I love it when a plan comes together
Posted on 06. Apr, 2011 by Kenny.
So, in case you missed it, this weekend the March Madness for Kidmin bloggers came to a close. The winner, Jared Massey of Small Town Kidmin. In case you missed all of this, let me explain what happened.
Over at ministry-to-children.com, Tony launched the 2nd annual March Madness bracket competition. Last year I worked my tail off for 3rd place. I know that the other four in the final round also worked their tails off to get to the final four let alone compete to win the championship. It was fun and certainly created exposure to a lot of kidmin blogs that may have gone unnoticed by some. However, it was all about influence. Obviously each blogger would encourage people who followed them to vote, but bloggers were using the influence they had to gain votes as well.… 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

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

Thanks for makeing this the second top blog in the USA
Posted on 03. Apr, 2010 by Kenny.
Well, the Blog Madness is over (well, depends on how you define madness). The contest came to an end and this site had a great fight, but did not take the crowning victory. Nope, we came in 3rd place. Rob from Chidlrens Ministry 1234 came in the top spot and Sam Luce came in 2nd. I barely took the 3rd spot ahead of Amy Dolan at Lemon Lime Kids. Since Rob is from Down Under, I guess that makes this blog in the 2nd top spot in the USA. Not too shabby.
Thanks so much everyone for voting. I hope that you’ll continue to engage in the little community we have here and continue to make this blog great. I’ve got some fun ideas in the coming months that will certainly keep you engaged.… Read the rest

This is the end of the line
Posted on 01. Apr, 2010 by Kenny.
This is it. This is the end of the line friends. Over two weeks ago the March Madness for Kidmin bloggers began From the 64 who started, there are only four remaining and I am one of those four. It’s been a long journey (comparatively speaking) and it’s all come down to this. As a reader of this blog, a friend or maybe a family member, I’m going to ask that you send a vote in my direction. You know what would make a victory Oh So Sweet? This competition ends on Friday afternoon which this weekend happens to be the THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY/BIRTHDAY of this blog. Wow, how amazing is that? Coincidence? Fate? I’ll let you decide. In addition, this weekend I’ll post my 1000th post on this blog.… Read the rest

And then there were four
Posted on 29. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
In case you haven’t read any kidmin blogs in the last two weeks, there’s this little competition going on RIGHT NOW! It’s the March Madness of Children’s Ministry blogs. I was honored to be among the original 64 featured blogs. I won the first round division taking me to round two. On Sunday afternoon I barely squeaked by with another victory and I now find myself in the Final Four. Woo hoo!
It’s been a fun little competition so far, but here’s where things get really exciting. This is the big leagues and I’m going up some heavyweights. I had the honor of meeting Rob Bradbury (Childrens Ministry 1234) two years ago at the Orange Conference and I’ve become very good friends with Sam Luce.… Read the rest

March Madness: #Kidmin Style
Posted on 14. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
It’s that time of year. The big dance. I’ll admit, I’m a poser when it comes to college basketball. I love watching college ball during March, but typically only March. I pick the teams I want to root for and become a fan at that point. Before I get totally trashed by Jonathan Cliff for making that statement, I will say that consistently I root for UNC and have done so since the early 90′s. I graduated from High School in NC and my brother graduated from UNC. So there… but I digress.
To make this March a little “madder,” Tony Kummer started a Kids Ministry Blog Madness. He basically created brackets for 64 Kidmin blogs and opened up the polls for voting to see which bloggers will go head to head in the Kidmin Blogging Final Four.… Read the rest

My tournament brackets
Posted on 22. Mar, 2008 by Kenny.
It seems that everyone else (Pudge and Matt) is posting their brackets in their blogs today, so I figured I’d do the same. I set mine up on Thursday. I love college basketball, but I don’t don’t watch any games until March. It’s just the way I roll.
