Inside Today’s Experiences

August 17, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Another great week…the move to 2 Experiences couldn’t have started out better.
  • Had a bigger crowd this week at 9:15 and a slightly smaller crowd at 10:45 than last week.  Altogether though it added up to be the second highest attended day we’ve had!
  • Had one more person give there life to Christ today!
  • I was reminded the other night that we are truly a part of something special.  That is now nearly 90 professions of faith this year!
  • My goal is still to have at least 365 in a year so we can duplicate the early church in the book of Acts where it says, “The Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
  • So far the execution of the Experiences and the transition time in between has been running very smooth.
  • The 9:15 Experience was way better than the 10:45.
  • I think unlike last week where I was so pumped up, I had a letdown after the first one today and didn’t get back into the right frame of mind.
  • I know this because adrenaline always forms in the body at your weakest spot once you’re done with it.
  • For me that’s my back…usually after speaking I feel immense pain in my back.
  • Today it started coming before the 10:45 started so I know that in the future, I need to keep it flowing between Experiences.
  • In any case, right now my back is killing me…please pray…it will go away by the end of the day, but right now it’s excruciating.
  • I’m posting the recording from 9:15 since it was better.
  • The popcorn machine was working better today as well…tasted good.  Thanks to Jeremy B. for running this…great will your popcorn reward be in heaven!
  • Gayle used my mic for VBS this week.  Her ear is shaped weird!  When I first put it on the mic almost pointed straight to the ceiling.
  • For those of you who think maybe it’s my ear…her husband said, “No it’s her.”
  • I though Andrea did a great job leading the Foo Fighters song, My Hero.
  • Some might ask…why do you do secular songs like that?
  • The answer is simple…we’re reconditioning your brain to now hear that song on the radio in a new way.
  • Next time you hear it, hopefully you’ll think of Hancock and how to defeat loneliness.
  • Can’t wait for next week!  Get Smart was a hilarious movie and I think the lesson I pulled out of it will not only surprise you but help you become more Christ-like.
  • Don’t forget to add some comments/thoughts in our forums section.
  • Time for some food then a nap.
  • Tonight we’ll get together with some friends for dinner….hmmm…think I heard somewhere that that is a good idea.
