Passion or something else? You decide.

My friend Pastor Paul Grabill shared this video and I wanted to pass it along. I think this man might need a little help. (The man in the video, not Paul Grabill...lol)

My first reaction upon seeing this video was..."this man may need a little medication to balance him out, bless his heart..." I say that seriously, not making fun of anyone who needs such.

Some call it passionate, but I'm honestly not sure. What do you think?

Although I was not laughing or joking about my thoughts concerning him possibly needing some help, I will admit that I did laugh quite a bit watching this video and have viewed it five times. I play funny video clips for my Sunday School class on the big screen prior to the official start time of class. While they are getting their coffee and settling in before we begin our lesson, I'll often play a favorite Youtube clip I've found that has really hit my funny bone. I showed this yesterday and they almost fell off their chairs they were laughing so hard. The funniest line for me is, "I have a Master's Degree in Communication!!!" I must say, this is the first time I have heard a hell, fire and brimstone stump speech.

By the way he did not get the nomination.

OMW !!! ROTFLMBO !! Give that man a pill, a B vitamin for his nerves, and take away the degree. Had to have been a pay off somewhere! LOL To think of that man in power...even as dog catcher, is very scary! Thanks for a Monday morning laugh! :)

He was on Fox News today, interviewed by Megyn Kelly. I couldn't believe how composed he was!!! The way he articulated himself on Fox today I tell you, he probably could have gotten that nomination. What in the world got into him before he gave that speech? Sheesh!

Relevant Church doing something...
incredibly RELEVANT!

I just heard some news today that really inspired me. A church here in Tampa, Relevant Church is doing a new thing this month called the "30 Days Sex Challenge." (I've never visited the church but Pastor Trinity - our children's pastor - has visited or has met some people from this church and he was very impressed.) Realizing that this is a major element missing from some marriages (the frequency factor) their lead pastor, Paul Wirth, has issued a challenge for all the married couples to have sex for 30 days in a row. At the same time he has issued a challenge for all unmarrieds to completely abstain from sex. Of course we know the Bible says that those who are unmarried should not have sex in the first place but the point is, a lot of unmarried's aren't obeying the Lord's command to abstain and this is just one pastor's way of trying to get them to see that indeed, there is a better way! (God's way!) At the same time, many married couples are no

This Could Have Ruined Everything... (But It Didn't!)

No one would ever guess what happened to me this weekend in Jacksonville, Florida...so I'm going to tell you. :) As I was preaching at the Fearless Tour at New Hope Assembly of God this weekend, I got choked up, literally. For probably 2-3 minutes I coughed profusely and greatly struggled. Then I drank some water and kept preaching. Everyone was gracious to give me a few moments to get my bearings. If you were there, you'll remember it! What no one realized at the time was that I swallowed a bug that flew right in while I was preaching! So disgusting! I said nothing because I was at a point in the sermon where I was really connecting and I knew if I said, "I swallowed a bug," everyone would either laugh profusely or be really concerned, or start feeling sorry for me. And at that point whey wouldn't be thinking about the message anymore, but the fact that I had just swallowed a bug. They would then imagine what it would be like, and feel grossed out which

Why You Should Never Hijack a Comment Thread
Social media etiquette 101

One surefire way to kill your influence in social media and wear out your welcome fast is to become involved in derailing somebody’s comment thread with your own agenda. Networking and hijacking aren’t the same thing. It’s surprising how many people don’t understand that this is a guarantee for tearing down a platform as quickly as you build it. Passion is good, even necessary. I appreciate people's zeal for their personal core values. What is not appreciated is the attempt at a redirection of a comment thread when the comment has little or nothing to do with an original post or is twisted at best. Social media provides ample opportunity for all of us to share what’s important to us on our own platform. Eliciting others’ responses and developing connections largely depends on our ability to communicate and compel. Some people are open to receiving private communication from others although they aren’t always able to answer personally or at length. But hijacking a comment threa
