Wednesday Morning Run-Down

• Pouring through the 60+ applications to Dream Year this week. Such amazing ideas. Hate that I can only do half.
• Loving the White House Flickr stream
• What would Christians do if Bono ever fell like Tiger?  We'd have to go back to Jesus, I guess.
• Starbucks is doing away with the gold card. What are we die-hards supposed to do now?
• Tony Morgan does an amazing job of honoring his pastor at each church where he serves.
• The first time I hear shameless name-dropping: "oh cool." The second time: "yeah-huh." The third time: "trying a little too hard there." The fourth time: "i'm sad for you."
• I put a deposit on the Sandler Center yesterday. It's been beckoning me ever since we got here.
• Year 2010 is going to be the year of finding partners and teammates. I've been playing "jack-of-all" for 6 months, and it's time to build the team.
• Talked to my friend Jay Hardwick yesterday. That guy has taken the death-blow to his church plant, and he's riding stronger than ever. 
• Spent some time on Harvest Bible Fellowship's site yesterday. Astounded at their process for multiplying churches. Just look at all of these senior pastors.
• Tom's Shoes is really trying to spread this video this Christmas season.
• Chris Stephens just booked Univ of Tenn coach Pat Summitt for his LIT Conference this April 29. The website is launching in January.
• Do you think I would be a more compelling person if I officially called myself Benny or Benjamin?
• I would LOVE to read Benjamin Netanyahu's twitter feed by the way. But I skipped the Hebrew classes in seminary.

Netanyahu's twitter!

Benny will cut some years off your age....Benjamin will add some. Choose wisely!

Love your point about Bono too! Was Bono crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Bono? (Taken from 1 cor 1:13)

[Ben Arment]

well said Ryan. you are wise beyond your years.

and Larry, you just grew in esteem and stature in my sight

[Matt Lewis]

I think you should go the other way with your name...Jamin. Now that's something....maybe something bad.

Hey did I tell you that I saw met Ben Stiller?
Yeah I you know that guy Ben Affleck, he's the man.
I saw Benjamin Button too.

[Matt Lewis]

I guess I can't multi-task. I think I need to focus on just typing. That last post doesn't even make sense half the time.

What would be the "death blow" to the church plant of Jay's?

[bondChristian]

I came down here to post about the Bono line, but it looks like I've been beaten to it. But yeah, I like "Jamin" too.

Jay lost a couple of key team members due to spiritual warfare

[Sherri]

I used to babysit one of the Harvest's senior pastors. Wow, does that make me feel old.

[Ben Arment]
