A few months ago I did a post on running your membership data through a local sex offender database. We’ll here’s your quarterly reminder to re-run your database. Think you don’t need to run it that often? Perhaps the fact that we found two new matches in our database since we last ran ours will change your mind. Once you get the process down it should take you less than an hour to complete the process. A small price for protecting the children in your ministry.

My youngest just turned 6. Here’s a little glimpse of his personality. And no I didn’t teach him this… I have no idea where he learned it…

Our senior pastor, Don Wilson, was recently interviewed for the Catalyst Blog. If you want to know more about the ministry of CCV check out this two part series.

Do you ever hear a quote that punches you in the gut? Lately, I’ve literally been stalked by a thought; reading it in numerous places. It goes something like (sorry I don’t remember it exactly… this dispite reading it in several places…)

We all have the same number of hours in a day Einstein, Mother Theresa, etc.. had.

We often look to our heros and forget they managed their success in the same number of hours we have each day. Sure some of them had gifts we don’t, but their ability to focus on doing the right things is where their success stemmed from (in fact, studies show that there is little correlation between intelligence and success.) Planning our time and limiting our focus is probably the most important key to success.

Update: Found the exact quote from Zing

“”Don’t say that you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Hellen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr. – pg. 113
