Inside Today’s Experience

December 12, 2010 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Weird day…
  • For the first time since we launched, I wasn’t speaking so my energy level was a lot lower.
  • Also, for the first time it rained on a Sunday so putting out signs this morning was not a lot of fun.
  • Just for fun I downloaded a pedometer app for my phone to see how much I walk on a Sunday morning.
  • The answer for today was 0.9 miles.
  • A lot of that is on the stairs…see church planting is good for your physical health.
  • Mental health…mmm not so much.
  • I also took the extra time today to shoot a bunch of pictures and video so hopefully I can put together some promo videos soon.
  • It’s amazing how much you can shoot and most of it’s not good at all…blurry, bad lighting, bad facial expression, etc.
  • Got some good stuff though that hopefully I can use.
  • I also used the opportunity to serve in and observe some areas that I normally don’t get to.
  • Spent a lot of time out in the parking lot being a greeter.
  • They liked me out there because they said the weather was better when I was there.
  • I also got to spend time in our ECTV Kids Theater and observe Chelsea and her crew leading the kids.
  • Awesome!  The kids environment is a lot of fun and the kids where really into it.
  • Also, got to sit in for some of Chad’s message…let me just say those theater seats are incredible…how do people stay awake during my messages?
  • Chad did a great job talking about how to handle unrealistic expectations many have during the holidays.
  • So great to have him and the entire Chute family be a part of ExponentialChurch.tv.
  • I got a sneak peek at his message earlier this week and he said, “Oh don’t worry when I bust the picture frame with the hammer, it will only create a crack in the glass”.
  • Uh…no it shattered!  Great sound though and very dramatic.  Sounds good on the recording as well!
  • It was nice to have a break, but I can’t wait for next week’s message on how to deal with family pressures and tension.
  • Since my week was different this past week, part of my time was spent re-doing the web-site.
  • It still was more geared towards the launch and I wanted to start getting it switched over.
  • Still need to add a section that talks about our ministries and I want to have a section that highlights stories of life-change, but I didn’t have time for all that this week.
  • Also, some sections still need more content, but you’ll get the basic gist.
  • In any case, check out the changes, let me know if you see any mistakes, or broken links, and make suggestions of how we can serve you and others better through the site.
  • Have a great week!
