Inside Today’s Experiences

July 27, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • As I shared in today’s message, today is my 15th year spiritual birthday!
  • The devil did everything he could though to spoil it.
  • As I mentioned earlier in the week, we had real issues on Thursday night with the sound system.  This morning Andy came in early to fix it…when you hear him say, “Oh that’s not good” you know you have real problems.
  • As he was working on that, I noticed that we had a major load being placed on our power throughout the church.
  • It was causing one of our main spots to flicker on and off.
  • Once Andy got things semi-working again, I reprogrammed all the light scenes to exclude the “bad” light.
  • Lots of other minor things were happening so I was emotionally shot.
  • Never really felt the Experience got into a groove today.
  • I knew that my message was going to be long today, but it seemed to go in slow motion.
  • I hope even in my sluggishness that the message came through loud and clear…God wants to use us to make a difference and He’s doing it in a very unique way.
  • The CAYA picnic was a lot of fun, although I missed the hotdog eating contest.
  • Congrats to Dirk Detweiler who won!
  • When I got there I asked if anyone had thrown up…everyone just pointed to a pile of vomit on the ground.
  • Ewww gross…and yep you guessed it…no one was in a hurry to clean it up so I walked back to the building to get the supplies to do it.
  • Great lunch…great people…fun games and yes, I did win for weirdest picture on your cell phone and knowing the lyrics to an MC Hammer song.
  • Uhh, just gotta say, “Can’t Touch This.”
  • Dirk’s wife, Becky was the winner of the $100 gas card.
  • Tonight is the normal CAYA meeting and then we’re officially on vacation.
  • Looking forward to spending uninterrupted time with Lisa for a week and then getting back to kick-off the 2 Experiences and the God at the Box Office series.
  • Don’t forget to keep inviting people!
