CPC Orlando – Day #1 – Introducing the "Pastor Karl Awards"

As DAY #1 of CPC Orlando comes to a close, I’d like to give out a few impromptu awards here on kidologist.com

BEST CHILDREN’S
PASTOR T-SHIRT:

WINNER: Scott Philips
Kidology member and contributor to the site.

BEST PARENTS @ CPC! (?)

WINNER: Rob and Kathleen Biagi
( www.robbiagi.com )

Notice the baby sleeping next to the doll in the suitcase!
I hope they poked some holes in it for the flight to Orlando!


MOST LIKELY TO GET ARRESTED:


WINNERS: These Kidology fans showed up with a marshmellow gun and proudly showed the ticket Epcot security gave them…. for ‘having too much fun.’


COOLEST BOOTH GAME:


WINNER: Nitro Kids Show!
( www.nkshow.com )


This is a great concept, basketball on the head. I have an inflatable version, but this is cool – helmet and goggles! It is easy to see who is ‘a head’ in this game! But heads are gonna roll if it goes bad! Talk about losing your head in a situation! Ok, enough puns, time to move ahead…

BEST DRESSED:


WINNER: Lisa Welchelor….

MOST LIKELY TO WEAR
THE SAME OUTFIT
AS THE LAST CPC:


WINNER: Lisa Welchel AND Karl Bastian.


Yes, this picture is from my meeting Lisa Welchel on January 5th at CPC Aneheim. After telling someone my fun childhood story about Lisa, they asked if I was going to wait in line to get another picture with her at this CPC. I said ‘not unless she is wearing the same outfit as in California.’ Later today, when showing last CPC’s post to someone else they commented, ‘She is wearing the same outfit.’ I laughed and said it must be her favorite speaking outfit. Then they noticed that I TOO was wearing the same shirt! So, I definately had to go get another picture with her. I gave her my blog, so if she actually reads this (Lisa, if you do, leave a comment below!), then I bet she’ll wear something else for CPC Kansas City, BUT it is a nice outfit, so I hope she wears the same thing again, and I will too, and I’ll go for picture number three with the same outfits!

COOLEST KIDOLOGY FAN!


WINNER: Cathy Burson made my day by stopping me to thank me for Kidology. As I have said before, (in the same post about Lisa), meeting real people in the trenches of ministry to kids who have found Kidology a big help is always the highlight of CPC for me. I love to meet in person those who benefit from Kidology throughout the year. Please never hesitate to stop me and introduce yourself! I may be the guy with the website, but YOU as just as important week in and week out ministering to kids, and I love the opportunity to meet you and say THANKS for your support and for all you do to reach and teach kids for Jesus!

WHO WILL WIN A
“PASTOR KARL AWARD”
TOMORROW?
You’ll just have to come back and find out!

OFFICIAL BLOGGER RANT: I’ve wasted over an hour trying to get blogger to accept it’s own formatting. It keeps saying I have invalid code and changing the formatting. I even redid the entire post from scratch. (those of you who got the email version twice, that’s why) For the record, the AWARDS are supposed to all be in all red and extra large, and the winners names in blue and larger. The perfectionist in me hates that the formatting for this post is not consistant, but it is bloggers stupid fault. I even lowered myself to try it again on a PC! (so its not a Mac issue!!) While I’m sure no one else cares or noticed, I had to post that the formatting errors are blogger not accepting its own code!

Self-Control Is Leadership Strength

One of the clearest signs of spiritual maturity in leadership is self-control. Not charisma. Not talent. Not platform size. Self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 reminds us…

If You Love
Jesus and Kids...
You Belong Here!

“I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.”
