#2: Be A Life-Giver
Bring life to your home! Be positive and encouraging.YOU be the one to create the fun memories. Be joyful. Be a servant. Have a great attitude. We have every reason to be excited about life. Don’t wait around for someone else to get in a good mood.

REMINDER TO DADS & HUSBANDS: This should be your job! You are the leader of your home!

  • If you are stuck at Aunt Becky’s and bored out of your mind then do something crazy. Get the karaoke machine out.
  • If you are on a boring road trip then pop in the Bohemian Rhapsody and belt it out in the highest note you can find.
  • Figure out games to play. Games that will get everyone interacting and having fun.
  • Laugh at Uncle Eddie. He’ll never know.

Watch your words as well. Don’t be critical. Sure we can think of 10 things that someone else should be. But what about the other 10 things that are valuable about them.
Let’s be people that bring life to others. Not death!

Shalom In The Home: Restore Any Broken Relationships

A couple of weeks ago I spoke a message to our college students called “Shalom in the Home.” I coached them on how to go back home and have peace in their families. Shalom is the Hebrew word for peace. My encouragement to them was to be leaders, examples, and proactive members of their family.

So over the next few days I’m passing some ideas on to you in case you need some extra peace in your home and you tend to wait around for the magic peace fairy to wave it’s wand. :-)

1. Restore Any Broken Relationships

During times with family there can be a lot of hostility. There can be some weirdness. Is there any relationship in your life that is strained? Weird? Awkward? Because our lack of communication and confrontation in relationships is destroying families, marriages, and friendships.

There doesn’t have to be anything bad wrong for a relationship to be messed up.

  • It could be a lack of approval from a dad.
  • An unsupportive mother.
  • A jealous brother.
  • An old girlfriend or boyfriend with no closure.
  • A member of the family could have hurt you and you are holding on to it.

Romans 12:18 “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

Have the tough conversation. You’ll feel better when you do.

  • We had a great staff retreat in Hot Springs with all of the NLC pastors. It was a great time to getaway and hang out, share vision of 2010, drink coffee, play games, bowling, and play football on concrete (don’t ask).
  • I’ve been Mr. Mom this week. Ashley has a pinched nerve in her neck. She could barely move. Poor girl. She’s feeling better and hopefully will be fully recovered by the end of the weekend.
  • Our last Elevation service of 2010 is this Sunday night. The semester has FLOWN by! Can’t believe it.
  • Oh yea, and I’m going to this tonight:

Today Not Tomorrow

I’ve been thinking about a little concept called living for today. Not tomorrow.

Paul told the church at Corinth “Today is the day of salvation.” II Corinthians 6:2

The psalmist says “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Matthew 6:34

Sometimes I carry too much weight and pressure in my mind and subconscious about the future. I worry about tomorrow. I dwell on the unknowns. I am a planner. I am a control freak. I am a perfectionist.

But it’s really all about TODAY. God made this day good.

And it’s all about HIM. And what He’s already done and what He’s already made good.

This is one of my “tweets” from today:

“Live  for Christ TODAY because TODAY turns into TOMORROW and TOMORROW turns into the NEXT DAY. Live one day at a time!”

This has nothing to do with learning, serving, or leading but I love Steve Carell. Although I’m sure we could all learn a little bit about not taking life too seriously. Enjoy.

We took a little time to get away to a lake house in Heber Springs, Arkansas with our best friends Brandon & Rebecca Shatswell. They are the worship pastors at NLC. Just a little time to rest & also work a little bit away from home.We are having a great time hanging out, clearing our brains, squirrel watching, scrabble playing, & letting lil Mac cover himself in leaves & throw hundred of rocks in the lake.
