Weekend Work Detail

How does everyone else handle the weekend work detail business around your house?  Does everyone grumble and moan about helping out?  How do you motivate them to just do it and get it over with?  Maybe you don’t do it on the weekends.  Saturday morning has become the time my household gets together and cleans the house.  For example this morning here’s our list:

• Dishes, load and unload
• Toilets, just do it
• Floors, sweep and mop, vaccum carpets
• Dust
• Trash, take out all bathroom and kitchen trash
• Clothes, fold and put away
• Bedrooms, pickup and put away

Parable Of Jotham

I was discussing the parable of Jotham over on the OSG group on facebook.  I thought it is very appropriate for the time we are currently in with the new leaders taking office soon.

If you would like to check it out it’s Judges 9:7-15.  Are there any Abimelech’s in this past election?

Here is my contribution to the election news frenzy today.  Plus I wanted to play around with the sproutbuilder.com tools.  Very cool stuff.

Celebration Dinner Broadcast

This weekend is a big one for Cornerstone.  We have our annual celebration dinner.  This is a time we look back over the year and see where we have been.  It is also a time to plan for the next year.  We are going to broadcast this event live on Mogulus.  On Sunday Nov. 2 at 5:30pm Central time you should see something in the player below.  Join us!  Or you can go here to Mogulus to see a bigger version with the chat screen enabled to the right of the player.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

This is just a small glimpse into all thats going on in my brain these past few weeks.  I have no idea how to put all of this down into a blog post so I’m going to try this.

Unity

u·ni·ty

Unity is a simple concept and if exercised in the right places can be very powerful.  Imagine the power of a church where all the members are unified.  If all the members of that church are in a oneness of mind and in harmony.  There wouldn’t be any critics or complaining within that church.  Everyone working together on one goal to spread the good news of Jesus Christ!  That would be an awesome thing to be apart of and see happen.
