BranchWeaver

BranchWeaver.com is a unique web-hosting and publishing company.

And I’m a BranchWeaver affiliate.  More about what that means in a minute.  If you don’t want my explanation, go ahead and go there now: BranchWeaver.Com.

BranchWeaver is a partnership among three ministers who were seeking ways to more effectively use technology in ministry. The result of their conversations (and perhaps their conspiracies) was the formation of two distinct entities: TheoBloggers and A View of Worship.

TheoBloggers (TB) is a popular blog and web hosting site that is committed to providing a safe, spiritual environment for your web presence.  I’d been a blogger for years, but it wasn’t until I moved my site to TheoBloggers that I began to see the larger possibilities.  I’ve received personal attention and unbelievable customer service. Recently, TB has moved its operation to a new, faster, more secure server and what was really good has gone to great.  Plus, the good folks at TB can help you with a wide range of services: from registering and transferring domains to publishing and maintaining your sites.

And, I’ve not found another web-hosting service that can compare with their prices.

A View of Worship (AVOW) is a worship slide creation company that currently offers projection slides for approximately 500 popular worship songs. The innovative subscription method for song delivery ensures that your congregation has the most up-to-date slide offerings without having to wait for annual updates. This and the convenient online delivery method makes AVOW worship slides a powerful tool for leading worship.

Now, I’m not in the church business, but I do attend one.  And it seems to me that having the AVOW subscription would greatly simplify the lives of some people who sit up on Saturday night building song slides for worship.  Not to mention alleviating those embarrassing typos.

Now, what is this “affiliate” talk and how does it affect you?

I’m a BranchWeaver fan. I believe in what they do. In fact, I believe in them enough that I’m willing to tell my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who will listen about them.  Consider yourself told.

And because they believe in me, if you visit their site and eventually decide to do business with them, they will share some of their good fortune with me.  That’s right.  Just like the late Ed McMahon, I am a paid endorser.  But I’d do it for free — just don’t tell BranchWeaver that.

Just Thoughts

  • Hope seen . . . slowly softens the crust of worry. Hope celebrated . . . melts worry away. Melted worry is the compost that feeds faith and destiny.

  • An abundant life is not one free from worry, but one filled with hope.

  • Have you ever been in a really big hurry?

    Have you ever been in a really big hurry  . . . and everything seems to go wrong?

    You drop your keys just as you get to the door. You leave your phone on the nightstand. You hit “reply to all” on the email that should have gone to one discreet individual. You can’t seem to hit the trash can with that one wad of paper. You find yourself face-to-face with the one person you don’t “really have time to deal with.”

    Frustration builds inside. Anger, dismay, and depression grow like grass in a flower bed. What can you do? What is the most effective action step for the moment.

    Slow down.

    That’s it. Slow down. Take a breath. Whisper a prayer. Hum a song.

    Slowing down allows tension to melt away. Slowing down allows your emotions to moderate. Slowing down allows you to gain control . . . by easing your grip.

    So, slow down . . .

  • “Constantly Pleasant.”

    That’s how she was described. Not a person attending the memorial service would have disagreed.

    As I sat and listened to the accomplishments of this remarkable person, I was somewhat awestruck by the thought that I had been blessed to know an individual who touched so many and did so much . . . while being constantly pleasant.

    What if I could become constantly pleasant? What would that change? How would I change?

    Thanks, Colleen. For being constantly pleasant. It’s just one of many ways that God shone through you.

  • If you’ll just let go, your hands will be free to  . . .

    • comfort a friend in pain
    • carry a stranger’s burden
    • steady yourself when your world is rocked
    • graciously accept a gift
    • smooth the wrinkles from the fabric of life

    If you’ll let go . . . empty your hands of things and your heart of worries . . . you’ll be delighted with what you find in those sacred hollows.
