Sometimes a creative spark hits and- this is the result.
God made His people creative and imaginative.
What was the last thing you dreamed/created?

These Hard Times. A Story.

Jason — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:42:35 +0000

Have you ever had difficult times in life?
Ever wondered why God would allow you to enter into a rough patch?
Many times, we are able to reflect and understand it- when we’re on the other side. The song is “These Hard Times” by Needtobreathe, off their album “The Outsiders.”

These Hard Times. A Story. from Forefront Church on Vimeo.

The Rundown From Sunday

Jason — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:01:59 +0000

Met 4 new girls who are in the Navy. Two started coming a little while ago and yesterday they brought two friends with them. They all want to get in a Gel Group.
A couple from Forefront brought three neighbors and their families yesterday. Met & talked with them, they loved it.
The band yesterday really led us towards God yesterday. Loved when they played “Amazing, Because It Is.” Awesome.
Wrapped up the “Game Time” series. I’m not always sure how series will hit with the congregation. This one worked. People were engaged the entire four weeks.
“Why do I worry about series impact? God’s got it under control. Stop it Jason.” (voices in my head)
I’ve seen a surprising influx of people who left Forefront- returning. It’s funny how God works.
Loved spending time with the girls after church. They are so happy.
Speaking of the girls, it takes 30-45 extra minutes to go anywhere. Gonna have to start running “Get in and out of house drills”
Aidnow.org Benefit got a bunch of sign-ups. It’s this Friday. Be there!

Random Stuff

I read a great article in Collide Magazine on Weapons of Choice. Things pastors/leaders use in the daily grind.
Riding my bike is a beautiful thing. Losing weight and feeling good.
Working on a project for Forefront that makes my brain hurt, but in a good way.
I’m aiming at transforming Chloe’s room into a little pink rockstar room with a stage & lights- sometime in the Fall. It’s going to be epic. She loves music.

Daddy/Daughters Day

Jason — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:51:58 +0000

Friday is my day off.
During the school year, while Carrie worked, I’d spend time with Chloe.
Well, it’s summer and we have a new addition to the family.
So, for the next few weeks- it’s “FAMILY FRIDAYS!!!” (as Chloe would say).
Being a dad is the best.

Just curious… What do you do when you get family time?

Hide It Under A Bush, Oh No…

I’m gonna let it shine!
I totally remember singing this song as a child. I loved to sing.
Our Sunday School teachers sang it with us almost every week.
I agree we’re supposed to be a light, but let’s think about that second verse for a moment…

“Hide it under a bush, Oh No! I’m gonna let it shine!”

Now, I’m no rocket scientist, but even I know hiding a fire under a bush won’t put out the flame. You’ll just have a BIG FIERY SHRUB and probably catch your clothes on fire. Look out lil’ children! And while we’re on the subject of open flames, “Who encouraged these children to play with fire?!?” Fire Marshall Bill would not approve.
