Knight Night at Awana

Last Tuesday was Royalty Knight, er, Night, at our Awana club! I had fun dressing as Sir. Drinkdewalot. (second counsin to Sir Lancelot, who I explained was a wimp) I told my story “The Day the King Unlocked the Gate” to each club (to be posted with book and powerpoint later on Kidology – too busy today) – and then Knighted the clubbers as Jr. Knights to go into all the world telling others about the King of Kings, King Jesus. I thought I might take home a new maiden as a wife, so I proposed…but when she refused…. I showed how knights got wives in the olden’ days. :) Pick one and take her home! :) (Fear not, the fair maiden escaped!) It was a fun evening, or should I say, it was a Royal Blast!

HAY! that was fun!

As discussed on Kidology this summer, this fall I have started a ministry experiment in ‘partnering with parents’ – by forming an ‘opt-in’ ministry at church called VIP, which stands for Very Intentional Parenting – based on the concept that for genuine ‘partnering’ with parents, the children’s pastor and parents much first come an agreement on what ‘partnering’ looks likes and means, and then start doing it. Without going into all that here (you can read the link above), I wanted to post some pictures and info about our first VIP Ministry event this past Sunday – we got rained out the week before, but had a fantastic time! Much of this is a ‘reprint’ of what I posted on the ‘top secret’ VIP Blog available only to my VIP Families – it is where we post VIP ministry info and parenting tips, and other info just for these partnering families. Our first VIP Family Event was a HUGE success! Maybe one week late due to rain, but this past Sunday was perfect weather and we had a wonderful time! We had 59 people at this event! Everyone had a great time playing, visiting, eating, hay-riding, singing, laughing, and enjoying…

PastorKarl.com NEW header!

If you only read my posts via e-mail, you have GOT to visit PastorKarl.com and check out the new header! I also wanted to let you know it was there, because you might need to refresh or clear your cache to get it to appear… but it is way cool! I LOVED what our Kidology graphic designer did for my sabbatical, (Corey at Birkey.com), so I had him keep the ‘Karl in the PK Cruiser with Darth’s cape flowing’ but had him add some of the places I am usually driving to and from. It looks really awesome! I think people will get a kick out of it! Let me know what you think in Comments! What would you have yourself drivin’ by?? I should get some advertising money from these places!

A Day Away in Paradise…

Yes, it was a beautiful day in Paradise…. on Anna Maria Island, Florida. (see our exact spot) I was doing a Kidology To Go seminar last Saturday at Palma Sola Baptist Church, but since my awesome senior pastor encourages his staff to take a ‘day away’ monthly for prayer/planning/refreshing, I decided to use my weekly day off for travel, and take my ‘day away’ on Friday in Florida. I also surprised Sara by taking her along and our host found us a delightful place to stay right by the beach. The cost was VERY affordable, and was a really nice condo-style villa. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you give this Christian couple your business if you want a beautiful get away in Florida! Their website is islandgardenvillas.com Beautiful villas and a hot tub with 62 jets!! Wowie! As usual, I love the outdoors, and love my casual hobby of photography. Here are a few of my attempts to capture the beauty of God’s Creation in Florida. By popular demand, here are two wallpapers so you can feel like you were there! (Choose from BLUEPALMS or REDPALMS) The trip started out lookin’ good when my airplane boarding pass informed me that I…

Dew from Heaven!

Due to a bunch of technical jargon I won’t bore you with (too late) I was unable to ‘blog’ for over a week! ahhhhhh! I know you’ve been checking every day. Wasn’t it St. Augustine who said that everyone is born with a Karl’s Blog Shaped Void? Anyway, here are a few of the things I wanted to post… the rest I’ll skip now and you can just wonder the rest of your life! This photo above is going in my collection right next to my photo of Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster. I caught a picture of my youth pastor sitting at my office Mac. (notice the beautiful 21 inch screen with a Mac mini!) I actually left my office for an appointment and trusted him to stay and play on it. Since the only way a Mac can get a virus is for someone to be sitting at it and manually install it, this was a great demonstration of trust. Despite how stable Macs are, he did manage to get some error messages to appear, which he gleefully documented with screen shots, including the following: Message my PC loving youth pastor supposedly saw on my Mac’s…
