Here’s the latest in the life of Jones:

  • been working through the book of Acts in my time with God.  I’m amazed by the faith and raw trust that the early church had in Jesus.  Has been challenging me on a lot of levels.
  • As a sports fan, this time of the year is my second favorite next to college football season.  Love watching college basketball and the tournament.
  • Speaking of college basketball, UGA let Dennis Felton go as coach and is now in the coaching search business.  I really hope that the Dawgs can find a coach that can bring our program up to the next level.  The state of Georgia has a TON of bball talent that usually ends up out of state or at Tech.  Need to close the borders on that.
  • Next week I’m headed out to C3 in Dallas.  Really looking forward to that.  I’ll be doing some live blogging of the general sessions so be sure to check back.  Need some refreshing and looking forward to get away and hopefully hear from God on some things.
  • Speaking of conferences, some of our staff and volunteers from CCC are headed to UNLEASH at Newspring again in March.  This is a great one day conference, and I am stoked that Kim is going with me this year.
  • Had Demon Hunter’s LIVE cd spinnin the last few weeks and am loving it.  Looking forward to U2’s new album coming out next month.
  • Got a lot of new web projects on the table right now.  Thankful for them in this economy.
  • Heading to Snowshoe with the high schoolers in a few weeks.  Should be some good times.  Love snowshoe.
  • Working through the video over IP for CCC’s multi-site campuses.  Video over IP, if you don’t know, is kinda like voice over IP (like Vonage).  Except, it’s video instead of voice.  I think we’re getting close to finding the solution we want.  Once in place, it will give us the ability to do live messages to all of our campuses, plus some very cool interaction possibilities.  Getting some pricing for the final piece of the puzzle this week.
  • That’s about all for now. l8r

Wanted to shoot a quick note as my body is dead tired, but I have a ton on my mind.  Been a while since I’ve done an update, too.  Will probably be pretty random.

  • The West Campus open house went really well tonight.  We were able to do about 4 run throughs of most of the media components and I really think Kenny and the media team are doing a great job.
  • Multi-Site has really consumed a lot of my energy and time, and I’m really excited to see it about to launch for several reasons: 1. I think it is going to blow up and be at two services by April 2. I have a lot of projects that I need to address that I haven’t had the time to do so and am really looking forward to tackling
  • I really think January is going to be a big month for my family and I personally.  Not sure why or what exactly, but I just think that God is at work on some things that are going to blow us away.
  • How about my Dawgs? Finished out the year well by beating Michigan State after a disappointing loss to GT.
  • Speaking of college football, there are two teams that you will never see me pull for: GT and Florida.  I just can’t bring myself to do it. Nothing personal against anyone, but I just can’t do it. Next week in the National Championship, I’m all Boomer Sooner…go OU.
  • I’ve had a lot on my mind lately that I’m praying about.  Would really covet your prayers.  Just really trying to seek God’s desire and direction.
  • Do people actually buy Snuggies?  That has to be the goofiest looking article of clothing I’ve seen in a while.  Looks straight out of Star Trek or something.
  • Back is doing better. Went to chiro twice and rested it a lot this past week. Now I’m feeling a cold coming on….bleh.
  • Kim is blogging now. We just set it up so she’ll be blogging soon: http://www.kimjonesblog.com/
  • I need some new books that will challenge me. Saw one by Andy Stanley that I think I’m going to grab. Love some suggestions.
  • Had a chance to meet with some friends from high school right after Christmas. Kim and I had a great time. Amazing how much you change and how much you stay the same.
  • Set some goals for the year a few weeks ago. Wrote them down and am planning on fleshing out how I’m going to achieve them a little more this coming week.
  • Going to veg for a bit with some TV and then bed.
