triathlon tuesday

If you’ve talked to me and my wife in the last few months, we’ve probably mentioned how we’re “addicted to triathlon.”  Initially, that sounds a little ridiculous.  Who in their right mind would be addicted to putting their body through that kind of physical intensity?  How can you be addicted to something that is hard, [...]

community paradox

Disclaimer:  I’m not sure I’m going to use “paradox” in the right context, but it sure sounds intelligent.
We’re in the process at C3 of launching our fall community groups.  As we’ve transitioned, we developed a time table of ministries and programs that would receive our attention and focus, and community groups is next.   We’re using [...]

For those still holding out hope that I’ll blog more consistently, I’ve set a weekly goal of 4 posts.  (I’m taking it one week at a time, since my recent history has been less than stellar.)  Also, last week’s SNR was skipped because Amanda and I “skipped” church for a cruise, so the post would [...]

A record that I still break out from time to time is Best of The Police.   Sting could bring it – their music had a unique sound and throught-provoking lyrics.  So…I was pretty pumped when we broke out “Every Step You Take” this morning for Bodacious 80’s – even if Angie thought the lyrics were ”stalker-like.”
Byron discussed [...]

triathlon tuesday

I finished…
Last weekend the date finally came – and I’m glad to say it’s now over.   After over 3 months of training, a lot of excitement and anxiety, I was able to cross the finish line.  Here’s a little recap of the experience:

Waking up at 5am wasn’t cool – but no worries, I put enought [...]

it’s friday, i’m in love…

with innovative businesses.  When it comes to the word innovation, we tend to immediately think in terms of technology, but innovation is more about thinking outside the box.
If you’re not familiar with TOMS Shoes, below is an interview with its founder, Blake Mycoskie.  For every pair of shoes they sell, they give a pair to [...]

triathlon tuesday

When I decided to start training for a triathlon, I emailed one of my buddies who has completed a few ironman races.  I asked him what’s the one thing that has helped him improve, to take it to the next level.  I’ll never forget his response – “I had to learn to manage the pain.”  WHAT?  My [...]

Here are a few thoughts from our Sunday morning at C3:

First time we had to navigate the summer movie schedule, which included 10am movies and req’d us to move a few theaters around.
Heard we had quite a few people ask about the church on their way to Iron Man.
Record tear-down time today – way to [...]

car cents (part 3)

BUY vs. LEASE
What came first, the chicken or the egg?  Is there life on Mars?  Should you buy or lease?
Just as in yesterday’s discussion on used vs. new, I don’t believe there’s a clear cut answer – it truly depends on your situation and what you value.  But it is important to understand a few [...]

The morning after UFC 82, we continued the C3 version of UFC.  This series has really hit home for many as we discuss the challenges in family relationships.  This morning Byron hit on the one “move” that can radically change the way we approach these relationships – FORGIVENESS.  Here are a few notes from today:
