Sunday Flashback

It's 10PM and I just got home. It's been a long but very good day. This evening was our CREST meeting at church, which we do once a quarter. It accomplishes five things for us and serves as a vehicle for vision casting and cheering what God is doing among us. Good (but long - 90 minutes) meeting tonight. Lots of God things are happening and we got to hear about them.

After the meeting my friend Sam and I went out for a cup of coffee. He's new to our church but a great encourager.

This morning started off a little stressful for Burnie. Both of our experienced video techs were out of town, and we needed to load a couple of things on the Mac at church. So Burnie was on the phone with Rox and she was guiding him through the steps to get 'er done. All the while the band was delayed in getting their practice session started (Burnie was on bass today). But it all came together and worked out great!

One more installment to go on this current series on the spiritual armor God gives believers.

After the second gathering I met with a group of guests and new attenders. "What did we do today that you liked?" A young man quickly raised his hand. "I liked how you got the band back up during the sermon and did a song right in the middle of it. You need to do that, Dad." His dad, a pastor, was sitting behind him! Ha!

Don't know what's caused the transformation but the last two Sundays the 9 o'clockers were full of life! Must be the coffee?

Awesome choice of songs. The band was sooo good.

Great day! Long day! Good night!! Got to be back at church for First Appointment with our men at 6AM.
