Sunday Night Mind Dump
Internet was down at the house all night so I wrote this last night, but I’m posting it on Monday.
- AWESOME service today! GREAT way to kick off Prison Break.
- Possibly one of the most powerful services we have ever had.
- It was raining and we were still packed out. We just keep breaking attendance records.
- I had been stewing on today’s message for a while and felt like it connected with a bunch of people.
- My prayer is some people wake up in the morning without their past hanging over their head as it has for a long time
- The best way to cast the vision of Revolution is the way we did today. I can talk about it all day long, but seeing Swift share his story and then perform his original song about how God has changed him was very very very cool.
- To be able to pass out a CD with his song on it at the end of the service was icing on the cake.
- If you weren’t at church today and didn’t get a copy of the music CD, you should have been there. It was a one week deal.
- Next week we are tackling the issue of addictions and I think it is going to be as powerful as today was.
- This week we are working HARD to close a deal that will give us some more space for worship. We should know something by Wednesday or Thursday so be praying HARD!
- To me it is funny how God does what He wants to do. I make plans and He loves to shoot those down and do His own thing. That is cool with me.
- Don’t forget we are filming our sermon for One Prayer this Thursday at The Warehouse at 7:00 p.m. You are more than welcome to join us. Matter of fact we would love for you to join us!
- Bon Jovi and Daughtry concert this week. I’m looking forward to it, but DeAnna is REALLY looking forward to it. She would leave me for Jon Bon Jovi. Not cool.
- I want another tattoo BAD. I figure I might as well go ahead and sleeve me right leg so that gives me about 2 more good size tattoos and some fill in stuff. I want to do something that shows my commitment to my marriage. I know far to many pastors who have zipper problems and I want a reminder not to blow it. I want the other one to be centered around THE revolutionary. We’ll see…
- I’m at the office working on next week’s message. There are times when you preparing a message you are just inspired and right now is one of those times!
- NFL Draft was decent. Not sure about the Falcon’s picks. Time will tell.
- We’ve got some great leads on worship leaders coming in to lead worship for us over the next few months. Know for sure we are bringing these two cats in: Josh Bayne and Kyle O’Neal.
- Heard Josh hates the song Beautiful Jesus so that is big time bonus points for me.
- If things happen this week like we hope, we will have to bring on a full-time worship leader no later than the fall. We might even need two.
- I heard a rumor that our old friend Ryan Fitzgerald is coming to help with our video shoot on Thursday. We tried to hire Ryan once and he turned us down. The fact that I still consider him a friend shows you how highly I think of him. Look forward to seeing him.
- Listening to Sixx: AM and their CD “The Heroin Diaries.” WOW! Powerful stuff. Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue started this band and this is basically his life story. GREAT stuff, Great lyrics, Great music, Great sound. Check out their myspace to hear a little of their stuff.
- Had a friend fall off the wagon today. Nothing makes me madder.
- I think it is funny that you won’t hear from people for months and in some cases you weren’t close to them in the first place, but when they are trying to raise money you suddenly get a letter in the mail. I better move on…..
- It is amazing all that hear. You would think as we get bigger, I wouldn’t still hear everything, but I do.
- I am not able to post to my blog at the office. Not sure why. It will let me get on, write the post, but when I hit “publish” it times out. I take my computer home and it works fine. Any ideas?
- I’m out.
