Simplicity
I’m going to try to get back into blogging again. I’ve decided my main problem in the past, is that blogging was just too complicated. Posts took too long to write, (mostly because they were too long) then I needed … Continue reading

Helping Kids Fall In Love With Jesus
When I was a kid I loved the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis. I still love the books, but when I was young they completely captivated me. Long before I could read on my own, my mom used to read to me. Whenever we would go on long car trips she would choose books to read to my brother, sister and me. (these were the days before in car DVD players) She read all types of books but the Chronicles of Narnia were always my favorite. Continue reading

Need more volunteers?
Everyone who serves in children’s ministry has one thing in common. We need more volunteers. I’ve heard of the elusive “waiting list” to serve in children’s ministry, and I’m sure it exists somewhere, but I’ve never seen it. What I’ve seen more often is that as soon as we enlist more volunteers, God sends more kids. In truth, this is where I want to be, first because it means the kingdom is growing and second because it keeps us looking to God to provide for us. Continue reading

Big News
I have big news I wanted to pass along to everybody. I’m moving on from Brookwood Church. This isn’t a good place to get into all the “what” and “whys,” but if you’re interested you can contact me and I’ll let you know more. I do want to take a minute and say a few things though. Continue reading
Basic Training
Guess what… nedgable (or “nedjible”) isn’t dead. Even though it has been quite a while since I’ve posted a blog. Between Adventure Week and writing our fall curriculum I’ve been pretty busy. I’m still busy but Gina McClain has coaxed me out of hiding. Continue reading

Tweet-ups, 3am web shows and the Orange Conference
Had a great night last night. A lot of that is thanks to a couple young guys that I work with at Brookwood Church, JC and Josh. They’ve been using blogs and social media to connect with people for years. So, after watching them for a couple of months I decided to join twitter about a year ago and I started blogging about 3 months ago. Continue reading

Child Dedications
Last week Kenny Conley wrote a series of posts about Parent/Child Dedications. You should check out what he wrote he’s got some great thoughts.
Here’s part of my response to his post.
First let me say that I have wonderful staff. Patti Jo Mackey and Jenni Bowman are the main reasons our dedications are successful. Here’s what they do. Continue reading
Start Right
So, you’re thinking about starting a blog? Do you know about: hosting, urls, domain names, plugins, permalinks, php, .htaccess, apachee, index.php, seo, site redirects, mod_rewrites, widgets, ftp, chmod or the difference between 0644 and 0777 (besides 133 
) Well, I do, but I’d suggest that you not. Continue reading

The Reinvention of VBS
I was blessed to grow up with VBS and it was always a highlight of my summers. So, about 15 years ago when I began children’s ministry it was a natural part of my ministry plan. Over the years I’ve been a part of some incredible VBS programs. Kids loved coming, they brought their friends and we had a great opportunity to share Jesus with kids in a creative way. But several years ago I began to see a shift. Even though the quality of our VBS program was getting better and better, and kids and parents loved what we were doing, attendance began to drop off.
