Passionately Following Jesus
8 days…and Hailey Elizabeth (Stallone) Carnes will be here. The surgery date was moved up from Thursday, July 24th to Tuesday, July 22nd, which I know Nicki is excited about. Thank you for any and all prayers that everything will go smoothly. My prayer for 9 months has been that Hailey will be born completely healthy and completely whole, and that she would be smart and beautiful…selfish I know! 🙂
Join the Conversation, What’s the next big thing you are looking forward to in your Life?
Why write a blog if you don’t want anyone to read what you write, right?
My community group had fun with me last night, because on several occasions, I have actually blogged about a topic that we were discussing and as I shared my view and opinion on the matter, I told the group that they could read more about my opinion at www.nickcarnes.com – Now its the big joke. Whenever I start to talk someone throws out nickcarnes.com, in fact I don’t even think they refer to me as Nick anymore, but rather, Hey Nickcarnes.com. They have told me to have t-shirts made to wear around, but I think I am going with the $4.99 car magnets from Vistaprint.com.
(You can order some too and give me free advertising 
So maybe I am a little bit of a self-promoter, ok a major self promoter, but I told my group I would give them some free advertising, so here goes, a shout out to Kieth and Alexia Larson, Eben and Cathy Gray, Shane and Diana Padgett (the coolest couple I know), and Ford Hatcher (who drives a Chevy).
Are you a self-promoter? For good reasons or bad?
Do you Twitter?
You should. You can follow me HERE – There are some other great church leaders and pastors who I follow you can grab them from my profile if you are not following them already! Twitter is a simple platform that allows you to update what you are doing throughout the day, as well as to start conversation, in short form, its not another blog, its for short simple statements. Check it out!
P.S. Help my man Andy Brazelton out by following Doug Fields – Even if you don’t know who Doug is (He’s the Youth Ministry Pope). Andy bet him a lunch that Doug would have at least 1,000 twitter followers by the end of the month if he started to twitter.
I updated my Family Page…the Contacts Page…and the Downloads Page!
I’ve still got to update the links page, which is going to take a little time if I go with the graphic look as I did here.
Other than that, I have to purchase the Domain mapping, change my DNS, and I’ll be ready to transition my old blogger blog and my website into my new WordPress account here. I’ll keep you updated when the transition takes place! I’m excited 🙂
I am in the process of converting my personal website (www.nickcarnes.com) and my personal blog (nickcarnes.blogspot.com) into one easy application with Word Press.
Word Press allows me to create multiple pages with their blog application as well as a page for posts, so it will make it easy to integrate both sites into one.
