Random thoughts on a Friday morning

  • Just got done putting the final touches on the message for this weekend.
  • Now comes the fun part of memorizing!  Actually I enjoy it.
  • Hope all the work isn’t in vain…calling for bad weather Sunday.
  • Not like we can bump the series back a week either…last I checked Christmas will still roll around regardless of the weather.
  • I’m thinking I’ll record the message anyway so that way people can listen to it on-line if they are interested.
  • The opening song this weekend is going to rock…literally!
  • Lisa and I are getting ready to go out on our 1 day per year pre-Christmas shopping trip this afternoon…neither of us are feeling too motivated.
  • Yesterday we wrote up a contract for a house in C’Burg.  Please pray that it gets accepted and that our house sells quickly.
  • “We’re buying it because we like to entertain…”  haha…for those of you who didn’t get it, listen here… Living a Renovated Life
  • We’ve been packing up and purging stuff from the house for the last week or 2…not fun.  Actually I’ve done very little…Lisa is doing an awesome job.
  • The Christmas Eve Experience should be interesting…we had to make some changes because some of our team can’t be there, but it should be good none the less.  For those of you who can’t make it at 7PM, there will be 2 other more traditional style services over in the main sanctuary at 5PM and 11PM.
  • The last 2 weeks have been full of meetings with people who are new to United and CFCOG.  I love to see the diversity that God is bringing our way and get to hear first hand the incredible stories of how God is working in and through us.
  • New Year’s Eve is shaping up to be a lot of fun.  If you haven’t yet signed up, you can do so here.  New Year’s Eve.
  • Earl yesterday told me that a group of about 80 senior citizens are coming to the church on Monday morning for a tour and a luncheon.  He wanted me to show him how to operate all the moving lights in the multi-purpose room.  He thinks they will really enjoy them…not sure why I think that’s so funny, but I do.
