Sunday Night Mind Dump…

These are simply thoughts running through my head that one day I can look back at remember where I was mentally during this time.

• Today was as much fun as I have ever had pastoring RSC.
• Let me say it again: Today was a freaking blast!
• We baptized 81 people!
• We dedicated 22 babies!
• ch-ch-ch-changes are coming to The Stone. They are going to be awesome!
• God is laying an audible on my heart for this Sunday. If I get peace about it, I will be talking to the church about some things God has been doing to me and sharing what it means to RSC. If I do it, we won’t be recording it because I want to share my heart with our church family ONLY.
• Taylor was a beautiful bride yesterday!
• Chris was a very hairy groom yesterday!
• I’m camping in the yard with the kids tonight. They will have a blast, I will have a blast because they are having a blast.
• Ridge Stone Rocks starts this week!
• My mind is stil spinning from the pastor roundtable I was at last week.
• You ever had a friend email you and tell you some things God told them to tell you? I had that happen Friday and I have read the email about 15 times and my wife read it and thought it was great. I am taking every word of it to heart and it is going to change me as a leader.
• I’m taking some Sundays off this summer to recharge my mind. I love teaching but my mind is fried.
• I’m done dwelling on those who don’t get IT. 700 people come on a Sunday and I dwell on 1 negative comment by someone who wouldn’t be happy anywhere, anytime, and listening to anyone. I am the king of dwelling on idiots who don’t get IT. That is over and won’t be happening anymore.
• I’m done letting people steal my joy. Sounds cheesy but I’m over listening to negative people.
• It was hot outside doing church today!
• I’m realizing all Christians aren’t bad.
• I want to see Pirates 3 again. Yes, I thought it was that good.
• I’m heading to Elevation Church soon. That is going to be fun!
• I’m teaching at New Spring in July. That just seems crazy to me!
• I am praying for 25 volunteers who will commit to giving us 10-15 hours a week as volunteer staff.
• Every week someone at church thanks me that we are launching a site in Jasper. Very cool.
• I thought I dreamed BIG but you ain’t seen nothing yet!
• I am getting VERY specific in my prayer life lately.
• I find it funny that some people don’t get along or have bad experiences at EVERY church they attend or work at yet it is NEVER their fault they had a bad experience. People love to blame others.
• Got last nights UFC fight recorded and the guys are getting together at Adam’s tomorrow night to watch it! I already know Liddell last and that sucks.
• Speaking of Adam, he is THE man! Finally we have a guy who is rocking and rolling in our student area. The dude is going to do big things!
• I need some people to open up their homes for some students for an overnight thing we are doing.
• Summer means new move-ins. I look forward to the new people who will be coming to The Stone soon.
• I think some old faces are going to be back over the next few months. Call it a gut instinct.
• Jennifer Popp is a FREAK!!!!  Seriously, she pulled the entire lunch off almost by herself.  She backed 1000 cookies and cut up and wrapped 1000 brownies, got ALL the chips, and junk together.  She was amazing!
• As people were getting dunked today I almost lost it thinking of the different stories each of them have.  God has used The Stone to truly make an impact on lives of people.
• I have to set up a tent now.  If you know me that is NOT an easy task.
