Inside Today’s Experience

December 23, 2007 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • I really enjoyed the Experience today…great job everybody!
  • I’m really into the “Glory of it All” song…thought the team did great with it.
  • Missed Adam who had 4 wisdom teeth taken out on Friday…get well buddy.
  • Had another newbie in the tech department today…great job Laban!
  • I really like the lighting we used today as well…as usual those who spend many hours getting it set-up did an awesome job!
  • Wow it’s  hard to hear backstage…but from what I could hear it sounded like everyone enjoyed the tour of my crib.
  • Great to see 3 more people responding today to the Gospel message!
  • Thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts, food and money.  Hope you have a great Christmas!
  • Afterwards Andy’s brother who was visiting from DE, went outside to get in his car, but the key wasn’t working in the ignition.  He kept trying and finally gave up when a couple came up to him wondering what he was doing in their car!  Turns out they have the same vehicle, same color and apparently same door key.   
  • I couldn’t find a cap for my flash drive afterwards, but figured it show up somewhere eventually.  I finally found it when I got home…a person who shall remain anonymous, had shut my laptop lip on top of it…now my laptop screen is broken….AHHHHHHHH!!!!!  I’m praying it’s an easy/inexpensive fix.
  • I stopped by Wal-mart on the way home and the woman in front of me at the self-checkout line apparently had just grabbed a bunch of stuff off the shelf and threw it in a cart not knowing whether she really wanted it or not.  Every item she would hold up, consult with her kids or friends then decide whether to scan it or not.  The things she didn’t want got stuffed into candy rack…I’m talking clothes, underwear, kitchen utensils, etc.  Then her friend who had come up about half-way through this whole fiasco decided to butt in front of me and purchase her stuff.  her problem was she had never used the self-scan before and had to be walked through each step.  I just kept reminding myself that these ladies were someone for whom Jesus died, and if they mattered that much to Jesus then they had to matter to me.  Truthfully it’s amazing how much calmer you are in situations like that when you keep the proper perspective.
  • Tomorrow night should be great as we have our Christmas Eve Experience at 7PM.  It promises to be a great time of worship and even though we’re looking at the film Talladega Nights, I think you’ll be surprised by the deep theological point it makes.
  • If you can’t make the 7PM Experience, there will be two other services in the sanctuary at 5PM and 11PM.
  • Tonight we’ll go celebrate Christmas with some friends of ours and then tomorrow will be busy putting the final touches on the Christmas Eve services and packing for our trip to FL…see you tomorrow!
