• GREAT day today!!!!
• Loving the vibe in the church right now!
• Loving the Rock Star series!!!!!!
• The Band was as good as I have ever heard them today!
• It was cool seeing Harvey back on guitar today! I miss that dude.
• It was nice not having spring break the week after Easter. That is a first for us!
• We are going to add a third service this fall if we can hold out. We will have to do it in another theater and stagger start times. Probably 9:00, 9:45 (in another theater), and 10:30. The band will leave the stage, go to the next theater and start the next service while I am preaching in the first, and on and on. Sound crazy? I am sure it is but I refuse to allow space to stop us from growing. When a service is 75% full it stops growing and we have been that way in our second service for a while.
• We MIGHT even change the worship style for the middle service. Still praying through that one. If we changed it, it would probably be an unplugged worship set and the first and last service would stay like they are now.
• TONS of new people around Revolution!
• Today was as close as I have ever come to not preaching right before the service. I didn’t think I was going to make it, but God brought me through.
• I took a 4 hour nap when I got home.
• I am in the cycling mode right now!
• The band was insane today!
• Thad had the student service rocking tonight. GREAT start!
• I’m in sushi mode right now!
• Can’t believe we are tackling Revelation next week. Jesus is coming back and we’re going to show what He is going to do when he gets back! Should be fun!
• Multi-site Exposed Conference in Seattle is in two weeks!!! Looking forward to heading up there with our Lead Team.
• Rumor has it our Lead Team is getting matching Tattoos. Everyone seems game but Thad who is scared of what Jill will do to him. What a wuss.
• I think I am going to go check out West Ridge Church when I have a Sunday off. Haven’t been to a Sunday service since they moved into their new building.
• I am LOVING watching the leader that Adam is becoming. I love the dude, trust the dude, and seeing him take his leadership to the next level is cool.
• I know Ben’s new job. No, I am not telling.
• We have a TON of school teachers at Revolution and I know they are ready for this week to be over and for spring break to start! They need the break and they deserve the break!
• God is doing some cool things at Revolution in us reaching different races. The fact is that Canton is 95% anglo, but that is quickly changing and I am glad that Revolution is reflecting that change.
• I actually had an area pastor “warn” me when we started the church about being careful about allowing “to many black people” in our church because he said Canton people wouldn’t like that. What an idiot. I guess those people won’t like Heaven either.
• Thought of the week: “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, tell others how to do it”
• A pastor I use to talk to quite often and really respected left his church three weeks ago with another women in the church. This week I found out he has started a consulting and coaching business for churches. Are you FREAKING kidding me??? Who would hire this guy? If you do, you should be shot.
• This guy must not have crazy friends like I do because if I left my wife for another woman, I have some people who would be kicking my tail. Seriously, I have some pastor friends who would literally beat the crap out of me.
• Membership Class is coming up!! If you are new to Revolution, this is the class for you. Contact Preston and sign up!
• Heard we were a cult today. Interesting. If that is the case, I need a raise. I thought cult leaders made a lot of money.
• I’m fried. Seriously, I am as tired as I have ever been. I am taking a couple of days off this week.
• We have had weirdos in the service three weeks in a row. Thank God for our security team. People are just loony.
• I’m loving this series, but I am getting VERY excited about our Prison Break series that starts at the end of the month!
• I’m going to bed.
