Monday Night List

of random stuff...

• I must be missing out on the social aspect of Twitter. Hmmm.
• I couldn't make it through the Video Music Awards last night. Hurl.
• Dino Rizzo's Healing Place Church needs tarps for the hurricane victims. Catalyst's LV Hanson gives you the skinny.
• Excited to be working with Burnkit on a big project. My dream designers.
• Braces are ripping my mouth up. How do 13 year olds do this!?
• I keep trying to make Catalyst West a secret, but it's out there. You will not believe who we booked for it. April 22-24.
• Writing an article on hologram technology in ministry for COLLIDE mag.
• My 2 year old son's birthday was on Saturday. Just realized... he doesn't have any friends here in Georgia. Sob.
• I'm becoming an amateur historian. I spent Sunday afternoon hiking along the Chattahoochee River looking for an ancient Indian village.
• Just in case you're interested, this blog is called "History in the Making" because my first church plant was called "History Church" not because I think I'm making history. =)
• I'm starting to write book 2 in a trilogy about church planting.
• I live in Suwanee, which was #10 on Money Magazine's top ten places to live in 2007. Not sure why.
• Still haven't met Gabe Lyons.
• Steve Fee is veerry tall.
• My sons Wyatt and Dylan got matching light sabers from their grandmother on Saturday. Two boys, light sabers. What do you think is going to happen? =)

Wondering when your first book will be released...

AHHH...Burnkit. I actually met those Josh Dunford about 10 years ago when Burnkit was still pretty young. They are definitely some amazing designers! I am jealous!

It's called wax, Ben.
Braces+wax = :)

[Ben Arment]

Ariel, you must be a fellow sojourner

[Chris]

"couldn't make it through" implies that you started, which begs the question, why?

I'm not one to shun pop culture, TV, or even award shows. But the VMAs? MTV is irrelevant these days, or so it seems to me.

[Ben Arment]

I think I could say the same for pretty much all television. =) Hey, I'm in the event business. It's called recon. Probably the same reason you look inside a Lexus every now and then as an auto engineer.

Steve Fee is a great guy. I brought him to Columbia, SC a number of years ago to lead worship for a couple of days for this huge missions conference I coordinated. It was awesome getting to know him over the two-day period. This past November I literally ran into him in a mall in Atlanta and we caught up. I haven't heard whose leading worship for Catalyst but I hope he is one of them. :-)

me thinks you should create some sort of contest or scavenger hunt of sorts for the Catalyst West Coast big deal speaker. hide clues on various bloggers sites or clues at Catalyst in ATL. just thinking of some interactive fun. :) winners get Catalyst ATL DVD or CD or something.

Ben, my boy Jacob turned 5 on Sunday. We had a little bash of neighborhood crazies. It was insane! And my boy Drew was 2 a week ago. Maybe next summer we plan a little southern style, ATL flavored b-day party?

wax is what got me through braces; especially at the beginning. Eventually your lips will grow accustomed to the weirdness of having metal on your teeth and toughen up. But...just wait til you get them off-you will never believe how SMOOTH your teeth feel!

-Shawna
2.8 years in braces
10+years of not wearing my retainer. oops.

[Ben Arment]

Shawna, put that retainer on girl!!

Brenton, you've got a deal...

Terrace, Steve is indeed in this year

Daniel, great idea...

[Shawna]

It doesn't even fit anymore! Oh well! ;^)

[Chris]

Point taken re: recon.
