Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: June 2008
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. This ain't your Grandma's VBS! This past week our church had its annual VBS. This year was called POWER WEEK. We saw over 700 kids attend the week, and over 50 professions of faith in Christ! It was high impact, high energy, modern, entertaining, and - hold on, here it comes - EFFECTIVE! On top of all that, our Children's Minister has only been at our church for 4 months! I can't wait to see what he will do next year when he has a whole year under his belt. Monday, June 16, 2008.

Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: Texas Pee Wee Football
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008/10/texas-pee-wee-football.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. Texas Pee Wee Football. I am a native Tennessean. If you know me well, you know that I bleed Tennessee Orange for my Volunteers. Here lately, with the performance of our Football team, I have been bleeding A LOT! But that is not the purpose of this blog. My son, Brody, is 8 years old. Wait, he would remind me that he is 8 and a HALF years old - a fact that he will no doubt eliminate when he gets in his 30's. Yes, you heard me - tailgate! The only shame is that Mack Brown can't...

http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2009/01/rock-chalk-jayhawk.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. For the last week all I have heard ringing in my head is "Roooooooock, Chaaaaaaalk, Jaaaaaayhaaaaaak, Kayyyyyyyy, UUUUUUUUUUUUU! Coach Allen became a legendary basketball coach at Kansas and one of his players was some guy named Dean Smith. Dean Smith just happens to be one of the all time winningest coaches in basketball while he coached at North Carolina. Ok, enough of the history lesson! Roooooock Chaaaaaalk Jaaaaaayhaaaaaakk, Kayyyyyyy. UUUUUUUUU! Check out these web sites.

Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: Where Have I Been?!
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008/12/where-have-i-been.html
Thursday, December 4, 2008. Where Have I Been? Well, you get the idea. The good news is that my absolute favorite time of the year is now here - Christmas. For those of you who do not know. Christmas officially begins with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and ends at 12:01am January 2nd. Typically, I am somewhat depressed on January 2nd and 3rd, BUT. this year - not so! Oh yes - I will be wearing my Volunteer Orange and singing Rocky Top right in the middle of Fog Allen Fieldhouse on January 3rd.

Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: July 2008
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Monday, July 28, 2008. What in the World is Assimilation? It's inevitable. The conversation usually goes like this: "Hello Joe, my name is Bradley Thomas." Joe then says, "Hi Bradley, great to meet you. Are you on staff here at First Euless? Then I respond, "Why, yes Joe, I am! I don't really yell it, I just like to put exclamation points in sentences for emphasis! What do you do here, Bradley? But you get the picture. Thursday, July 17, 2008. And you felt at home.

Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: First Impression is the First Step
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-impression-is-first-step.html
Friday, September 12, 2008. First Impression is the First Step. One major aspect of the Assimilation ministry of any church is the first impression that people receive when they immediately drive into your church parking lot. At that moment, customer service is in high gear. Now some people would say, "This is church, this ain't Wal-Mart, they should want to be here." Well, grumpy old man, keep saying that and then wonder why your church doesn't attract new people. 2 Treat everyone they way you would wan...

Deep Thoughts in a Fast Food World: You scored a 9.2575!
http://bradleysthomas.blogspot.com/2008/08/you-scored-92575.html
Thursday, August 21, 2008. You scored a 9.2575! Ok, I am not going to forget my promise on writing about Assimilation Ministry. I will tackle that when I get back from vacation. I am sticking to the age old rule that while on vacation, you can't think about work. Don't get me wrong, I love my work and what we do in ministry, but I need to "check out" every year and re-charge my batteries. Let them wrestle for it right in the middle of the floor exercise mat. Can you imagine it? Xen Ho We is down! I can't...
