The calm before the storm
Posted on 17. Apr, 2011 by Kenny.
It’s been really quite here. It’s been over a week since any new content has posted here and other than a little post here and there, it’s been over two weeks since I’ve posted anything significant. I’ve had a few people email me asking me if I was dead (just kidding, no one has done that). So, what’s up Mr. Kenny? Did you quit? Since you hit glorious year number four, did you decide to pick up another hobby?
I’m sure’ you’ve been asking those very questions.
No my friend. This is simply the clam before the storm… and it’s going to be a pretty big storm.
I’ll give you a little teaser, so you’ll know what to expect in the coming days/weeks.… Read the rest

Happy Birthday once again! CMO turns four!
Posted on 05. Apr, 2011 by Kenny.
I didn’t do very well with this. Because of my agressive blogging schedule last week, I took a day off… which happened to be my blogs 4th birthday. Oops.
Well, it’s been another great year. I didn’t blog as much as last  year (I had a crazy pace last year), however I did see some substantial growth in everything form unique visitors to page views. I love it when people write to tell me that it’s been a blessing, but I’ll be honest, connecting with thousands of kidmin from around the world has been the biggest blessing I ever could have imagined. This little project has brought significant change and progress to my ministry and life as well.… Read the rest

I can’t wait until Friday!
Posted on 24. Mar, 2011 by Kenny.
I’m almost two weeks late to one of the biggest social media inspired viral videos of all time. This instance of social media explosion is very different from many others. It’s a music video from a 14 year old girl whose song is so bad, people are spreading the word on how bad it is. Already she’s been on Leno, several other morning shows and the like. Although it’s probably not the exposure you want, it is exposure. At least for a while, people are going to know who Rebecca Black is. If you aren’t one of the 40 million who have already seen the video, watch below.
Although she’s received an overwhelming amount of negative feedback, there are some diamonds in the rough.… Read the rest

Kidmin March Madness: Don’t vote for me!
Posted on 21. Mar, 2011 by Kenny.
No, this isn’t reverse psychology. Last week I announced that the March Madness for Kidmin Blogs had started. Last year I took 3rd place. Let me tell you, it took a lot of work to just get 3rd place. I was shaking a lot of hands and kissing a lot of babies.
As this year came around, I started thinking about what may strategy would be this year. How would I attempt to win? I know enough people and have enough influence to pull off a victory, right? Worse case scenario, I could walk door to door in my neighborhood to canvas for votes. Hmmmm, not how I want to spend my time. So, last week I decided on my 2011 strategy, my strategy not to win.… Read the rest

Jonathan Cliff is my hero!
Posted on 15. Mar, 2011 by Kenny.
Here he is with the one and only Carman. That alone is worth attaining personal hero status… but I’ll go on. I know that a lot of you who read this blog probably read Jonathan’s blog too, but in case you don’t, you should start. For the past 2-3 years, I’ve been beating this “collaboration” drum because it’s changed the entire way I see (and do) ministry. There’s something about not doing it alone. Funny how you can have a big church, big staff and still sometimes feel all alone. If you find yourself in that position, it’s your fault.
I’ve only known Jonathan Cliff for about 3 years, but he’s probably one of the people who has influenced my life most in recent years.… Read the rest

March Madness for Kidmin
Posted on 14. Mar, 2011 by Kenny.
The excitement is in the air. Can you smell it? Basketball? I’m not talking about basketball. I’m talking about the 2011 Kidmin Blog Madness competition hosted by Ministry to Children. Last year after three rounds, I finished in 3rd place. Not too shabby. Well, it’s March again and the brackets are set. I’m in the Southwest division up against several great Kidmin blogs. Since you’re on my blog right now, I’m going to ask you to head over and throw a vote my way. You can vote for four blogs in each region. The Southwest region is the last of four and my blog (Chidlren’s Ministry Online) is in the #1 spot.
So, thanks for your help! Again, you can get there by clicking here!… Read the rest

Winner of God’s Kids Easter Resource
Posted on 16. Jan, 2011 by Kenny.
Well, we had a handful of tweets go out as well as some really great comments on the original post. If you’re looking for some great Easter ideas, I’d recommend reading through some of the comments. So for every daily tweet, I put the name in the virtual hat. For every comment, I also put a name in the virtual hat. Last of all, I chose one idea that I liked the most and put it in the hat five times.
The idea I liked the most was from Kim with the Maundy Thursday Family Service. I’ll be honest, I’ve grown up in the church my entire life and have never heard of Maundy Thursday. I love the concept, especially how they’ve created a family experience around it.… Read the rest

Using my iPad for an iWedding
Posted on 15. Jan, 2011 by Kenny.
I’m excited that today I’m going to perform my first wedding using my iPad. Being in Austin, 90% of my weddings are at outdoor locations and I’m usually trying to make sure my notes don’t fly away in the wind. I usually carry a nice black binder for my notes, so my iPad with it’s black case should look nice and sleek, plus I don’t have to worry about wind.
I’m going to have to enlarge the font size of the text as its just a little too small as it is on a regular word document, but that should solve the only issue I was facing. I’ll write more about the experience tomorrow. I was going to use it at my last wedding in October, but chickened out at the last minute.… Read the rest
