Coming up on October 4th we are having a HUGE baptism. It is going to be awesome. We have asked our people to join in the parking lot for some tailgating before we get the baptism rolling and if last year is an indication….DANG….it will be AWESOME!!! Last week we had over 400 people sign up for the baptism and we are expecting more to come in the very near future.

If you want more information on baptism, go to this link or if you know that you need to be baptized, go to this link and sign-up today!! We would love to have you join us.

So bring out the RV’s, tents, frisbees, grills, footballs, golf carts, and all the food you can. Tailgating will begin at 3PM and Baptism at 5PM!!! Don’t miss it!

There is a guy over in Greenville that is doing some awesome stuff with our students! Do yourself a favor and stop by the Internet home of Davey Blackburn, Student Pastor at NewSpring Greenville. You will be abel to get an inside look at all they are doing to reach students for Jesus in the Greenville area. I am very excited about some of the things that they are trying! I look forward to seeing how it all plays out! Also here is a post that Tony Morgan wrote about what we are trying in Greenville>

Keep up the great work Davey!!!

I watched the full two hours of the Saddleback Civil Forum and honestly, I was impressed.  I saw some things that I liked in both candidates and I saw some things that I didn’t like.  I appreciate the courage of Rick Warren to host the forum.  He asked some really GREAT questi0ns.  I loved the format of the forum…one candidate at a time, same host, same environment, same questions, etc.

I enjoyed Rick’s closing lines that he made…”I just want to remind you that one of the greatest freedoms we have here in America is the freedom of speech, even the freedom to protest this meeting. That’s a good thing, but we have to learn how to have civility in our civilization. How to stop being rude, how to stop demonizing each other, how to have a discussion and a debate because we all want America  to be a greater place. God Bless!”

Do yourself a favor and take the time to watch it or you can get the transcript of the forum here.

Arguably, the greatest sports show on the air waves has taken to internet. Sportscenter took to the airwaves in September of 1979, they are now on the internet in the year 2008. Check it out for yourself. It allows to to see the bios of the anchors, know which anchors are hosting the shows and the topics covered. Also you can watch a lot of the commercials that they have aired, which is GREAT! They also have a clip of the ORIGINAL broadcast of ESPN Sportscenter!

I do wonder why now? Will people really traffic over to this site other than ESPN.com? Not sure we shall see!

Just announced by Sharp that in September you will be able to buy the TV below!

What is so special about this TV, well it is a 108 inch LCD beast!!! Check out the story at this link! Sharp hasn’t released a price, but with using a handy Japanese currency conversion calculator the estimated cost would be $100,000!

DANG!!!!
