This isn't the post I've been threatening--that's still to come--but this was too cool not to share. I have friend (What up JS?) at the Savannah College of Art and Design and while looking him up, I came across this Senior Project by a different SCAD student. Enjoy!

Hotter than ever?
This is Scott Hodge, the pastor of the church Tricia and I attended before moving to Iowa and joining with Crossroads. I'm so proud... ;-) Oh and that's Mike Jones in orange, sporting the massive goatee...

Intentional fitness planning
Well, it wasn't intentional, but with the transition and all, my exercise habits have deteriorated considerably and I'm not as lithe and energetic as I like to be, so...
It's time to get healthy. I'm going to have to trim some of the treats out of the diet for a while, but mainly I need an exercise plan. I've thought a little about P90X but after a lot of research, I think I'm going this route... Thanks, Los for the tip.

Job update plus links for catching up
I'm letting people know about some news going on in our lives and of course it becomes obvious that many people have no idea where we are right now! =) So if you have any interest in what's going on for the Reeves family right now, try reading these 3 posts... they should bring you up to speed.
1. First mention
2. Big News
3. Early Update
Beyond that, we got some great news today... Tricia applied for the one and only job opening in the Norwalk school system--a 6-12 Gifted position. She interviewed for it this morning and we found out this afternoon that she got the job. AWESOME!! We are very excited!
I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but if you know Tricia, you know that she is not only one of the best teachers you'll ever meet, but she's the person you want on your team. She adds value to every thing she's a part of, and I'm very blessed to be her husband!
When I asked for prayers on Twitter this morning, many of you prayed and I humbly thank you. There were so many reasons why she might not get picked for this position, and yet she was anyway and we believe that it's our God making a way for us and confirming his calling of our family to Norwalk/Des Moines and to Crossroads Church.
It's definitely bittersweet to leave behind Illinois, (just as it was hard to leave Birmingham and Lanett/West Point) but we know that we still have awesome family all over the U.S. and are now able to add to that. So excited about serving at Crossroads. So excited that God is blessing my family. So excited to serve alongside PG and the rest of Crossroads' awesome staff.
Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Redeeming culture... all of it
This Sunday (4/19) we're using a great U2 song as we talk about our relational need for each other--the need we have for unity. "One" illustrates that very well, I believe. Plus it's a great song, and its going to be fun to play (and I hope fun to listen to).
U2 is in a special category because while they are far from being a "christian band," many of their songs delve deeply into spiritual and Christian themes. So they kinda get a pass in some church circles.
AC/DC, however does not get a pass! No one would ever mistake their lyrics for christian. But here is a great church in South Carolina taking a shot at redeeming a very un-Christian anthem. What do you think?

Since You've Been Gone...
Well, I'm officially in the once-a-month club when it comes to blogging. Sorry about that. If you don't follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I'll try to fill you in a bit.
For the past two weekends I've traveled to Crossroads Church in Des Moines, IA, where I'm serving as the Pastor of Congregational Development. Currently, what that looks like is me focusing upon and leading the Arts teams (Band, Vox, Tech, etc) and as we move forward, I'll be helping in the areas of leadership development and first impressions, as well as small groups.
Crossroads is a great church full of talented, dedicated people who are ready to move to the next level organizationally to reach their community, Norwalk and Des Moines, for Jesus Christ. They are an evangelistic congregation in a denomination not generally known for evangelism. Under the leadership of our Lead Pastor, Glen Blumer, Crossroads is in many ways setting the bar for RCA churches when it comes to strategy and mission.
Something you might not know about the RCA is that it has a very high Dutch population. What this means practically is that I'm (at 6'3") one of the shortest men there. I'm hoping we can start a church league basketball team... I wouldn't be able to get off the bench, but we could dominate in the paint!
I'm hoping to get back to a more consistent level of posting here at Intentionality. Thanks for sticking around, and get off your duff and check out Twitter and Facebook. Much more interaction for sure. And if you haven't yet, definitely get a blog reader... I use Google Reader.
Okay, that's it.
