Sunday Night Reflections

May 11, 2008

Here are my thoughts before hitting the hay…

  • Today we saw the church be the church!
  • We gave a handicapped accessible van away to a mom & her family.
  • We gave away a house to a single mom…AND informed her that we were paying her utility bills for the next year to help her get on her feet.
  • The band absolutely shredded, “God of this City,” and…I’m not sure there was a dry eye in the house when it was over.
  • Generous giving enables a church to do far more in a community that it ever dreamed it could.
  • Hundreds of hours of work took place behind the scenes to make today happen…from the crew that built the house from the ground up to all of the video and camera work—I serve with a great team!
  • Today marked Lee McDee’s eight year anniversary working with NewSpring Church…he’s the first full time person I hired…and I have NEVER REGRETTED making that decision.  He’s the best worship leader in the country!  I love you bro…eight down…thirty eight more to go!!!
  • I am flying out to Oklahoma City tomorrow to record my video for the One Prayer series that our church…as well as over 700 other churches…are participating in.  If you think about it—pray for me!!!
  • Charisse said “purple” today!  Now all I need to get her to say is “orange” and she will have down the two most perfect colors!
  • Today’s message was mostly video…so…I am ALREADY fired up about preaching next week!!!
  • I know I say this all the time…but NewSpring…our best days are ahead of us…what we saw today is only a fraction of what God wants to do through our church!

That’s it for now—BED TIME!
