This Sunday I have a very special Throwback Sunday for you. This is by far one of the weirdest/coolest shows I watched in the 80′s. The girl’s dad lived in a weird glass “cube,” and she could freeze time by touching her two fingers together. I never missed an episode though. Anyone else with me on this show?
Check the video for the awesome intro – and check by next Sunday for another Throwback Sunday!
I got to spend a few days hanging out at my good friend, John Saddington’s (aka – @human3rror) house….All I have to say is wow…He does it big….real big….
{check out the video, and you’ll see what I mean….}
I got a chance to {very quickly} double pop one of the members of The Blue Man Group, after one of their shows, while in New York recently. – Check it out
{props to @alliswell for manning the camera!)
I think it’s time I let all the people out there in “internet land” know the real Rick Smith – the one who watched this tv show EVERY SINGLE WEEK – and LOVED IT!
In fact, just finding this intro, and posting it, brought back awesome memories! Anyone else out there with me on this weeks Throwback Sunday?
Ok friends, it’s time for another great installment of Throwback Sunday. I must say this is a real special throwback Sunday for me, because it was after watching this move -
I proclaimed to my mom that if she would just get me The New Power glove for Christmas, “I would never ask for anything ever again!”
I finally got one – a few years after it came out, from the clearance rack at K-Mart. It didn’t take me long to figure out why it was so cheap. BECAUSE IT WAS WACK! I mean really Nintedno – I know it’s been like 20 years, but I still want my money back!
enjoy the video!

On my old blog I used to do a weekly segment called “Throwback Sunday.” The idea was to post something each week that was part of my life growing up in the 80′s and 90′s – the segment was a big hit, and many people enjoyed it! With that said – I am proud to announce a new (but throwback) segment on my site – Throwback Sunday! I hope you enjoy!
To start this new series off, I am going to treat you to what may have been my favorite cartoon growing up – The Gummi Bears!
Anyone else out there with me on this! (check back next Sunday for another “Throwback Sunday!”)
Friends, meet Julia Dales. A 17 year old girl from Canada who is trying to win the World Beatbox Championship on May 28th {aka – beat box battle}.
YOUR MUST SEE THIS VIDEO – One word – LEGIT.
Julia, I wish you well!
I just ran across this crazy cool video of Kris Allen, this year’s winner of American Idol, Singing “God of this City” at the church where he was a worship leader – New Life Church!
Super cool in my book.
We need to pray for Kris, that he would use this new platform he has to bring glory to God, protection for his marriage, and not to get “caught up” in the whirlwind that is about to surround his life.
Also we should give thinks to our great God for what He is doing, and has done in Kris’s life!
{p.s. – if you can’t tell – I’m super glad Kris won! – you can follow Kris on his twitter page!}
I like Tony Steward. A lot. He is one of those rare people that you meet, and from the start you just know that he’s the real deal. And by “real deal” I mean he genuinely loves God and loves people. I like that about him. A lot. He is a thinker. A doer. A good husband. A good dad. A good minister. A good friend. I can’t say enough great things about him – I”m thankful we are friends in “real life,” as well as online. And If we were playing WOW – he would for sure be in my guild! (and if you know what that means your a geek!)
Tony is the online community pastor at LifeChurch, and has LOTS to say about the topic of online ministry. (You will quickly see that he is very passionate about it.) I want to apologize up front for several things about the video you are about to see – 1. The quality – I have no idea what happened, (we were both on good connections) but the quality of this one just isn’t good, so I’m asking you to bare with it.(also, the first few minutes are really broken up – but it gets better, so keep watching. 2. The length – It’s long! I thought about editing it down, but I thought the content was all good, so I just put the entire interview up. (maybe you won’t, but again bare with it!) So sit back, relax, and enjoy a few minutes with Tony Steward!
{p.s. – you can connect with Tony on his blog, or twitter page. Also you can catch “church online” at LifeChurch.tv. – they have church online every night of the week – check out a service sometime, we’d both enjoy hearing your thoughts on it.}
What are your thoughts on online ministry? Online Church? Online community? Or anything else we talked about in this video – leave a comment below – we’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on this great topic!
I’m a big fan of everything that God creates – especially people! (then again I am a bit byist since I am one!) That’s why I can’t even believe that in our country we debate things like this. I mean really, the killing of a person, we really debate if that is right or wrong? Seems like Romans 1 to me, but I digress.
I came across this link a few days ago on desiring God – and I thought it was really good. I’ll be honest, I’m not one of those John Piper weird – o’s (you know the ones – the ones that almost worship him, the ones who treat all of his books like Scripture, the ones who quote John Piper more then they quote Scripture – we all know people like that – that’s not me!) But I think think this content of this video was legit. Well done Mr. Piper.
I had the chance to hang out with The Fee Band backstage at Catylist One Day on Monday, and I must say they are super cool guys!
If you don’t know them, you need to get to know them – now!
I had a chance to DoublePop a few of the guys in the band – so check it out! – Enjoy!
{You can connect with Fee on their site, twitter, MySpace, or iTunes.}
Brad Lomenick describes his role as director of Catalyst as equipping, inspiring, and releasing the next generation of young Christian leaders. Catalyst does this through events, resources, consulting, and connecting leaders. One thing that I really appreciate about Brad is that you will rarely find him on stage at a Catalyst event, because he is working hard behind the scene making sure everyone else is enjoying, worshipping, connecting, growing, and learning.

I was reintroduced to Amena Brown a few weeks ago while searching for a video to supplement a Good Friday message I was giving. {Turns out the first time was at passion event years ago.}
Simply put – she is awesome! Check out the video below, and you’ll see why!
(by the way – you can buy many of her videos for an incredibly cheap price from BlueFish!) – {enjoy}
If you’ve never heard the music of William Branch, aka – The Ambassador – you’re missing out! Him, and his group, The Cross Movement, have ministered to me for almost ten years! (Wow, ten years is a long time!)
William went to the same graduate school that I attend, and is now a pastor in Philly. (Check out this video my school put together.) His music is simply incredible. The lyrics. The content. The “deepness.” The way it honors our Triune God. I can’t tell you how many times I have worshipped (and even been brought to tears) as I have reflected on the content of some of his songs. (here are a few of my favorite song lyrics – When It’s On In The Whirlwind – It Was Love – Oh Wretched Men – The Fall – Off The Hook – What Do You See? – This is only a start – I could list many more!)
Here is a video off one of his newest cd’s. Enjoy.
{p.s. – do yourself a favor and pick up some of their tracks off of itunes today!}
