What’s Better than Saturday morning Cartoons…

…how about a Saturday morning blog.   Here are some random thoughts running through my head:

• Why did I just title the post what I did?  Now there’s pressure to make this good in some way.
• Had a really great time last night speaking to 50+ young people in Smithsburg, MD.
• I shared a modified version of the Perhaps message on having a God-given vision for your life.
• People seemed to really like it and were very contemplative afterwards.
• In a whispered voice…”The password is…contemplative.”
• I enjoyed this talk because it was in the town where I graduated from High School.  It was the first time since I became a Christian many years ago, that I’ve had the opportnity to go back and share my faith.
• The worship leader for the night, Curtis Miller, reminded me a lot of David Crowder.  Not in looks…thankfully…hey no offense David, but you’ve got a very “unique” look…no I’m talking in the sound of his voice.  He actually did a lot of Crowder songs which maybe helped as well.
• They did an awesome version of “Angels We Have Heard on High” that I’m trying to get so the United team can do it as well.
• Hey speaking of Christmas, don’t forget we launch our CRIBS series tomorrow…make sure you invite someone to come along.
• Lisa and I started looking for houses this week in C’burg.  We found one we like, but are going to still look at a few more…please pray for us that God would make it super clear which one we are to get and that our house down here in MD would sell quickly.
• Speaking of prayer, please pray for Andy.  He has been fighting a bad infection all week long that has had him off work.
• I hate snow.
• Lisa loves snow.
• She gets to snuggle up in a warm blanket, sip hot chocolate and watch it fall.  I get to shovel it. 
• Now you know.
• Just finished reading Creating Community by Andy Stanley in preparation for the series we’ll be doing on small groups and community in the beginning of 2008.  Can’t wait to get this and them started so that we offer yet another way for people to get plugged into CFCOG.
• This weekend has got to be the arm pit of the sports year as far as I’m concerned.  No college football…college basketball is just getting started, so not quite exciting yet, the Redskins already played, NASCAR is done for the year, my two other Washington teams that I like (the Caps and Wizards) are struggling and the baseball winter meetings just concluded and as usual the Orioles did nothing.  I said all that to say this (inside joke), This is the first free Saturday I’ve had in months and this is the reward I get?  Thanks God!  haha :)
• Ok this post didn’t live up to the hype…sorry about that…there’s 5 minutes of your life you’ll l never get back…I’ll try to make up for it tomorrow during the message…see you then!
