I just thought this was funny. Here is the statue of Micky Mantle, he is from Oklahoma.
Here is Micky Mantle stepping on my head.
This was posted on Craig Groeschel's Blog not too long ago. Over the past few months I have been asking myself these questions and it is really tough. I'm not going to tell you my answers, but ask yourself these questions. WARNING. It might change some things for you.
1. If you weren’t on staff at your church, would you worship there?
Tonight is the night. This is my favorite game of all time going back to the Sega Genesis with Bill Walsh's college football.
If you remember this game I want your comments on who your favorite team was and players. I really wish I could afford to buy it for the PS3, but it's like 80 bucks. Oh well. Just thought I would share some college football goodness. The season is only like 45 days away.
Blogging from Dashboard.
I am writing this blog from dashboard on my mac just to see how it works and if it is easier or faster. I don't prefer it nor do I reccomend using it all the time.SNYDERThis is a video we did for Wildside. Man I miss those guys. Enjoy!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjp3P4vEsHs]SNYDERWe just had this discussion in our office this morning. I say you have to meet people where they are at. The internet is the place to be. With Facebook, Myspace and other places like it you have to find a way to reach people over these mediums. A new one is Second Life. I do not know much about it, but I do know that Lifechurch.tv has started a campus in Second Life. I love the idea. People who do not go to church can go now in their home while on the internet. Now I know a lot of people will say, well this isn't church. I kind of agree. I believe church is what happens outside of Sunday morning. Sunday service is an event where, yes, you will get fed. you will get to worship, but it is an event with teaching the Word and worship through music. What you do the rest of the week with your small group, out in the community and with other believers is church. Now, my hope is that these people who are going to church on Second Life will take it further and start doing things outside of second life in their community with other believers. I love the idea and can't wait to see what is next. I believe, as a youth pastor, I have to find ways to meet students where they are at. and the students I know spend a lot of time on the internet. The question now is how do we tap in to this medium and reach students who may or may not come to your weekly experience. How do we get them involved? If you know of a church who is using the internet in a mighty way to reach youth please let me know. I really hope this made sense.
SNYDERThe 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays for many reasons. As a kid we would go to our land in Guthrie, OK and set off fireworks. I haven't set off fireworks in a long time. I have always gone to the 4th of July parade in Edmond, OK when I was in town or not working. Edmond has one of the top 10 4th of July celebrations in the country. But one main reason I love the 4th is the freedom that we were given. What an incredible nation to live in. We can worship whoever we want when ever we want. I think this is one of the major problems with other countries. They tell you who you can worship and can't. I personally choose to worship Jesus Christ. I choose to celebrate the freedom I have in Jesus on the 4th and every other day of the year. What or who are you going to celebrate this year?
SNYDERI am so excited and sad today. I am so excitied the iPhone comes out. I want one so bad. The reason I am sad is because I can't afford to get one. I am a huge mac fan, and I know the iPhone will be huge. If you would like to doante money to the "iPhone for Snyder fund" please don't hesitate. Just cal me or e-mail me and let me know how much you would like to donate. Thanks.
SNYDERThis is one reason I love Oklahoma and Jon Stewart. This is hilarious.
