How do you feel about failure? Odds are you probably run from it like the plague. Yet we all know that we experience failure on a regular basis (some of us more than others).
Consider the bobblehead image above. Look closely at it and see if you notice anything odd.
I came across this quote from Steve Jobs and I think it profoundly describes the tension between creating something and then pulling it off. Part of the reason my role changed at Central a few years back was so I could oversee both our creative team and our production team. Before that, these two teams would often experience a stalemate with no way to navigate through it.
Odds are that you are probably in one of these two camps.
This. Idea. Is. Brilliant.
They’ve creatively addressed a problematic realty for guys. Either we way overpay for the razor we use (have you even seen the prices of those things now) or, we way overuse the razor that we have (and we tempt bad hygiene). Solution? A monthly club where they send you a new razor each month and you pick how much you want to pay.

This line is a variation of a blog post I wrote called The Bark of the Poodle. With the popularity of social media, so many people have a platform to tell others what is happening. What I notice is how many people spend that opportunity telling the rest of us how great their life is.
Here’s why this is tricky. If things are going well in your life, then talking about your life will show this. But if things aren’t going well in a certain area of your life, your temptation will be to convince others—and without realizing it, yourself as well—that things are going well in your life even though you know deep inside that it isn’t accurate.
But it can make you a lot of money. Let me explain.
I was given a pack of Mike and Ike candies for my birthday and Mike’s name was crossed out on the box. I asked my friend who gave it to my why he did that. He responded by telling me that they came that way. This was a bit hard to believe as it looked exactly like someone had taken a sharpie to the box. Upon further review—I Googled it of course—I realized that the packages really do come that way now. Apparently, Mike has decided to pursue a music career and Ike wants to be an artist.
We’ve done something new at Central by producing a message video outside of the weekend service. We wanted to produce a message solely addressing baptism so we modified a message I did the weekend after Easter. We will give this out to anyone considering being baptized themselves. Because of the way we did it we were able to get more creative with the camera shots and the editing. I’m really excited about the way it turned out. Check it out below and let me know what you think.
