Where We Work

// March 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Business, Career, Christianity, Family, Management

I recently launched a new business venture at RedReynolds.com wherein I spend 25% of my time building websites for small-businesses and individuals, 25% of my time consulting with startup companies on Information Technology, Web, and Software strategy, and 50% of my time developing my own products and services to sell on the internet. What an adventure! One reflection I have had is on the fact that where we work becomes wrapped in with our identities really quickly.

Psalms 23 House

I wasn’t involved with the Psalms 23 House myself, but my church was one of the collaborators in the project indirectly through Urban Youth Impact. Watch this video to see a homegrown “Extreme Home Makeover”. Much of what is interesting is toward the end, so check it out.

Yes Lord

In church service this morning and Dr. John C. Maxwell is speaking. Profound summary in three words:

“Yes Lord” works! – John C. Maxwell

Are We Generous?

// September 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // Christianity, Family Values, Ministry, Parenting, Personal, Theology

Today at the church where I work we brought in some folks from the National Christian Foundation to discuss the topic of Generosity. Not just talking about giving here, but about our hearts condition toward being benevolent, poured out, and surrendering our rights. Was really cool to spend the day watching videos and processing what it meant to us individually with-in small groups. At the end, all the staff broke up into 8 groups and listed out what could be possible if our whole church caught an infection of generosity. My group alone came up with 19 world-changing outcomes of a large group of people becoming ridiculously generous.

I Wish I Was God

Just had a fun exchange with my daughter after wrestling one on one for strength. A great daddy-daughter moment.

Lily: Are you strong or what?

Me: Yep, I am strong.

Lily: But your not as strong as God! Daddy, how strong is God?

Me: He’s the strongest! He is so strong he made everything. You know how the earth spins…well, it is like he is spinning it on his finger… that is how strong and how big God is.
