Random Thoughts

  • I thought Ryan McAllister did an excellent job filling the pulpit this weekend - he's a great preacher. His message on gossip/sin hit a cord and many people responded. I think he set the tone perfectly for our upcoming series on temptation.
  • The Holy Spirit was working big time on a number of people this weekend and I was fortunate enough to see it.
  • I'm super excited about beginning our new series on temptation called, "Wait". I think what will learn together has the potential to alter our lives in a big way.
  • The http://www.simplywait.com/ website will be updated much more often beginning this week.
  • I'm sitting here watching the HGTV Dream Home giveaway. I registered to win this home religiously. I'm going to be bummed if I don't get a knock at more door tonight and see a television crew. I wouldn't mind having a vacation home in Florida on the beach in the Florida Keys ;-) You can come over if I win; we can chill listening to the ocean waves eating key lime pie and sipping on sweet tea.

  1. I also enjoyed Ryan's message yesterday and I really think that what happened with people this weekend is only the begining of something big that is going to be taking place here. How weird was it for you not to be up there during the message or did you even think about it?

  2. Derek,

    I really enjoyed not having to focus on delivering a message. It was a different worship experience for me because I wasn't thinking about delivering the message.

    It's really good for me to take "my hands off of the 'pulpit'" and to be reminded that God can move with or without me, (obviously as we saw this weekend).
