I recently used a beta program called Twikini. Twikini is a wonderful Twitter client for Windows Mobile.
I installed it after not being satisfied with TinyTwitter. What got me started on Twikini was the ability to filter out my replies. What kept me was the speed and ease of use.
With builtin location updates from GPS, the ability to tweet pictures, short url integration, and Windows Media integration it is a feature rich app.
It also comes with various themes. Here are a couple of sample screen shots…
At $4.95 it is definately a steal, and they even have some creative payment methods!
So if you are a Windows Mobile user and need a great Twitter client, then take my advice and install the first and last one you will ever need!
Let me ’splain….no there is too much….Let me sum up….
Today we started a new series called “One Prayer.” We are joining toogether with over 1700 churches around the globe to unite on this one topic. The theme for One Prayer this year is “God is…” Pastor jeremy kicked us off today with message entitled “God is….Merciful” Jeremy brought us through the story of Jonah to look at the evidence of God’s mercy.
Today we learned:
God’s mercy Saves
God’s mercy is not about your past, but about your future
God’s mercy is about relationship
While Pastor Jerm spoke, all I could think about is what is my Ninevah?
Of course that is an easy one…my Ninevah is Lake Forrest….my neighborhood is one of the largest subdivisions in the country and has had its share of issues in the few years we have been here. There have been a couple of drive-by shootings, reported gang activity, suspicious fires, burglaries, neighbor feuds, etc. Anytime you throw that many people into a small enough area….you’re gonna have issues. Well God is speaking to me and telling me that I cannot run from him or Lake Forrest. I need to start being more active in bringing His Gospel to the people surrounding me. The question for me is what does that look like??? What can I do to be Jesus to my neighbors? One thing I’d like to see happen is for CATR to organize a ministry to gather and distribute furrniture, clothing, etc to those in need in LaVergne. I’m not sure of the details on something likethis as I am primarily thinking out loud at the moment, but I will continue to think on it over the next few weeks. If this is something that you feel called to be involved with…please let me know!
So the question for you is this…..what is your Ninevah???? Please share what God is laying on your heart here in the comments….
We had an awesome time at our church picnic. we had some awesome burgers and dawgs grilled by a master chef–Dave Loewy! I learned that Hotdogs and burgers are eaten on BUNS in the South rather then rolls….
Our kickball game was phenominal! We were joined by some of the Mets from the La Vergne baseball league and in the end the adults tired out and gave up the game to the kids!!!! Great game everyone!
I watched an episode of ER tonight from a few weeks ago.ER was the first hour long drama I really got into.Prior to that I never really had the attention span to sit through anything longer than 30 min on a regular basis…especially if it wasn’t going to make me bust a gut or have lots of guns, cars, or space aliens.Over the years, ER lost me….they recycled too many stories…my wife lost interest first…she said it was too unrealistic…how did so many things happen to one ER in a span of just a few years…I agreed once a helicopter feel on the same guy twice.Well..with it winding up, I decided to go back and catch the last few episodes and watch it go out.I started with the episode that Clooney returned for.It was primarily about transplants.It had me choked up pretty quick.
You see, my Dad had a transplant when I was about 14.He got a new heart!He was given a 2nd chance at life…one he probably needed. Honestly, he made good attempts at fixing some things…like our relationship.It took me about 5-6 years of the extra 7 he received to break out of my adolescent attitude towards him…but in the end, we had some good times.I can’t express how much I miss him…but am so grateful to at least have gotten those extra years…something that would not have been possible if some family members of a 21yo who died in a motorcycle accident had not chosen to donate their loved ones organs.
Much like our Savior gave up his life to give all of us a 2nd chance…we can give others a 2nd chance by simply checking that box on your license…or in the face of tragedy at the loss of a loved one…donating their organs….
Please don’t deny someone like me the opportunity to have a dad a little while longer.
Let me ’splain….no there is too much….Let me sum up….
This is a new posting series I am starting that will sum up the happenings at Church @ the River each week….
We started a new series today called Dangerous Church 2. Jeremy and I tried something new this week…co-teaching. It seemed to go pretty well…except my pages of my notes kept sticking together and Jeremy dropped his once…but it’s all good…
We need to be focused on Jesus and what He has called us to do. He has called us to be a Dangerous Church…not a Safe one.
A safe church is one where…
People don’t follow God’s lead because they are afraid to step on toes
People fear change more then they fear the taxman
People steer clear of topics that are the slightest bit controversial
A dangerous church is one where…
People follow god’s direction…regardless of where it leads or who gets offended
People are honest about who they are
People serve…they contribute rather then play the role of a sponge…
Remember…each and every one of us…myself included…are regular ordinary idiotas…but by spending time in God’s presence, we can become extraordinary people who change the world!
On this joyous night I want to share something that has been on my heart for a while. I think we need to re-examine why it was that Christ joined us and walked among us on this earth. He did not come down to tell us everything that was wrong with us, or what we should be doing differently, or how that we choose to worship Him isn’t the proper way, or to solve all of our problems in the blink of an eye. He came down for one reason and one reason alone…..to love us. That’s it. This really truly should be the Season of Love….and it should be something that lasts all year long. So as the eggnog disappears, the holiday pounds accumulate, and the decorations go back in the attic, let’s focus on loving each other…especially the least of these and those who we beleive don’t deserve it….liberals & conservatives, Democrats & Republicans, gays and straight, liars, theives, murderers, cheaters…
As BIlly Graham said “It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge, and it’s our job to love.”
Luke 7:22Luke 7:22 English: World English Bible - WEB 22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
1. My wife — how God convinced her I was the one for her was nothing short of a miracle!
2. My son Anthony — A brilliant, sensitive young man who is going to be used by God for great things…
3. My daughter Hannah — A unique young lady who never fails to being a smile to your face
4. My baby girl, Elizabeth — My little southern belle….well southern at least!
5. Church @ the River — Eph 3:20Eph 3:20 English: World English Bible - WEB 20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” comes to mind
6. Refuge @ the River — That the Lord has placed such unique and powerful young men and women in my life and allowed me to be a part of their growth astounds me
7. My In-laws — Never in a million years has a guy been blessed so much by marriage, not just with his wife but her whole family
8. My family up north — I love you all and wish we could be together…just need to convince you all that the South is the Promised Land
9. My friends back in NJ — I miss y’all like a pig misses slop
10. My twitter, YMX, blogosphere, facebook, Xanga friends — It amazes me the bonds that can be formed with simple 1’s and 0’s
11. The 2008 World Champion Phillies!!!! — The wait is over and it is time for the reign of parades to begin….
12. The Flyers — WE GOT NEXT!
Francis Chan brought TRUTH this afternoon to the NYWC. He talked about not holding anything back, making the church unstoppable like the church in Acts. No more of this “They changed the service time? TIme for me to find a new church.” stuff. It’s time we stopped worrying about who we might offend and got back to speaking the Word. It’s time we started being “salty” again…otherwise we are useless. We water things down to increase our numbers and what is the result?? Nothing….
I grew up listening to Harry Kalas call Phils games with Richie Ashburn. Hearing his voice takes be back instantly to my youth….and here is classic Harry…
I am still waiting for my heartrate to return to normal…the Phils really are Champions of the World!
I grew up breathing in sports…I was and am still a sports addict. I still remember, albeit vaguely, the Flyers winning the Stanley Cup….twice. The Phils won multiple division titles in the late 70’s. Then they won the series in 80. I can still clearly see Rose catching Boone’s bobbled pop foul. The image of Tug is ingrained in my memory. Then the Sixers. I had penants in my room from each of these. The championship pennants listing down the names of the players on the roster that year….I still know most of them. In the first 18 years of my life the 4 major Philly sports teams won 23 division titles, 13 trips to their respective chamionships of which they emerged with 4 titles. It is probably the greatest 18 years put together in the history of Philadelphia professional sports. However, the following 18 years made up for it as those numbers were reduced to just 10 division titles, 4 finals and no titles. I learned throughout my adult life what I was privilidged to not have to learn as a child. The heartbreak associated with being a Philadalphia fan. Now in the 7th month of my next 18 years, we have started off with a resurging Flyers team, and now a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP by the Phillies.
I was lucky enough to be inside the Vet for the 9th inning in 93 when the Phillies won the pennant. I got to a World Series game that year. I’ve never been to a parade. I was too young in 80 and 83, and now I am too broke and too far away. I will, be there in spirit (and maybe through phone lines if one of my friends is nice enough to call while they are there), but know this……
FLYERS GOT NEXT!
…and if I have to hitchhike from Nashville to Philadelphia…I will be attending that parade!
