Just read a great article about Denny’s and their quest for “taking back share” by giving away Grand Slam breakfasts the other week. I also read a great question about wondering what would happen if churches did the same thing?!

We’re in a recession. Times are tough for most families. People will continue to look for “free” or “cheaper” alternatives. I think the church needs to embrace this truth and provide answers!

Our church has already responded somewhat with our twice-a-month Family Nights. Family Night provides 2-hours of FREE entertainment! It’s a great opportunity to get out and get active by playing sports together as a family and/or fellowshipping while others play sports!

Another opportunity on my radar – Angel Food Ministries. I wonder what kind of response our church would have to this kind of ministry?

We had an ultrasound this morning and found out the gender of our next child!

We expect Ezra Paul Sheets to enter this world sometime around June 4th!

Ever looked up something on YouTube only to be bombarded with adult-oriented search-results? Can you imagine searching for something for your child to watch on YouTube and accidentally show them something that would make a sailor blush?

Don’t let it happen to you!

A gentleman from Canada has created the site, “totlol.com” with the purpose of filtering out the “junk” on YouTube and leaving the kid-friendly stuff!



From the website:

Totlol is a community-moderated video website designed for kids.

Totlol is an independent website developed by Ron, father of two from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is powered by YouTube using the YouTube API.
