I NEED YOUR HELP!!

To faithful readers and the just so happeners…I NEED YOUR HELP!!

Alright so here is the deal…
I am looking/going to make a video..a video of great SCARE promotion!! Now, this is where I would love to hear your input! Im not looking for a person to scare right now. No, thats the rather easy part with any good scare tactic. I need a crazily creative, original scare plot to catch on film!! I am bringing this before you, my fellowship of community, to hear what you have floating around in that devious mind of yours. I know that you may not have an entire ’scare plan’ thought out in your head, but that’s totally OK! I want the bits and pieces, I want any and everything you got!! I have some plans/ideas of my own stirring thoughts already, but I cant be selfish..many of your ideas are more than likely greater than my own!! Feel free to comment as you need to, shoot me an email for more detail, contact me on iChat/AIM (info at top right of page)..whatever it is you need to do, by all means..DO IT!! I dont know what I have to offer to the innovator of the ‘great scare plot’ as of yet but I will think of something..your work will not go unrecognized!! Of course, you will get to see the finished product without a doubt no matter if you idea was the winner or not. Anywho, fire away!! Throw yours thoughts/ideas at me.

What you got?!?

MEANING OF EASTER

Easter Sunday was great..crazy busy, but GREAT!! We did our own Easter service for the youth which turned out to be a just as we had envisioned! It was a total ‘upside down’ kinda deal for our youth because we usually tend to leave Sundays mornings more laid back and open for games and fun humor. Took on the more serious, relevant mood for the day. The service went a lil something like this..

– Video : “Meaning of Easter”
– Statistical Slide Show
– Talk by Youth Pastor : “Easter is About Life” (5 mins)
– Video : “Illumination of the Cross”
– Song : “By His Wounds” – Glory Revealed CD
– Talk by Youth Pastor : “What Does Easter Mean to You and Me?” (5 mins)
– Verse Slide Show
– Video : “Sins Covered by the Blood of Jesus”
– Song : “Nothing But the Blood” – Old Hymn Style
– Talk by Youth Pastor : “Intro to Communion” (5 mins)
– Partaking of Communion
– “Fellowship of the Unashamed” Slide Show
– Song : “Resurrection Day” – Original Song

The entire morning’s mood was set by the first video. It is a video conducted by a guy who goes out interviewing people, asking them ‘What is the meaning of Easter?’ and ‘What does it mean to them?’ The video was incredible!! He sparked issues that seemed to be quite obvious and logical to me, but brought light to my eyes to how much the world around us doesn’t know about such days as Easter!! The question, in the end, was left in me. What do I see Easter as?? What does Easter stand for in my life?? How can I take ‘Easter’ into the world around me?? Anywho, I will let you discern that for yourself. Here is the video that reconfigured my thoughts on Easter…

How was your Easter sunday??

A COFFEE HOUSE MORNING

Thought of my morning:

The pace with which you begin the day, is the pace you will maintain throughout the day.

Eknath Easwaran

So this is my 1st morning in my attempt to wake up earlier than normal and set the pace of my day with a lil sermon podcast listening, diving into the Word, and givin’ a shout out to the man Himself (praying). This is all made possible by my sinful love affair, COFFEE, at the moment!! Im hoping that that will change soon and my drive for doing this will become the desire of my heart, although I still do love coffee! I got a cool lil coffee thermos the other day too..he is a great companion! Pics from my morning…

Anywho, this is a journey that I am wanting and needing to take. I have no time in any other part of my, usually 2 am, days, so the morning is my cure!! So this is your cue also as a community!! I need your help to keep myself on track, my accountability group! If you know me, you know that mornings are my dreaded disease. I would love to encourage you to join me too!! Catch me on AIM or iChat.. winst707 ..I would love to chat with you guys just about life and wherever else we may find ourselves. If nothing else, I hope that my mornings (morning posts) can in some way be a great morning starter/thought provoker for you also. Thanks for your support! See ya in the AM!! Holla

MARDI GRAS ‘07

Hey Hey..Happy Mardi Gras ‘07!! Here is a lil peek into my Phat Tuesday from Lafayette, LA…

How did you spend your Phat Tuesday??

UPDATES & MORE

Here are the updates I promised you on the last few posts I had…

Bob Ryan, whom had gotten into a bad car wreck and I had asked you to pray for, has been released from the Baton Rouge hospital as of Sunday. He left with a pretty banged up leg(didnt need to be amputated though) and some cuts, bumps, and bruises. He now has a little road of recovery ahead of him, but looks like he should be back up in a short amount of time. THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND WILLING HEARTS!!!! This is what a community is all about and you all rose to the call!! YOU ALL ROCK!! PRAISE THE KING!!

Also, I am back from Acquire the Fire in Baton Rouge. What an EXCITING, POWERFUL event it was!! Yes, it was a youth retreat, but I was motivated beyond measure by their speakers, dramas, worship, etc.! And I know you are probably thinking, “Oh, he is so going to say, God showed up HUGE,” in which your right because He surely did! It was an eye opener for this generation as much as a worship experience. Here were a few of the people/lineups involved…
Joel Johnson brought the heat (the Word) session after session, challenging youth and adults the same.
Autumn Ashley Band lead worship throughout the event, igniting the passion in every heart through some intense moments of worship. The chic can BLOW!
Concerts by Skillet and GRITS
So yea, there were GREAT moments had at Acquire the Fire ‘07! Soon I will have a lil video up of the entire event so you guys can chk out what went on. I hope you guys had a great weekend like myself and blessings on a better week. Chk ya lata. Out

PLEASE LIFT UP A PRAYER!!!

Hey guys. So this is my call to the community we have established here at Coffee House for the Soul.

This evening there was a pretty severe car accident involving an older/elderly man named Bob Ryan in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. You see, I have grown very close to the Ryan family for the past few years now and have been blessed beyond reason by their faithful companionship to me. His conditions are somewhat still being examined, but as Im told, he has suffered a pretty severe leg injury that requires surgery and possible amputation. He also has been beat up pretty bad throughout the rest of his body. I know this would be something that could be rather hastily recovered from as a healthy, average human being, but he has age and health fighting against him more and more everyday. Im asking you with great appreciation, if you could please lift a prayer for Bob Ryan and the Ryan family in just the uncertainty of this circumstance and healing within his body!! I will inform you with more as I find out more. Yours prayers and consideration shall be the heart and soul of this community during this time! I express my undying gratitude to you guys for your love, thoughts, concerns, and prayers. Live to Love..Love for Life!!
