Pre-concert thoughts
With just a few days left before the Light Force concert (Sunday @ 7) I’ve got a lot of dreams for the thing. This is the first time we’ve tried this… and I’ve got a lot of thoughts floating around my head. Most importantly, I hope the event is well-attended and fun for everyone who…

Light Force Concert
On April 20th, 2008 Light Force is hosting a great concert. Jimmy and his band will be joined by local band, Nowhere Found. I’ve been thinking and dreaming about this event for a long time. We know that in Romeo 4% or less of 6-12 graders regularly attend a youth group… but we also know…

Off to Shoot a Movie
Today I’m hanging out with my favorite peeps, the cast and crew from Light Force. We’re going to conceptualize, shoot, edit, and release a movie today. It’s called “10 Things I Did While My Friends Were in Florida.” We’ll be driving all over the Metro area shooting all sorts of weird things. I can’t wait…

Last Night was Great
Last night in Light Force we had our 3rd worship night. And they just keep getting better. The first two I was really self-conscious about who was and wasn’t there. (Easy to do when only a couple people show up!) This one I was just focused on making it a great night. We had a…

So, ready for coffee?
In the coming weeks I’ve cleared my schedule a lot so that I can concentrate on two things more than I have in the recent past. Spend time with parents of Light Force students. Spend time with Light Force students, with a purpose. So here’s the deal. If you are a student or a parent…
