Check out what other creatives are talking about each Wednesday. I’ve been thinking about this post a long time. It has [...]

Free Mind- Dump It All Out (Repost)
March 26th, 2009
5 Comments
It’s time for Creative fuZion over on Dorothy’s site. I thought I would repost my entry on FREE MIND as it’s a free valuable tool that I use for mind mapping and brain dumping when brainstorming series and issues around the church. I’ve found that I can’t live without it. Sometime in the fall of [...]
WATER COOLER WEDNESDAY–Worship At the Wooden Spoke Ranch
December 17th, 2008
Comments Off
So, when does a church stop being the church? Does it have to exist inside a formal church building? Does it have to meet on Sunday? Those are thought provoking questions? We met last Wednesday night–not at church—at the Wooden Spoke Ranch just north of town. It is a small working ranch with bunks and [...]

December 3rd, 2008

It’s Water Cooler Wednesday where the creatives gather over at Randy Elrod’s site, Ethos to discuss things that creatives discuss. It’s Christmas time and it’s that time of year that we sing a body of songs that only get sung once a year. Most carols have their traditional form that we’ve heard for years. However [...]
Water Cooler Wednesday–Creativity Is Contagious

This post is part of Water Cooler Wednesdays over on Randy Elrod’s site, Ethos. This is Layne Scott–he’s our Student Minister. Layne is a hoot to be around and his style is very laid back. We tease him about the pace of life he leads (very slow and deliberate). However, the other day I caught [...]
Watercooler Wednesday: Visual Faith-Engaging Culture
November 19th, 2008
Comments Off
I’m reading this book and I must admit that it’s going very, very slow. It’s not an easy read as it traces the roots of visual representations of faith from the very beginning of the church. Much of it is historical and a good reminder of just how far things have come; and just how far [...]

This post is part of Watercooler Wednesday’s over on Randy Elrod’s blog, Ethos. On Monday evening I accompanied the local Junior High choir for their Fall concert. Following that the High School choir came out and with it came one of their students–a special needs child in a wheel chair. She was dressed just like [...]
Watercooler Wednesday- A Journey of Design

This post is part of Watercooler Wednesday’s on Randy Elrod’s site, Ethos. It’s where the Creatives and Passionates meet each week to exchange ideas and thoughts on the creative life. Thinking back through the years, I often wonder why I’ve ended up doing what I do. Yes, I’m a product of my environment and upbringing [...]
Watercooler Wednesday- Stage Design In Worship
October 15th, 2008
Comments Off
This post is part of Watercooler Wednesday’s over on Randy Elrod’s blog, Ethos. One of the changes that has come in worship the last 10 years has been the influence of stage design on worship experiences. I can remember going to a Technology For Worship Conference in Dallas about 1998 and just the brink of [...]
Watercooler Wednesday-Practicing Your Craft
October 8th, 2008

I was part of the local theatre production of HANK THE COWDOG this past weekend. We did three performances this weekend and will do another three the next. What I love about being involved with the local theatre company is this:1) I meet artists that I otherwise wouldn’t meet in a normal work week. This [...]
