Three All Important Planning Factors

I recently had to make up a plan for our new children's space. I've discovered three great planning truths as a result. Here they are.

1. NEVER plan alone. Make sure you gather creative people around you. The ideas will be more robust and better thought out.
   
2. NEVER rush the planning process. It makes the whole project go faster when the plan is well laid out.
3. ALWAYS keep the plan under review. The plan serves to accomplish the project. The project doesn't exist to follow the plan. If you DO need to change the plan mid project just make sure that the change serves the end goal and isn't just a cheep short cut.

If you have any more insights on making a plan feel free to share.

Samson Video Makes it Big(er)

Apparently this video has gotten around the internet just a bit. The internet's a funny place. It's just a dorky little diddly do we did on Samson to introduce the kids to the story. All hail legomation!

Well... so we've not made it to the big time with this one. But it's always nice to see you're stuff show up on a search engine.

NEW ROOM!

This week our children's ministry was authorized to renovate a room for our own! This is a big step forward for us as we've been sharing a room with the youth ministry. It will solve all sorts of staging and logistics problems for us. Not to mention we get a room that looks COOL!

Now we just have to figure out what to do with this. The options are unlimited... funds are not. Such is life.

Limitations aside, I think that I've got a great team of creative people who will be able to take any budget and turn it into a top notch design. I'm looking forward to it.
