Of course, I think she’s great, but on top of that, she’s got talent. Thanks to a tip from my friend, Mike Davis (http://mikedavis.carbonmade.com), we have a new website to show off Jen’s paintings - http://jentanksley.carbonmade.com. Thanks Mike!
Dear Mr. President…
16 06 2008So, North Point has a series coming up at the end of June/start of July entitled “Letters to the Next President”. You can visit the website here, www.letterstothenextpresident.com, to submit your own letter. It’ll be interesting to see where people go with this. Here was mine by the way - dear-mr-president
I think the thing we are all craving the most is authenticity and someone with convictions who will stick to their guns. I don’t even have to agree all the time. In fact, I won’t. Just have a spine and be a leader. We are long overdue. I definitely think the country is worn ragged from the political machinery of the last several decades. Even with presidential approval ratings in the low 30’s, the ratings for Congress are even worse, in the low 20’s. It’s clear that we’re fed up. What would you advise?

That’s what I’m talking about!
5 06 2008Got an email from my friend David the other day with a link to this video. Now that’s authenticity that people are looking for! Way to go Hillside Christian Church in Amarillo, TX!

God’s favorite sitcom?
3 06 2008Okay, this one’s just for fun. God created joy, laughter and all those good things, so what would you say His favorite would be?
The Office is my current favorite. Seinfeld my all-time favorite, but I imagine Everybody Loves Raymond might be the one that makes Him chuckle the most. Why? It’s all about His favorite thing - relationships (Ray & Debra, his parents, his brother, etc., a veritable cornucopia of dysfunction!)
This could be fun, but it’s not necessarily a fruitless exercise. People identify with the humor in the sitcoms they follow, so it can make for a great avenue to reach them in our communication. Anyway, what’s your vote and why?

Hi, I'm Scott and this is my bio attempt. God has a sense of humor... I work at a church. That's not the path I figured coming out of grad school, but when He called, thankfully I didn't try to win a battle of merits between my plan and His. So, how'd that play out? Well, in 2001 I left commercial real estate and went on staff at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA. This place captured my heart the first time I walked in the doors. God, thanks for letting me do this for as long as you let me do it!
