I am pumped about the new series that will be kicking off in 1 week at H2OChurch called "GHOST". Lifechurch.tv will be diving into a 4 week series on the Holy Ghost... We will also be doing some awesome life changing messages with our H2OKids. I am looking forward to see what God is going to do in this next series.

H2OChurch Fallapalooza!!!
I am pumped about what God is doing at H2OChurch and how He is moving in awesome ways. November 8th we are kicking off the Fall with a blast out at Cornerstone Kids Ranch. Everyone is welcome and there are so many things geared towards our H2OKids that it is going to be incredible. H2OChurch will also be having a meet and greet with our new pastor that has just joined our team Gary Lukens and his wife Lanita Lukens. We look forward to this awesome evening of fun and fellowship. Don't forget we are taking our Engage ministry students to the nightmare October 30th as well...
Have an awesome day,
Zac

Mastering time and Influencing the World- 5 Things I’ve learned about time, focus and eating frogs
Here are some awesome thoughts from a workshop I attended this past week...
It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? Henry David Thoreau Before you begin scrambling up the ladder of success, make sure it is leaning up against the right building.Steven Covey
A. Find your focus. You are designed such that you will enjoy doing the very things that you can be the very best at. Successful people are those who have taken the time to identify what they do well and most enjoy. What are you uniquely gifted in and passionate about doing that will affect the success of your organization? What can only you do?
B. Eat that frog!
Mark twain once said “If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing it is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day.”
1. 1st rule of frog eating- Eat the ugliest frog first. You should always focus your best energies and abilities on starting and completing those key tasks that your unique talents and abilities enable you to do well. These are the task that will make the most significant contribution to your organization. Your ability to select your most important task at each moment, then to get started on that task and to get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop.
2. Apply the 85/15 rule.
3. Delegate the tasks that someone else can do.
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. Carl Sandburg
C. Be a master Planner (and Calendar user)
1. Prioritize time with God, family and friends ahead of time, never letting people take that time.
2. Schedule large blocks of time
3. Discovering the time of day your mind works the best
4. Building space in your schedule- When your ambition ends with you, your ambition will end you. Ed Young
5. Plan to plan your week. (Every 10 minutes of planning will save you an hour of time)
D. Master email, don’t let it master you. 85/15 rule- 85% of constraints for you to achieve your goals are internal, within yourself. 15% are external.
1. Work offline, don’t lose your mind
2. Set times to check your email, etc.
3. Apply the 2 minute rulSet up folders, making sense of email
4. Train those around you and above you to give you space
5. Keep priorities straight with a task list
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time…. Being able to split up tasks and execute on them separates the men from the boys.
E. Keep priorities straight with a task list
