Good Stuff

Aaron Marcelli | August 12, 2010

The summer is slowly coming to a close and hopefully the Georgia weather will return to somewhat bearable (still can’t believe these people don’t believe in global warming). My wife and I had some really good and necessary conversations about our future this past weekend.  Before such conversations have been somewhat heated but this weekend [...]

Why I Share My Message

Aaron Marcelli | August 10, 2010

I’m going to take a break from the Nehemiah, leadership posts, as fourteen in a row of those may turn away those who are not as motivated by the idea of leadership as I am.  (And if you would not consider yourself a leadership-type, I would encourage you to read this post I did on [...]

Why I’m Waiting

Aaron Marcelli | July 24, 2010

“So where are you guys at?” is a question I feel is being asked of us a lot lately as we have become more open about church planting.  At times I’m tempted to hang my head, almost ashamed, as I have to confess to others that we are not that far in or we do [...]

Be Like LeBron (And Make People Mad)

Aaron Marcelli | July 9, 2010

Writing a blog post about Lebron James got me a lot of hits and comments earlier so I might as well ride that train again.  Last night on ESPN “The King” broke the hearts of everyone in my home state of Ohio when he announced that he would be moving to Miami to play with [...]

It’s All About Position

Aaron Marcelli | June 29, 2010

Yes, yes I know that the title of this post is a complete contradiction to the title and message of my last post.  I write this post though because I have seen and experienced much that leads me to believe that in many businesses, churches, and even families, it is all about position! Of course [...]

Church Planting Update And A Conference

Aaron Marcelli | June 8, 2010

Last weekend Katy and I finished our church planting school.  Thanks to all of you who have sent encouraging emails and messages via facebook! Though we are still early in the game, we are being aggressive in pursuing any opportunities that could get us into Chattanooga or having us better prepared once we get there.  [...]

Thoughts On Being Married

Aaron Marcelli | May 13, 2010

If anyone needs marriage counseling, feel free to give me a call.  I mean, I’ve been married for almost two weeks so I’m pretty much an expert now. In case you were unable to join us, we had a wonderful wedding day.  We broke a lot of unwritten wedding rules by seeing each other and [...]

Just

Aaron Marcelli | May 8, 2010

Oh, so you’re just single?  You’re just eighteen?  You’ve got just an associates degree?  You’re just a volunteer? Ever heard any of these?  I’m sure I’ve heard more “just phrases” than I realize.  I noticed it the other day while at the dentist though.  As he was cleaning my teeth he began to make small [...]

Help Me Develope A Message To Promote My Book (part 2 – guilt)

Aaron Marcelli | April 7, 2010

As I mentioned in my last post, I am giving away a free copy of my book to a random selection from all those who leave comments on any post from this two week series about the contents of my book.  I hope to hear your comments today regarding the subject of guilt. If you’ve [...]

Good Enough

Aaron Marcelli | March 30, 2010

When I talk about pursuing church planting, I always tell others how I was horribly scared and confused when I began thinking about the idea.  Some of those feelings make since for such a large project and some of them should continue.  Others, however, I think were just a result of feeling lost, overwhelmed, and [...]
