<blockquote><p>People use equipment as a crutch. They don’t want to put in the hours on the driving range so they spend a ton in the pro shop. They’re looking for a shortcut. But you just don’t need the best gear in the world to be good. And you definitely don’t need it to get started.</p>
<p>In business, too many people obsess over tools, software tricks, scaling issues, fancy office space, lavish furniture, and other frivolities instead of what really matters. And what really matters is how to actually get customers and make money.</p>
<p>You also see it in people who want to blog, podcast, or shoot videos for their business but get hung up on which tools to use. The content is what matters. You can spend tons on fancy equipment, but if you’ve got nothing to say … well, you’ve got nothing to say.<br />

There are some people that are good at hiring.<br />
Then there are some people that are GREAT at hiring.<br />
Then there are some people that are all but annointed when it comes to putting the right person in the right church.<br />
My buddy <a href="http://www.williamvanderbloemen.com/" target="_blank">William Vanderbloemen</a> is that guy.<br />
He has started the <a href="http://www.vanderbloemensearch.com/" target="_blank">Vanderbloemen Search Group</a> with the sole focus of helping connect the right ministries with the right key staff people.</p>
<p>The cool thing about this season in my ministry life is that I have the capacity to partner along side William and team to help churches find the right creative, worship, music, production, key roles on their staff.  You can check out the <a href="http://www.vanderbloemensearch.com/" target="_blank">website</a> to see if your church could use the firms services in finding that right match for you!<br />
Let me know if you have any questions!!!<br />

<p>A good buddy of mine from my Sandals days is working with Logos and is letting me give away an iPod Touch on this blog to make you aware of their slick new Bible app.  So I’m giving away a free iPod Touch and making you aware of their slick new iPhone Bible Study  App: <a href="http://www.logos.com/iphone" target="_blank">Logos Bible  Software iPhone App</a></p>
<p>Launched only four months ago, the Logos iPhone App just passed 100,000 downloads last week and has no sign  of slowing down. A free download from the App Store, Logos Bible Software  app is more than just a Bible reader. It lets you read, search, cross  reference, compare versions, and even set up reading plans to keep your daily Bible reading on schedule.</p>
<p>Here are some  interesting stats from the app’s first four months:</p>
<ul>
<li>There are over 25,000 users weekly</li>
<li>Peak usage is at 8:00 AM PST on Sundays</li>
<li>74% of users are on an iPhone, 26% on iPod touch</li>
<li>&#8220;love&#8221; is the most common search term</li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone with the <a href="http://www.logos.com/iphone" target="_blank">Logos iPhone app</a> may instantly  access around 30 Bibles and signing up for a free account gives you access to an additional 31 Bible study resources for a richer app  experience—all without spending a dime.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.logos.com/iphone" target="_blank">Download the app now</a>, and next time you rush out the door, you’ll have at least 30 Bibles in your pocket!<br />
Head on over to <a href="http://www.logos.com/iphone" target="_blank">www.logos.com/iphone</a> for more details.</p>
<p><strong>So how do you win the iPod Touch?</strong> Just leave a tweet about this post and <a href="http://www.ragamuffinsoul.com/2010/03/free-logos-bible-software-iphone-app-ipod-touch-giveaway/" target="_self">leave a comment</a> to enter the giveaway. At the end of the month, I’ll select a comment at random for a winner.</p>
<p><strong>Already have an iPhone or iPod Touch?</strong> You are still welcome to enter the giveaway, but download the free <a href="http://www.logos.com/iphone" target="_blank">Logos Bible Software iPhone App</a> now, and start doing Bible study anywhere.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ragamuffinsoul.com/2010/03/free-logos-bible-software-iphone-app-ipod-touch-giveaway/" target="_self">Who’s already using this App?</a></p>

<div>Los,</div>
<div>I just got this email from some missionaries in Nicaragua.  Our  church provides for two safe houses in Managua.  These missionaries get  children that live in the city dump with their parents and put them in  &#8220;safe houses&#8221;.  They are then able to provide food, clothing, shelter,  education and spiritual instruction.  They also provide medical care for  the people (about 2000 people) who live in the dump.  If you have not  given your <span>iPhone</span> away yet I would take it to  them when we go March 20 if you were willing to give it to me.  Here is  the email I got:</div>
<div><em>Robert,</em><em>I don’t’ know if anyone in your church has  upgraded their <span>iphone</span> and have their old one  sitting around.  But if you do, we would like to buy it.  We can unlock  them down here.</em></p>
<p><em>The reason is Elizabeth works in the dump  making nursing rounds three days a week attending to pregnant moms and  new borns as well as random sicknesses.  She keeps data on three  different sources (photo, med, gen. info) and the <span>iphone</span> would help her to consolidate it.   It would be a HUGE blessing!</em></p>
<p><em>I know it is late notice, but if you could put the word out in the  church….we will buy it for the going rate.  It doesn’t matter which  generation <span>iphone</span>.</em></p>
<p><em>Thanks Roberto,<br />
Chris<br />
</em></div>
