Inside Today’s Experience

March 30, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • What an awesome weekend!
  • I’ll catch you up on some of the other happenings tomorrow…trust me it was a full weekend.
  • Gotta say that even though nothing terrible went wrong today, it just didn’t feel like we were clicking on all cylinders.
  • Oh well, despite all that many people are excited about this series and expressed how much they’re looking forward to hearing more.
  • We had a new sound tech today that Andy was training and he did a great job.  Way to go Chris!
  • Since our board is digital and also wireless, Andy was able to monitor how Chris was doing and make changes if necessary via his Tablet PC. 
  • Sort of like the student driver cars that also have a brake pedal on the passenger side.
  • Now really a lot to report it was just a pretty typical Sunday morning getting ready other than the fact that I woke up at 5:30am instead of my normal 7:00.
  • I was joking afterwards that if I’m going to have to bring out my own stool and table, maybe I deserve a pay raise.  I thought it was weird that I didn’t see an usher backstage right before I went out…and then when I was praying I looked behind me to see if one was coming and then I thought “Oh well I’ll have 30 seconds during the intro video, I’ll just do it myself.”
  • I know who it was that forgot and the last time he made a mistake he beat himself up about it.  I know he reads the blog and so without naming who it was let me say, “______, sleep well, no biggie!”
  • Seriously all week long I was praying about not falling off the stage during the part where I was standing right on the edge.  I’ve never been so thankful to be done a part of the message in my life.
  • Ralph Pisle asked me after the Experience if I was still the same size I was in the 5th grade track story.   Funny guy that Ralph…funny guy!  🙂
  • At lunch Andy and Gayle both had funny things to share…Andy thought I was saying margarine instead of margin…he asked if next week is about Parkay.  Gayle said, hey why is it that all the stuff you mentioned (dance, soccer, etc.) are things my kids are involved in?  My simple response…we don’t have kids…where do you think I get my kid stories from? 
  • This may not make sense to you, but Earl and I park in the spots that are as far from the building as possible.  Last week he parked in the spot I’ve been in every week since we moved to the new building.  Today I was back in my spot and all felt right in the universe.
  • Got CAYA tonight and then we’re going out as a group to eat…should be fun…check back tomorrow for the rest of the weekend highlights and um-not-so highlights.
