Inside Today’s Experiences

May 10, 2009 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Typing this on my phone in the back of Dianna’s van as she, Gene and I are on our way to OH for a week’s worth of classes.
  • Rough day today especially in the first Experience.
  • When I plugged the cables in the back wall this morning things seemed weird but then everything booted up fine so it appeared we were ok.
  • Everything worked fine through practice but then the computer locked up 2 minutes before we were to start.
  • In the midst of fixing that we realized the lights were not responding either…
  • aaahhhh! We were at least 5 minutes late getting started which it figured was on a week we were doing really long music.
  • Had 6 children total get dedicated today.
  • Really cool seeing parents step up in that way for their kids.
  • At 9:15 the wrong phone number to text in questions was on the screen.
  • As I said…can you imagine what the poor guy who’s phone it was was thinking when all these questions about divorce and sex kept flooding his inbox.
  • 10:45 went much better.
  • The two live text questions are each on the podcast. They were…
  •  …Will I know my spouse in heave and at 10:45…If you get pregnant outside of marriage do you then have to marry that person.
  • I can’t wait for next week…the new series called HOSTAGE may end up being the best yet.
  • Pray for us this week as we travel and for us to pass our class.

Random Friday Thoughts

  • Enjoying my day off…just woke up from a nap.  :)
  • Last night’s practice for this weekend was awesome…I’m a combination of excited and nervous!
  • You’ll have to be there to see why.
  • This is about as edgy as I think we’ll ever be, but I truly believe that God has directed all of this to create an Experience that not only will you never forget, but will also get you truly re-thinking sex.
  • Speaking of excited, Andy and I got our tickets for Monday night’s Caps vs. Penguins play-off game. 
  • Alexander the Great vs. Cindy (oopps I mean Sidney) the Sissy   haha
  • Yesterday was Dianna Best, our children’s director’s, birthday.
  • The staff went out to a great liitle Italian place in downtown Chambersburg to celebrate.
  • For 44 days Dianna is a year older than me…ha!
  • In all seriousness, Dianna does an awesome job with “little people church”…please don’t forget to thank her for all she and her team does next time you see her.
  • Tonight CAYA is hanging out with a stop at Brusters in the mix.
  • If you’re in the 18-29 range stop by Brusters at 7PM to hang with them.
  • Going to try out Twitter for a week or so to see if I like it.
  • Got another busy week coming up where I’ll have to get 2 weeks worth of stuff done…definetely looking forward to vacation!
  • If you haven’t yet invited someone to United for this weekend…stop what your doing and do it now…you won’t regret it.
