Sunday Night Mind Dump

  • It was great to be back teaching today!
  • It has been a long time since I left the stage feeling like I dropped the ball, but I did today.  For whatever reason, I just couldn’t get in the flow of the message.
  • Glad I have a promise that God’s Word will not come back void. Even when I am not clicking, God’s word is still God’s word.
  • I am loving our Pirates series!!!!!! It seems to be connecting big time with the people of Revolution.
  • We had to add a SECOND class to hold all the people who are wanting to go to the Financial Seminar with Joe Sangl!!!!! That is awesome!
  • I am pumped up about our volunteer appreciation party this Friday night. If you are not signed-up, there is still time. Email Preston and let him know you are coming at preston@therevolution.tv.
  • My calendar is slammed this week!!!!
  • Again, I am asking for your prayers about our Jasper campus. HOPEFULLY, we are going to nail down a location on Tuesday. The location is GREAT and the price is right, we just have to figure out build-out (yes, I said build-out!!!!!).
  • Seriously, I don’t feel like I know the names of half of the people in our church! We have a ton of new people.
  • Had some of our people email me some pictures of some crazy people at a concert last night that said they were going to hell because they were at the concert. People are nuts!
  • Had lunch with Chris Elrod today. I think we are going to make him an honorary member of Revolution. He’s hung out with us about 3 times now and the dude just makes me laugh!
  • I rode 27 miles today. Holy crap, that was way hard! I can’t believe how much I am loving being on the road, looking at God’s creation and not worrying about email and cell phones.
  • Did I mention how hard 27 miles was?  About 5 miles of it was straight up a hill and I didn’t think I could make it.
  • Love hearing stories from other pastors about those who make up Revolution. I have about 3 local pastors who are always running into our people and I love it when they share stories with me. I love our crazy people!
  • I don’t think I have ever been around a group of people who buy into their church as much as the people of Revolution do. I’ve learnd there is not middle ground with us. You either LOVE us or you HATE us. :)
  • I joke all the time that somone should do a reality show about Revolution. I would never allow it, but it would make good TV.
  • It hit me today that neither one of my children have ever been part of a church with a “real” building. They have been part of churches meeting in a SDA church, one meeting in a high school gym, one meeting in a lunchroom, and one meeting in a movie theater. We have some interesting things brewing with BOTH of our locations and IF they happen, they will add to their streak of not meeting in a “real” location. I think it is kind of cool.
  • Tom Brady scored 50 fantasy points today AGAINST my team.  I have won 1 game this year.
  • I need to get away a few days and plan how we are going to get all the new faces connected.
  • I love seeing all the kids running around church dressed like pirates!!!!!
  • Got a meeting in the morning with a local pastor that I really like.  For some reason, I’m known as the pastor that hates all the other pastors in town.  The fact is, I love the other pastors in our town and pray for them daily.  If there is one area God has grown me in since we started Revolution it is in the area of celebrating what God is doing at other churches.  We are on the same team and I love to hear stories of how God is blessing them.
  • Georgia plays Florida this Saturday.  Man, we need to win that stinking game.
  • I heard this the other day and it has stuck with me:  First time guests are a gift from God.
  • Malcolm and Amy were at Life Church in Nashville today.  Can’t wait to hear what they learned.
  • I’m going to watch football.
