More Weekend Thoughts

March 10, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • I’m feeling much better today…could have to do with the new pool table that was installed today though.
  • Seriously this is the first day in a few weeks that I haven’t felt the need for an afternoon nap. Ok, check that…it’s the first day in awhile that I’m not taking an afternoon nap.
  • I won the CAYA tennis tournament last night! Seriously this time I’m not lying…I really won…in fact I didn’t lose a single game.
  • Thank you all so much for the cards, e-mails, e-cards, notes and words of sympathy following my grandmother’s death…it means a lot to know you care and that you are praying.
  • I’ll be leaving after I’m finished with this post to go spend a little time with my grandfather in the hospital. His recovery has been rough considering everything that’s going on…please keep him especially in your prayers.
  • Some time I’m going to do a series called “Confessions of a Pastor.” I know of other pastors who have done something similar and it’s always shocking for people to hear what the pastors have to say.
  • Here’s one of mine…I hate it when people in my family die. As the “pastor” I have to be the strong one and be there for everyone else. I’m not complaining…there are so many other benefits to being in ministry, but this is the one that bugs me.
  • And oh yeah…guess who always prays at family meals.
  • Wow that got depressing all the sudden didn’t it…on a much happier note…
  • I AM JACKED UP ABOUT THIS WEEK’S EXPERIENCE!!!!!!
  • I’m going to be speaking about forgiveness and as I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the message, I can honestly say that everything that we have planned could make this the most meaningful, life-changing Expereince ever!
  • If you know of someone that is hurting in any way, do whatever it takes to make sure they are with you…I really think God is going to do some tremendous healing in our midst.
  • I AM ALSO JACKED UP ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP RETREAT FROM THIS PAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!
  • WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS?
  • Anyway, the vision and direction God has given our team is exciting and i believe the entire church is going to be much stronger for the growth God has in store for us…I’ll give you more details as I’m allowed/feel led…but for now, all I can say is get ready to be used by God to impact the region in a major way.
  • Tonight is honestly the first Council meeting that I can say I’m looking forward to attending…can’t wait to further expand upon this weekend!
