Communications & Evangelism Coordinator Kevin Sparkman added a new blog “Tweety Birds” on his blog site K-Blog II.
PREVIEW: I have to admit – I just realized what the term “micro blogging” means. I have been Twittering for quite some time now, all the while not realizing that I was micro blogging. I love it. In fact, I think I am addicted to it! I have found myself sending Twitter updates via my cell phone while driving. In fact, it seems that I prefer to Twitter & text while driving! That is, however, another topic for another time (hopefully I won’t be writing that blog from a hospital bed).
I’ve even gone so far as to incorporate Ping.fm to update all of my “sites” (or “ping” them) with my micro blogging all at once. Apparently I’m too busy to update each once. I am.
The subject of Twittering came up Sunday at church when… Read More

Communications & Evangelism Coordinator Kevin Sparkman added a new blog “Aerosmith & Jesus, it’s ‘Amazin’” on his blog site K-Blog II.
PREVIEW: This is not in any way meant to be a commercial, but rather a blog about a commercial. If you live in the Nashville area and listen to one of the sports radio stations on the air (personally I bounce around based on the content) you have no doubt heard commercials for an upcoming telethon for the Nashville Rescue Mission.
Have you really listened to these commercials closely? I have yet to hear any of them not using a mainstream soundtrack featured somewhere in the ad. Of the 4-5 times I have heard these ad’s I honestly can’t tell you which songs were used, but I knew of them at the time they sounded over my car radio. However, as I drove into town today a 5-minute spot came on between segments that was very memorable… Read More

Communications & Evangelism Coordinator Kevin Sparkman added a new blog “Word for the Day: chair” on his blog site K-Blog II.
PREVIEW: The one who has motivated me to get back into regular blogging, Stephen Handy, is out of town on business this week. His energy is infectious to say the least – so there’s no doubt that I have already missed his presence. Also, we normally meet on Tuesday afternoons to have strategic sessions for McKendree – or “Mac-K’s” as he calls it (get used to it, folks!).
So today I choose to blog about a chair… Read More

Communications & Evangelism Coordinator Kevin Sparkman added a new blog “…with hands raised” on his blog site K-Blog II.
PREVIEW: I was born into and was a member of a very conservative Southern Baptist church in rural Central Florida until I was 20. It was the biggest church in the city and is still growing to this day. Some time when I was in senior high school a new family (from California, I think ?) joined the church.
They were not like us. They wore shorts and t-shirts on Sunday morning. They smiled all of the time. Their hair was not perfect – in fact far from it. Okay, honestly, the father came to church looking like he just rolled out of bed! And they…raised their hands during worship! Emphatically!
I probably don’t need to point out that they were the only ones raising their hands in church… Read More

Communications & Evangelism Coordinator Kevin Sparkman added a new blog “New To This” on his blog site K-Blog II.
PREVIEW: Used to the internet. Used to writing. Relatively used to blogging. Journaling is nothing new…
But right now I’m asking myself…are you new to being a part of a staff change at a church? – CHECK. Are you new to being completely open and reliant on the Holy Spirit for everything in your life? – CHECK. Are you inexperienced as a church staffer and pretty much have no clue what to do or even what’s going on at times? – CHECK!
…are you excited about what God has in store for your ministry and what He has called you to do in conjunction with one of the oldest Methodist churches in the Southeast? – CHECK!!
It is an exciting time to be in downtown Nashville… Read more
