- I’m getting really excited about this weekend as we continue the One Prayer series. Perry Noble is such an awesome communicator and you’ll be inspired to do great things after hearing him speak about becoming dangerous.
- Make sure you invite someone.
- Also don’t forget that this Sunday morning at 9:30 is the vote for the hiring of a Creative Arts Pastor. Please come out and support this important next step in the future of CFCOG.
- I’m getting ready to go visit this afternoon with one of my spiritual mentors throughout the years. He’s my former boss and pastor at the church where I served in MD and its always good to get together to reminisce about the past and challenge each other to do great and mighty things in the future for the Kingdom.
- Hey speaking of, lookwhat I came across yesterday as I was catching up on some of the blogs that I read. It’s a tribute to Matt Orth, the son of our very own Larry and Judy Orth.
- Just looked over and saw the cover of this week’s Sports llustrated lying on my desk with a picture of Tiger Woods on the cover. In case you live on another planet and didn’t hear or see what Tiger did this past week, it was amazing. In fact it was so amazing that even Lisa watched it…and she hates sports. Having just recently had knee surgery, Tiger on a not quite rehabilitated leg, won the Open despite the fact that in the process he ripped his ACL and developed 2 stress fractures in his leg. Not only did he have to limp around the course for 4 straight days, the tournament went into a playoff where Tiger eventually won after an additional 19 holes were played on Monday. It was some of the most riveting drama you could ever watch on TV.
- The lesson I believe for us is that Tiger sacrificed his own body and mentally was tough, to do something as insignificant as win a silly golf tournament…in other words in the grand scheme of eternity it means nothing. We on the other hand have a chance to make an eternal difference in the lives of our families, churches, communities and all around the world, yet we often times shy away from anything that will cause us even the slightest discomfort.
- So what can you do, what can you sacrifice, who can you befriend, what could you give, that physically, mentally, spiritually or emotionally might challenge you, but it would make an eternal difference?
- Don’t think I’ve thought to mention it, but we were finally able to purchase a Wii Fit last week as vacation was wrapping up! They just happened to have one in Best Buy when we walked in and so I grabbed it…made for a nice Birthday present.
- OK to be honest, they actually had 2. I started calling friends whom I know have a Wii to see if they wanted me to grab them one since they are so hard to find. I knew Andy had taken his kids to see a movie so I left a message and after talking to another friend I tried Andy again. He answered, I told him the situation and he said, “Yeah get it.” I was leaning against a shelf around the corner from it at the time and so as i turned the corner much to my horror, I saw a woman bend down and pick it up saying to her husband, “Oh look the have a Wii Fit in stock.” I’m still on the phone with Andy giving him the play by play commentary as this couple stands there and argues about whether to get one or not. Ultimately they decided yes, but I still waited around for about an additional 5 minuted in case they changed their mind.
- Needless to say, Andy is rubbing it in that I have one but he doesn’t.
- It’s awesome though…truth be told, I don’t get nearly the exercise that I should. So this makes exercise both fun and easy (well relatively speaking, I can work up a good sweat and I’m now chronically sore…but that’s a good thing).
- Gotta go…don’t forget to vote this weekend and invite someone to the Experience.
