What’s Your Worst Travel Story?

loswhit — Wed, 11 May 2011 23:24:34 +0000

I have had some bad luck in the airports lately.
I’m stuck in the Phoenix Airport trying to get to Catalyst Dallas.
But nothing like a 3 day stint in the Las Vegas airports spending my life savings in the terminal slot machines.
What is your worst travel story?

Our Moving Home – The Bus

loswhit — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 05:57:28 +0000

When you are on a bus you get really close with your bus mates.
And this is a great group of guys to get to spend a month with.
John Marks band (who James and John are playing with me as well) are the real deal.
Love the Lord and can kick your teeth in if you mess with us.

I love my life…

Perspective

loswhit — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:27:12 +0000

I jumped off a bridge today.
But it’s all about perspective isn’t it?
In the first pic I’m just a chubby Mexican with his flip flops in his hands.
In the second pic I’m just a chubby Mexican with his flip flop in his hands jumping from 5 stories.
In the third pic nobody cares about the chubby Mexican with his flip flops in his hands because the landscape is so amazing.
Let me tell you something.
The crap that was almost in my pants from jumping off that bridge was real, but so is your perspective.
And let me tell you something else…
The truth about who you are or the church that you have is real…
But so is everybody’s perspective.

So keep jumping…all the while knowing that no one else may think it’s a big deal.
It’s better that way.

There’s a reason they call it the redeye.
When’s the last overnight flight you took?

6,826 Miles In 5 Days

I know it’s not as catchy as Donald Millers book title but it’ll have to do.
I’m heading on radio tour this week hitting Dallas, Sacramento, Seattle, Portland, St. Paul, Grand Rapids, and Denver.
I’m gonna try and schedule a tweet/blog/whatever meet up in each town I’m in.
I’ve got radio and TV appearances each day but for those of you who stay up late…there shall be a chance to dine…
If I had to eat at one place in each of those towns…where would it be and what would I eat?
Hope to see you guys!!!

The Nugget

I’d ask on twitter, but I’d like more than 140 characters.
Yesterday lots of you sat in rows or circles and heard some pearls of wisdom.
If you could summarize the main point of your pastors or YOUR OWN sermon yesterday for us all to digest…

What was it all about?

Dear Starbucks

loswhit — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:28:13 +0000

Call me a hopeless romantic…
Call me a man of tradition…
Call me a metrosexual worship leader for drinking a Venti Skinny Hazelnut Latte…
But don’t call me “Carlis”

But my real beef with the sticker, besides the misfortune of my name, is the sticker itself.
Starbucks…
There is not a lot that is “homey” about your stores.
They get it done.
They give me the coffee that I want.
They are very efficient machines.
And I am assuming that is why you went to the sticker.
But let me tell you something about the sticker.
You just took one of the only “human” things away from my experience.
There was something human about seeing that black sharpie code scribbled on the side of my cup.

I have no idea how to decipher your code.
But it was the only “personal touch” I could expect from a store.
And now I get a sticker slapped on the side of my cup that still has the boxes you used to scribble your coffee love note to me.
Only to cover it with that God awful sticker.
I know in the end it makes you faster.
But that scribble, now that it’s gone…
Takes you one step closer to McCafe.

Sincerely,
Metrosexual Skinny Hazlenut Latte Drinking Customer…

Bruised By Some Good Teaching Giveaway

loswhit — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:49:22 +0000

So. Tony gave his away yesterday.
I’m doing it today.
I have 2 tickets to the Desiring God Conference on Feb 2-4.
John Piper, Matt Chandler and a few more will bring the heat.
IT is a lineup that looks like you might be bruised when you leave the building so if you are anything like me, you would want to go.
Here’s the deal.
If you want to go, fill out your name in the comment section and later tonight I’ll take a video of me drawing the names out of a hat.
Who want’s in?
You have to give me your deets below so I can gangsta this drawing like the ghetto boy I am.
