God has given evan an amazing brain. but can you say OCD? one day a year or so ago evan was working on my pc. (back before he came to believe that pcs are evil and macs rule)lol. i will never forget the look on his face when, due to no fault of his, my computer crashed. his face turned white and i thought he was going to pass out:) evan, even though your neurotic, your attention to detail is appreciated. as the ad implied... seemingly crazy people change the world... and thus, you are a world changer! :) when all is stripped away all that matters is all that is eternal! great post evan! inspiring. that ad is one of my favorites.

Great post bro! Yes you are obsessive about graphic things being just perfect. Since you opened the can of worms, I will close it. Evan and I were working at my house a few weeks ago on a Sunday night after church. I agreed to buy the pizza if Evan would come over and help me figure out how to import video from my church's new Sony video camera (HDR-UX1) onto my Mac. It was the first time that something this simple was so difficult to do on a Mac. We figured it out (okay, Evan figured it out) and before long we both found ourselves making a PowerPoint game. Let's just put it this way. I about had my PowerPoint game finished before he had even picked out stock a image to buy for the first slide. He went home with no stock image and no PowerPoint game under his belt. But hey - when he found that image it was a good one. If you are curious, the PowerPoint game Evan started working on that night was Zonk. https://www.kidzmatter.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=1348&category=12 Back to the topic at hand, Evan you did a good job writing this. Watching the Mac commercial made me stop and think. Reading the 1 Corinthians passage really made me bring to to where I live. Thanks for taking time to share this! Evan,

I "started over" at a new church (less than 2 years old) and the first thing (after waiting three months) I did was "get relevant" with the kids; trained the volunteers, redesigned the room (even knocked out walls), the media, put in a sound/video booth, made signs, changed the name, installed lights... ect. Now that all of that is in place, I'm putting a foundation down for our next additions. It's so funny... I've always been a "front man" who loves the "bling" of children's church, but as I grow more into the place I feel God is calling me to I find myself enjoying the simple things. Stopping by the nursery and saying hey to our future kids church. Walking down the hall and getting about 20 "fives" from five year olds. There isn't a flashy video, light show, movie clip, ppt slide, sound effect ect that can light up a kids face like saying, "high five!" I’m going through the same thoughts in my mind.
