Here goes…will probably be EXTREMELY random! :-)
- Had the honor of having Craig Groeschel speak to NewSpring today as a part of our “God Is” series…
- MANY decisions were made for Christ as a result of the message…that NEVER gets old!
- His opening line about believing that God can love others but struggling with God loving me was POWERFUL! WOW!
- BTW…some people don’t have a hard time thinking God loves them…in fact, they are sure of it and are also quite sure that He doesn’t love anyone else! :-)
- Many of the people I mentioned above twitter!!!
- Craig has been one of the guys that Jesus has really used to shape, encourage…and rebuke me over the past three years! He is honestly one of the best leaders I know and it is a privilege to call him a friend.
- I think he and Amy (his wife) should write a commentary on the Song of Songs…THEY HAVE SIX KIDS…I think they have things figured out!!!
- Greenville campus had an amazing first day at their new location…I honestly believe God is setting the stage for an EXPLOSION of HIS GRACE this fall!
- I am SO proud of the staff and volunteers that BUSTED IT over the past week to make things happen so fast!
- I am continuing to hear AWESOME stories from our Florence campus…can’t WAIT to see what happens there this fall as well!
- Had some news come our way this week in regards to our Columbia campus that, if it works out, is going to be AMAZING!
- Next week is Father’s Day…get dad to church!!! (You should bring him!)
- BTW…Mother’s Day is usually one of the highest attended church days every year…and Father’s Day is one of the lowest—what does that say about the men in the church? (Or lack of!!!)
- I spend MOST of my day in a car driving back from Panama City Beach, Florida…got to spend some much needed time with ‘Cretia and Charisse and was able to rest a little as well.
- Tomorrow I head out to the West Coast…get to meet with Larry Osborne on Monday and Tuesday and then Mark Driscoll on Wednesday and Thursday. I consider myself to be very blessed to have this opportunity to learn from these guys who are much wiser than me!
- Would appreciate your prayers for the trip I mentioned above…for safe travel and that I would be completely open to the Holy Spirit and all He wants to teach me!
That’s about it…going to set the coffee maker (gotta get up @ 4:40) and then head to bed!
