High Point Church in 140 Characters...

I asked a while back if you would describe what High Point Church means to you in 140 characters or less. Why 140 characters? Because it is the size twitter asks for and keeps things short enough to spread but long enough to get the point.  I figured this would be a cool way to hear from you in bite sized segments how you have been changed Jesus and encouraged by the community of High Point. One lucky person will get a book from my library. Here is what was sent... 

• HP is like a nightlight, it lights the way when things in your life get a little too dark. HP is like water, it quenches your thirst. HP is like a map, guiding you along the winding paths of every obstacle in your life. - Melissa
• HPC offers community security & individual development, & effectively strives to show Christ's love as accessible yet profound. -@josephsunde
• A place of hope, restoration, dreams, life, winners, impact, landmark to the city, and love. @terryboynten
• High Point is like being at home with all your family having a celebration and hearing some great life changing stories.- Tammi 'Schuck' Strong
• High Point a community using Love and the Word, promotes bringing out your true spirit and one big step closer to God!- Karen Reynolds Knoll
• To me, High Point is one of the best places I have ever been. I feel absolutely at home there. I feel more at home there than anywhere else- even my own home. The people are so nice and friendly. They care about everyone no matter who they are. I got hooked going and can't stop. I love it!!!!- Kelly

Before I close this down and pick a winner. Does anyone have 140 characters that they would like to offer?

HIGHPOINTCHURCH.TV...

Coming soon to a computer near you... Stay tuned for when it goes live but here is a screen shot for you to build anticipation.

Phones...

I just extended out contract 2 more years because I got a free month service. I have been with T-mobile since 2003. It has actually been longer I used to work for them in college. I also got a kick-en sweet monthly unlimited pan for super cheap. Cheaper than boost mobile. Now I need to upgrade the phones... Her is my dilemma $$$$$$.

Here is what I want...

I would need a 1st generation one in good condition and then unlock it for T-mobile.

Here is what I want through T-mobile... Blackberry 8900

The issue with this one is it is pricey and that makes a difference.

Here is what I think I am going to get...

The pearl is a good phone I have one and this one has a wifi upgrade and a better camera phone. The problem is that I have it and want something that has a faster web processor. Which brings me to the next question.

DO I REALLY NEED DATA?

I love that my email, calender and contacts auto update. I love that I get Google maps to find me and direct me. I love that I can browse for things I need in the moment. But do I need it? That is what I am wrestling with... If not then The pearl is just fine... Easy to use and convenient because I know it. But I have this phone for 2 years and want one i can really enjoy. I use my phone a lot.

That is what I am thinking about right now. What is your FAV PHONE?

Computer Issues PT 4

I think there is a lesson somewhere in this mess of computer problems.

I should write a sermon on how to keep your joy while your computer destroys your priceless treasures.

I am so frustrated it makes it hard to concentrate. I am convinced that you are all either laughing at me or crying with me. Let me know if you have had similar issues?

I am ready to buy whatever computer works like my iron. My iron is simple. I plug it in and it works. I unplug it and it stops. Then again I would like to buy an iron that can play mp3S, look up 50 different translations of the bible and write a document on... that had a 17" screen on it. So maybe I would rather buy a computer that could iron my clothes? Wouldn't that be interesting? it would have to be a desktop because you wouldn't want that thing near your lap... lol.

OK... enough mindless rambling back to "Weak is Strong".

Computer Issues PT 3

I am still trying to restore what was saved on my external hard drive. I think I maid a mistake. I picked up a fire wire so it would go faster but I think I was supposed to formate it or something. I am just smart enough with this computer to mess things up.

Well I will let you know if I can restore the pictures and files that I think I lost.

We will give you an update soon.

PC issues PT2...

SO far so good. It took the whole day and I have yet to migrate everything back on the computer from the portable hard drive but... So far so good. It seems to run faster. I hope that stays the case. We will see. I think that in the next six months to a year we are going to be at this again. But until then

I have a working and paid for computer! Yeah. Now it is on to bigger and better projects, like Dinner.
