– Today was insane! I don’t know what the count was, but even the first service felt full!
– We turned 7 today! We’re officially a 2nd grader!
– I am truly amazed that I get to do what I do. I was watching a guy today at a supermarket that looked depressed at work. I’m so glad that God called me to Pastor this church!
– This was a crazy week! Next week should be back to normal!
– Made to Stick was a great book! I’ll review it in the next couple of days.
– We had hundreds of people at our annual picnic. The outdoor Laser Tag was the hit of the party! It was a 90 minute wait to get a turn.
– My Wiffle ball tournament didn’t go so well for me. Let’s just say that my team’s fielding assisted to me giving up several UNearned runs 🙂 My curve ball was giving me nothing!
– I feel like I’m learning more now than I have at any other point in my life. God is teaching me a lot through other people and through the Word.
– Hanging with Gary this week was a lot of fun. His insistence on taking things over the top just adds to the excitement! (BTW, I did marry out of my league)
– Got to hang with a couple groups of Pastors this week. It showed me how much I didn’t know and how much I need to learn.
– Our Elevate series had a great kickoff! I’m so excited about what God is going to do!
– I pushed our staff pretty hard this week, but they came through big time! There’s no one on our staff that thinks in terms of 9-5. Ministry is a way of life for them! That’s the kind of people you want around you!
– We announced our next baptism for the 1st time today. What I was shocked to learn was that 30 people were already signed up and we hadn’t even announced it publicly yet!
– We’ve had the biggest response ever for groups! We’re at close to 70% of our Sunday attendance signed up! But a lot of people signed up today! So that number should be higher by week’s end.
– My Small Group starts this week. I’m really excited about it! I’m hanging with about 20 college-aged students. We’re going to study Chazown by Craig Groeschel. It should be fun.
– The Dolphins defense is killing me! Thanks for nothing! I need the Patriots to come up big tonight!
– The Red Sox pounded the Yankees on Saturday. After their pathetic display on Friday, they needed a big win! Let’s put them away tonight! The magic number is 9.
– My daughter is officially the most popular person in our church!
– Mark and the band were off the charts today! They make every song they play better than the original!
– I’m exhausted. I’m not as young as I used to be. 33 going to 93 🙂
