All 10 half-pages of this “Century Gothic, 10-pt” sermon are finally in a form of completion I only THOUGHT they could find themselves in at this stage!

Entitled, “DARE YOU TO MOVE”, this sermon will be delivered to the kind folks at Warsaw Wesleyan this weekend in two back-to-back services at 9:15AM and 10:45AM.

Being a full-time Youth Pastor, it isn’t often that I get the chance to bring the main message to the entire body on a Sunday morning, so this is once again, quite an honor – and probably only the 10th-or-so time in 3-years that I’ve preached in the Sunday morning services.

We will be studying the Hebrews 12:1-3 “race” metaphor and three main points will be delivered via mouth, and via the wonderful projector and PowerPoint. This is my first sermon to include the “visual”/PowerPoint aspect of learning. I’m not exactly sure why I chose the “visual” for this sermon and not any of my previous ones…

a small sample of what is to come

Dearest Mother (and others who complain of the small font size chosen by my design-savvy-wannabe-self),

Please, if you have a PC and a mouse with the “scroller wheel” follow these instructions to make this site (and any other, as a matter fact) have a BIGGER font for your weary eyes:

#1. Find the CTRL key on your keyboard (note: you MUST have a keyboard for this to work)
#2. Push the CTRL key on your keyboard (same note applies)
#3. Scroll the “scroller wheel” on your mouse up/down to suit your fancy.
#4. You’re welcome.

As you can see by the webcam image to your right, I am back in the office this morning, working on a range of things that must be completed by the weekend.

As I got on the web and surfed over to stevansheets.com to check the comments, I noticed this sweet new look to the site – I’m pretty impressed that it looks this good even after a good 8-hours of sleep!

Tomorrow I head to Ft. Wayne in the afternoon for Promise Keepers. I will pick up a saint of the church – Bill England tomorrow and we’ll enjoy the drive together and the “saving of seats” for others who won’t be able to leave until later! My buddy Kirkage, Chad Stiver, and some other guys will also be joining us after they are able to get there! I haven’t been to a Promise Keepers conference since I was in High School!

Couldn’t sleep tonight after theBOX even though I know I must get up and get into the office tomorrow – even on my day off to finish working on my Graduation Sunday sermon for this weekend!

Because I couldn’t sleep, I decided to work on a “face-lift” for stevansheets.com – what you see now is the culmination of much web-surfing, much code-reading, and many Oreo cookies. I really like the “clean-look” of this modified template. It will probably undergo some minor changes over the next couple of days, but this will be the main look for a while! Expect the header image to change as often as I take some great digital photos…

Do you like the look?

I just jumped on stevansheets.com and this is the webcam image that was currently loaded:

Nice, huh? The office webcam takes a picture every 10-minutes (or whenever I see myself picking my nose – I take another one!) and it was funny to see myself caught in this “relaxation” pose.

Oddly, I couldn’t remember having my hands behind my head like this as I have been intently working on “cleaning up” my iTunes music library!

Seeing myself in this pose inspired a webcam relocation – the old view was getting boring!
