Sunday Night Mind Dump

Mind Dump — Gary on January 27, 2008 at 4:21 pm
  • FUN and INTENSE service today!
  • It was fun to have service again!!!
  • Lot’s of new people. Lot’s of new people leaving with their jaws dropped after the message. :)
  • Anytime you have an excuse to play Keep Your Hands To Yourself by The Georgia Satellites it is a fun day.
  • I was as open and as honest as I have EVER been today. It actually made me uncomfortable, but I think it was a message that was needed.
  • We had about a 65/35 split between the two services today. Considering we are normally about 85/15, I’ll take it.
  • Even with all the new people moving to the first service, we were about 80% full in the second service.
  • Patrick had someone who reads my blog attend his first service today. My understanding is they use to live in Canton and read my blog. But they didn’t attend Revolution when they lived in Canton. Shame on them. :)
  • VERY nice having a sound consultant in the service today. I think there was a big difference in the sound. Our guys are all new and sold out and with a little more experience they are going to be great.
  • The theater manger called and said someone named Wendy grabbed my Bible today. Thanks Wendy! If you read this blog, I need that before Sunday. :)
  • We had a lot of people talking about the Unleash Conference today. If you want to go, we’ll pay your way. Simply hit the CONTACT button at the top of the blog and sign up.
  • I am gone Wednesday and Thursday this week at a pastor’s roundtable. This group of pastors is actually going to meet 3-4 times this year. I am looking forward to it.
  • One more week of our Confessions Of A Pastor series. It has been a great series, but I am sick of confessing. I want to get back to pointing everyone else’s faults out, not mine. :)
  • I hear rumors of a Guitar Hero tournament at ChurchPlanters.com Conference. Interesting…..
  • I’ve got postal workers in Acworth, Canton, and Cumming. I love getting the scoop on what other churches are doing in terms of marketing. :)
  • As I walked around today, it literally seemed like everyone in our church either had a newborn or was pregnant.
  • I preached on Staying Sexually Pure Is Hard Work today. I told the church I was thinking of calling the message, I like boobs. I guess there is a shirt that says that and I only had about 15 people tell me they were getting me one. Only at Revolution.
  • We are trying to improve our children’s area to help it get to the next level. We have some great volunteers in that area and next we have a consultant coming so I am excited about that!!!! That area is to important to not run awesome.
  • I am thinking we are going to take our entire staff over to Mountain Lake next Sunday night just to see someone else in action.
  • Brian is coming over tonight to help us train our dog. He trained K9’s in the military. He is multi-talented. He works security and will shoot you on Sunday morning and trains dogs at night. :)
  • We got a lot of stuff to move this week out of all our storage places. NOT fun.
  • I love the excitement our Jasper crowd has. They are ready to get started!!!!!!
  • Have you seen the new Revolution signs around town? They look great!
  • A ton of pastors in town are now blogging. I like reading them and it makes me laugh as I read their blogs and they are acting nothing like they are in real life. Guys, just be yourself!!!
  • Next week you can start signing up to help us put on the biggest Easter egg hunt in the history of Cherokee County.
  • I am trying to work in a road trip where I can go hang out with Perry for a day and with Steven for a day. Things are jus so busy it is hard to get away.
  • It is weird not have football on today.
  • Today was a GREAT example of why we don’t allow children in our services.
  • Get your friends to church this week!!! If they are skeptics and doubt God, this will be the message for them!
  • Anyone got any good music they are listening to?
  • I’m going to play Guitar Hero with Ashlyn. See ya!
