RANDOM BULLETS:

LifeChurch.tv NW Oklahoma City Campus:

  • The campus overall is beginning to get off the sidelines and get in the game
  • Launching new series this week entitled “HE Will Be Called”
  • My team is freakin’ awesome!  It’s something about using the word freakin’ that’s funny!

Life:

  • My wife works for OK DHS, as a Child Welfare Specialist, ”That’s a rough job”
  • My youngest son Jayden (4) had to dress like his dad today and tell about his dad’s career.   We went over what he was going to say it was something like “My dad is a pastor at LifeChurch next to Incredible Pizza, he preaches God’s word so that people can learn more about God and have Jesus in their heart.”   Ahhhhhhh

    Me! Me! You’re missing me on your list of who has you listed on their blog.

    Man, Scott—I’m learning a lot from these blogs right now—I’m really being challenged – and I LIKE it!

    Hope you get a pic of Jayden—we want to see it!

  • Scott Williams

    Robin- Robin- You are one of the originals, I listed you on the Friday Drive-by in Oct. ;-) Blogs are really good, I like to find those little jewels that no one knows about yet. I just enjoy the wide range of perspectives that blogs present. Thanks Robin!

    Thanks for the shout out!

    I like that quote!

    What are some of your favorite quotes? Ones you created or ones from others doesn’t matter…

    I’m learning from my 7 year old daughter, Zoe Love.
    - She is teaching me:
    a. cookies, kisses and hugs are WAY better than cash.
    b. the Christmas story through a child’s eyes is BEST!
    c. generosity is easy when you don’t value money.
    d. it’s ok to sometimes sleep in and take naps.
    e. miracles are all around us IF we’ll look.
    f. big league chew is the best of all bubble gum.
    g. the Bible is ALIVE — AHHHH, run!!
    h. enjoy ‘kid’s communion’: oreos & ice-cold milk
    i. it really is impossible to count a 7 yr. olds ribs.
    j. dogs make excellent horses for kids.
    k. God made Santa because he loves us!

    a Zoe quote: “sometimes I wonder why people close their eyes to talk to God when He’s standing right there.”

    Hey bro..thanks for givin me some props! I really did appreciate our conversation the other day. Thanks for taking some time to pour into me. You are an incredible leader. I loved what your son said to his class…look at the little man go!!

  • http://www.mytobin.com Rachel

    You forgot me Scott! I’ve had you on my blogroll since I started. You did suggest the “mytobin” you know!? Oh, and I learn a lot from these blogs too, Robin! Scott- I might not comment every day, but I sure read yours every day! Also, I realize now as a mother I learn so much more in my daily bible readings. I guess for one reason, I can apply God’s Word to a new part of life. It’s amazing! No matter how often I read a verse, I can always apply it to my life in a new way now that I’m a mommy. Have a great weekend!

  • Scott Williams

    Anna- I have some good ones, look under quotes on my categories. John maxwell has a leaderhsip book with 90% quotes.
    Chilly- Good stuff! Seven year olds have so much to give, so much to teach us and so much to learn.
    Blake- Thanks bro., I always enjoy talking w/ you. I love my boys and my wife; they are all awesome.
    Rachel- I listed you and Robin back in October, you were one of the originals as well. These are ones since that post. My Tobin is new, so you are officially added.

    Tobin= God is Good!

    1. People miss the word “recently” when they take the topic personally (grin).
    2. “g. the Bible is ALIVE — AHHHH, run!!” Dang it! Why couldn’t I have said that first??
    3. it’s fun to say my myspace space
    4. people care about you whether you want them to or not. Especially you aliens.
    5. If you want to have a spike in Blog hits, include a link to a popular blog that lists linkbacks (grin).

  • Scott Williams

    Jimmy- Thanks for the comment. Any blogs in particular that you link to; to spike your traffic?

  • http://jimmyparavane.wordpress.com/ jimmy paravane

    Scott that was kind of a tongue in cheek remark. I mainly post about local OKC area godblogs, with a few exceptions when I find a post on a blog related to something I want to say. I’ve noticed that when I include links to posts on swerve, here and FlowerDust.net, all of whom do pingback links and have a large number of daily readers, my stats go up. I don’t intentionally include you three just to do that, but I always get a smile on my face when I see the increase in traffic because of it. I’m sure there’s a lot of things I could do to increase traffic if I wanted to do that. I mainly post just to get stuff off my chest without it being a really long post on somebody else’s blog. I use to do those to swerve all the time. I mean really long. some of them were longer than the original post. (grin)

    Sooners look like they’ll win, Pitt just beat West Virgina… which means: ‘The’ OHIO STATE is, again, #1 and will play for a national championship this January!

    Happy for you, and even happier for me! Have a great Sunday, Scott! (that’s when we’re on the same team and guaranteed a win!)

  • Scott Williams

    Jimmy- Thanks for the info. What makes you limit to just OKC area blogs? Anne will be an OKC blog shortly.
    Chilly- Wow the Buckeyes got a second chance, good for them, I like Tressel. Mark May was the only one who thought the Sooners should get a chance to play in the championship. We had our opportunities and blew them. The Fiesta bowl is cool!
