEABLY worse since I upgraded to version 2.0.  So either the Blackberry sucks or the MissingSync sucks.
  • I think an iPhone would solve that problem - but I'm waiting until they come out with a new iPhone
  • I think technology is a blessing and a curse - depends on the day and my mood
  • I think this week is going to be interesting and this weekend is going to be great!
  • I think there are too many whiners and not enough people doing something to change their own circumstances - just whining about what others should do or why they're in the situation they're in.  Come on people, take responsibility and take care of your problems.
  • I think I'm done - for now. 
So, what do you think?

I think this is a good post, and I like bullet lists.

Jason, really...tangentially? Is that even a word? I think it is a little late to be wanting more children. I seem to remember a little snip, snip that Lora assisted with. I can't thank you enough for loving my son and his family. Blessings!

Well Grandma Strickland, don't think you could make me stop loving your son and his family. And yeah, don't remind me - I remember the snip snip myself. But hey - we can always adopt!
