- Losing My Religion series continues to be a blessing for me to preach and I pray a means for God to open people’s eyes to His love, grace, and character.
- We’re celebrating numerous salvations
- Tonight Rock Bridge Student Ministry (@ Calhoun & @ Dalton) taught about the needs of the world and the Christian’s responsibility to help meet them — praying the eyes and hearts of young people are enlarged in a mighty, Christ-exalting way!!
- They took an offering to buy a family village in Kenya a cow through Possibilities Africa. One cow can totally transform a village with jobs, hope, and openness to Gospel love!
- They will also be sponsoring a child through World Vision!
- I’m playing sermon “catch-up” this week since I missed a week of preparation when I was out in San Diego.
- Great discussions this week about how to better communicate our mission and core values to provide better clarity regarding WHO we are as a church. As we grow and add new people, we must reinforce who God has called us to be and remind ourselves about the Spirit-given uniqueness that exists in our church.
- Congrats to our Associate Pastor, Alfred Turley, and his wife, Heidi, who had a beautiful baby girl this past week.
- The football rundown:
- Georgia is just sad and way below their potential as a team. It is NOT great to be a Georgia Bulldog right now.
- If you like leadership-type stuff, pay attention to how Coach Mark Richt handles this. It will be a lesson in what to do or what not to do … either way we can learn something from how he responds.
- Great anniversary celebration with Beth this week. Hopefully, this time next year we’ll be parents!!
- My take on the second installment of the Twilight saga: New Moon:
- Special effects: much better!
- Acting: still solid and true to the characters of the book.
- Music/Soundtrack: horrible … didn’t match the scenes at all.
- Felt rushed and some transitions were abrupt … hard to compress a 500+ page book into 2 hours.
- Still a freakishly popular cultural event. Asking myself, “Why do sooo many people love this series? Why do I love it?”
- Short week this week thanks to Thanksgiving … ready for some turkey!!!!!!!!
