Doorframes of TaterHouse : Abandoning Church

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:46:28 +0000

Totally agree Ryan, I am of the same mindset. I believe in the church and I understand that there will be flaws in it, but that doesn't mean there won't be in 'a cause' either. Thanks for the thoughts.

Danny J Bixby : What is a small group?

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:28:28 +0000

First thought: A small group of people. Next more in depth thought than the obvious: Closeness. I think of small groups like when you hang out with a work friend outside of work. It's a whole new level of your friendship. Same when you get together in small groups. You become close with those people; a new level of friendship is developed and cultivated. I know not everyone is a fan, but I typically enjoy small groups.

Just like your gravitar, I give it two thumbs up.

Great post, Ryan. A fine line to say the least.

Doorframes of TaterHouse : Attention: Church is cancelled today!

Yes. All at the same place? Probably not. I can see it split up and continue meeting while others attend other churches. I attend a fairly large church that barely fits in its current auditorium now. Housing would be a factor. Also, our church is pastored by its founder. *I believe churches who have had other pastors over the years would be able to survive without their pastor better than ones who have only known one pastor.) There seems to exist a stronger leadership in the deacons who have had to run a church by themselves than others who have only served with a constant pastoral leadership. *(generally speaking of course)

Interesting. I would think most would just find another church down the street. Without any kind of promotion, I can't imagine many if any would show up the following year.

Danny J Bixby : Facebook and Twitter are like cocaine

I can get that. Really online in general is like that. The Internet provides people with the ability to converse by simply talking instead of waiting for the other person to finish talking. #subtle movie reference.

Nice post. Unfortunately true when replacing "Ryan" with "Brett"

Mr Shields: no one calls me that : New Kindles are out!

Pretty nice upgrade. I'm still happy with my K2 (especially for its price that I got it for). The button noise quieting might be the one thing I wish I had. I'm happy with the text readability and battery life. Good call on the WiFi vs 3G if you have a 3G phone with Kindle app.

Hey, we just dropped TV as well. My wife and I are still adjusting to this new lifestyle. Last night, Naomi says, "See? Now would be a time where I would just watch TV just to watch TV." Me - "What are you doing instead?" Naomi - "Stuff I need to do" Me - "Nice" Both of us nod our heads and smile.

Shooting the Breeze : What type of leader are you?

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:36:18 +0000

Everyone is a leader in their own right. I strive for servant based leadership, but I know I"m not always 100% on the mark. It helps to stay accountable by realizing that we are leading when we don't even know it sometimes. My recent post Three Blog Page Non-Essentials But Are Still Pretty Cool

Good thoughts, Danny. Now it'll never be able to look at that Catalyst ad again without hearing a booming voice over with lots of echos and explosion noises. :)
