Random Friday Thoughts

August 22, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • My sprained ankle is feeling much better this morning…thanks for the prayers.
  • Guess I need to add “getting the mail” as one more thing on my be careful as you’re doing it list.
  • Seriously we had a terrible practice last night. 
  • All week long and even up to yesterday afternoon we we’re scrambling just to get a team together.
  • Not really anyone’s fault…but when half the team comes in not prepared because they didn’t know they would be playing or what they’d be playing until that afternoon, it makes for a rough time.
  • All that to say…first pray that things come together on Sunday.  Second…I’ll be glad when vacations are over.
  • I finally posted some pics from the CAYA trip to Hershey Park on my facebook account.  Click here to see them.
  • Hey don’t forget to use the forums to share prayer requests and ideas…as well as discuss each week’s message.
  • Tonight we’re having dinner with Chris and Jan Dell’Aqua.  They are some of the original set-up crew team members and have been a tremendous asset to the United team.  Looking forward to just hanging out.
  • Tomorrow we head down to the Kennedy Center in DC to see the Broadway version of  “The Lion King.”
  • My uncle works there and treats us to a show every year.  It’s always a lot of fun and it inspires me to have as high of performance standards as what they do. 
  • They do it for money…we’re doing it because people’s eternal destinies matter to God. 
  • That’s one of the reasons that churches who do things cheesy and with poor production qualities bother me so much…don’t they realize what’s at stake?
  • That’s also why your continued faithfulness in tithing is so important.  We have to try to pull of as good if not hopefully better production standards but at a fraction of the budget.
  • Money doesn’t solve all problems but it sure does help.
  • Even with all the problems last night, I’m still excited about this weekend.
  • Let’s face it…pride is something we all deal with and I’ll tackle it head on as we look at the movie Get Smart.  Also, I’ll be announcing what our next series will be….and I’ll be making a HUGE announcement that you won’t want to miss.
  • Don’t forget to invite someone…it could be a life altering decision.
