• GREAT DAY TODAY!
• I enjoyed being back on stage teaching!
• I am still on Vegas time. I came out during the first service like a bat out of hell and crashed like crazy during the second service.
• First service has turned into a service that will preach the mess out of you. They clap and amen to everything. I love it!
• Enjoyed having Joel leading worship today, they did a GREAT job and I love Joel, but I have to admit I am partial to Tim and Thad when it comes to leading worship at Revolution.
• Rock Star was a GREAT series, but I am glad it is over and I am ready to start Prison Break next week!
• Prison Break is going to be a series where a lot of people deal with some issues that have been holding them back from being all that God wants them to be
• I have been out of town this past two weeks and I am supposed to be out of town this week but I’m not going to make it due to some things that have popped up.
• Tomorrow we start implementing the things we discussed on our staff retreat. It is going to make us so much more effective, but I have learned that any transition is difficult and these changes will be the most uncomfortable for me personally
• I have sat around the office today thinking about our staff and evaluating the job they do. They are far from perfect, but Revolution is blessed to have them serving here.
• Not only is Revolution blessed, but I am blessed to have a crew that is talented, loyal, and has total buy-in on our vision.
• I know this sounds weird, but I don’t think I have ever had a more team bonding time then last week when Adam, Preston, Tim and I all got tattoos together. It is something I will always remember. If that isn’t a sign of brotherhood, commitment, and even a little stupidity, I don’t know what is.
• I find it funny that I have had several emails from people lecturing me about getting a tattoo. Listen, it isn’t that big of a deal. You live life once. Trust me, it is fine.
• Thad and Jill put an offer in on a house. Guess we are stuck with them and I couldn’t be happier. They are going to do great things at Revolution…..even if Thad doesn’t have a tattoo. They are an awesome couple and they are going to do great things at Revolution.
• I keep getting asked about us launching a campus in Jasper. Here is the deal: We ARE committed to reaching Jasper. We are sold out to reaching Jasper. We are going to rock Jasper with the message of Jesus Christ. When God opens the door for us to go there, we are ready. At this time that door has not opened.
• There is a possibility that a door could be opening in Hickory Flat though……
• What about buying land? If that door opens we will walk through it, but if it takes land to grow a church your vision is wrong. I’ll let the other guys in town spend their time looking for land. We’ll stick with reaching people.
• What about building out a warehouse? Again, I would love a warehouse just like I would love land, but that door isn’t open at this time. If it opens, I’ll be the first one through it.
• Looks like we are going to be looking for a worship intern this summer to come in some during the week and on Sundays. I’ll post more this week about what we are looking for, but if you are interested contact Tim at tim@therevolution.tv
• We are also looking at worship leaders who want to come in on Sunday mornings and lead worship. We’ll be hiring another worship leader in the late fall/early winter and we are going to use the next several months to really look for the right fit. We are looking for a guy who loves Jesus, who can rock, who can lead people in worship and wants to be part of Revolution, not just lead worship anywhere he gets the chance. Interested in leading at Revolution, contact Tim and he will see if you pass the test.
• Watched the movie Walk The Line AGAIN last night. Love Johnny Cash.
• Now I am at the office listening to Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison. Charlie, that would make a good Sunday Night Unwind for you.
• I’m ready to go back to Vegas….this time with DeAnna.
• Back on the bike this week. I want to get in some pretty good miles. Might shoot for 100, but not sure if I can handle that many miles or find the time to get them all in.
• Tim is taking a lot of new things on his plate here at Revolution and I love it! Tim is a great leader and about as loyal and sold out to Revolution as you can be. He is going to be taking a lot of stuff of my plate. The only negative about it is he isn’t going to be able to take the new stuff on and still lead worship every week. Don’t worry though because he’ll still be leading on a very regular basis.
• THANK YOU to all of you who moved to the first service today! We had a very good crowd in the first service which was good because we were still about 80% full in the second service.
• We are going to be adding a THIRD service very soon in ANOTHER theater which means double the set-up. What amazes me about that is I haven’t heard ONE compliant from our people. Instead I see our volunteers all talking with each other about how to make it happen. It honestly overwhelms me how much they get IT. Amazing.
• Sunday nights are turning into Family Night at the Lamb house.  Tonight after I leave the house it is pizza and The Bee Movie.  Should be fun.
• I’m heading home so time to wrap this thing up!
