Second Look @ Sunday

Thankful for another incredible (and busy) weekend. Before we jump into the highlights from yesterday, I would be remiss to not share some highlights from the past two weeks:
  • Christmas Eve was incredible! Where to start....thanks to our set-up team for showing up in the midst of the first round of snow storms to unload the trailer at Bob's.
  • Thanks to the band who came together to lead us in worship.
  • Thankful for those who helped tear down and load up so that everyone could enjoy Christmas.
  • Got a chance to worship with my sister-in-law's family last week. Got to see my oldest nephew profess his faith in Christ and follow Him in baptism. Awesome.
  • It was really cool to be able to sit with Alyssa (the 6-year old) and join her in worship. She's learned to read which makes it much easier for her to sing corporately. So cool to hear her sing praises to God with me.
  • Many people are ashamed or embarrassed by their in-laws. Mine are pretty incredible. Had a great time with them.
  • The gym is getting busy. We closed out the month on a great note. Thankful for a great team there too.
And now yesterday's highlights:
  • Loved the job the worship team did leading. If you're not worshiping, it's a you issue. Really cool to see people like Chet and Chance set free to use all their gifts and abilities to the fullest.
  • Can't imagine what life would be without our Children's Ministry volunteers. Thanks for all you do!
  • Guess which movie was showing in the same theater as we set up our nursery? Yep...this one.
  • "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision." -- Helen Keller
  • Thankful that Jesus does not go for the Dream Team, but chooses the dropout and flunkies, the less-desirables, me.
  • Got a chance to talk with someone tonight about what it means to be a Jesus-follower. Praying for her as she studies Jesus, His life and ministry, and His call on her life.
  • Already getting excited about next week. I've got people in mind to invite; do you?

Awestruck by My Kids (Part One)


My kids have left me awestruck a few times over the past week. Here's the first story.

We were headed up to the lake on Saturday to spend some time with my dad (aka Pops). On the way up, Morgan (the 2-year old) is chilling in her car seat reading from her Bible. Here is her interpretation of what the Bible says:

"Baby Jesus loves me all day, all day, all day.
Baby Jesus loves me all day."

"God loves me all day, all day, all day.
God loves me all day."

My first thought: I am so blessed. I pray that God will continue to fan into flame these first sparks of faith.

My second thought: I wonder if Morgan has ever seen this clip from Talladega Nights.
