If you act now you can beat the rush. Think about it, in just a couple of short weeks we will be on the threshold of Christmas, the most commercial and religious holiday of the year. With that comes the old sagging (like grandma’s triceps) debate of “Happy Holidays” verses “Merry Christmas.” So in order [...]
My guest blogger today is Vina Howell. Vina is our graphic and web designer at SouthPoint and she is so gifted it’s actually scary. Her are some of her thoughts.

At this moment in my life, I think [...]
I once read that Vince Lombardi used to gather his football players before the game and tell them, “in a few hours you will be back in this same room and you will have one of two things: either ‘reasons’ or ‘results,’” and then he would ask, “So what’s it going to be?”
If you strive [...]
I don’t read anything in the Minor Prophets very often. In fact the only time I really go there is while reading the One Year Bible….But this morning I felt compelled to read Habakkuk, and I’m glad I did.
Maybe it’s just me but times seem to be a bit overwhelming. Everything is not going like [...]
Sometimes I write an entry with a specific group of people in mind. Sometimes I write an entry with nobody in mind, but this one I write with me in mind. I’ve been reading a book entitled “Leading on Empty” by Wayne Cordeiro and it has been spectacular! What an amazing book for leaders. If [...]
There are so many things I want to do. I have a mental list of things I want to accomplish and that I want to achieve before I die. Now I know that I should be writing them down because that’s the smart thing to do, but I haven’t, and I’m probably not going to [...]
Ever heard of Chuck Yeager? No it is not the guy who invented Jagermeister. Chuck Yeager is the first guy to ever break the sound barrier. Now that does not mean he was the first guy to fly a plane that was capable of breaking the sound barrier because the government had several planes before [...]
I like to be known. It just feels good to be recognized when I’m in a store, or out and about. It feels especially good when I come home and my family still recognizes me. Now wanting to be recognized and known might sound a bit narcissistic to you, and maybe it is, but I’m [...]
My Grandparents were smart, actually brilliant. I used to think they were just hard working northern farmers who grew oats and had a few cows, and through that menial task they loved Jesus. Of course, I also thought they hadn’t a clue about how to enjoy life. Anytime together with other believers they would hope, [...]
This Sunday I asked the volunteers who was on the hospitality team this week. No one raised their hand. Now that is mostly because we don’t specifically have a team entitled, “hospitality,” so my question confused them. Then I helped them see and realize that we are all on the hospitality team every week. We [...]
