Inside Today's Experience - Gilbert Thurston

Great Experience today!
Realized that all the people who help Lisa do set-up were away at the marriage conference.
They all have good marriages.
So the moral of the story is if you want to have a good marriage you need to help Lisa with set-up!
In any case, had quite a few people who came to help…thanks!
I told Andy to turn on the hazer and then we both went our separate ways. Oops we came back at about the same time and I thought the glory of God had filled the temple.
The haze was so thick we couldn’t even see the back screen…someone came in looking for Gayle and Andy said…”Uhh she’s up there somewhere.”
Luckily it lifted before we started.
The experiment with the acoustic set I thought went well.
It really connected with the Christians in the room, but in talking with some seekers afterwards they said they weren’t really into it.
It just goes to show that you’ve got to know who you’re trying to reach and keep things geared in that way.
So next week we’ll be back to normal…however, I want to figure out how to, on maybe a Saturday night, once a quarter or so have worship nights.
Yes, that was a terrible last sentence but you know what I mean.
Standing backstage we we’re running so quiet sound-wise that I could hear the kids over in the Children’s Worship Center singing. That was definitely a first.
I had forgotten that slow songs take so long…we were way behind…but it didn’t matter…God was definitely present and the team did an awesome job.
The one song was an original by Karl Hartman from the team…great job Karl!
During the week I didn’t feel good about the message but it all came together…I love when God does that.
Saw quite a few people crying during the video in the message…what an awesome video on perspective!
Ben Myers ran the computer for the first time himself today…great job Ben!
During lunch today we were showing some funny videos on our laptops and one of our friends was laughing so hard she puked her beverage out her nose…love when that happens!
Tonight we’ll get together with some friends while other friends of ours who shall remain nameless got tickets to see the Blue Man Group but not enough for all of us…oh well.
