Sunday Night Thoughts…

Here are some random things running through my mind this evening…

• Why did God make mosquitoes? I just want outside to arrange the sprinklers and got TORE UP! I hate them…all of them!
• A staff member at our church today who shall remain nameless was late to our services this evening because her cat got into a fight and another cat bit it on the butt. SO…she had to take it to them vet. Uh…yeah…that caused me to laugh.
• Today was my birthday…I am 36 years old…and today the entire church sang to me all four services. Uh, yeah…it was embarrassing.
• For the record…I HATE it when you go to a restaurant and they come out clapping their hands and sing that stupid birthday song…AHHHHH!!!
• Tuesday night at NewSpring is going to be awesome–my friend Joe will be teaching what is called the Financial learning experience…HERE is the information!!! Folks…this is free–and it WELL worth the time. BUT…you should ONLY come IF you want to get out of debt and have plenty of money for the future so that you can be generous and provide for your family!!!
• We received two awesome baby gifts this weekend…the first was butt paste. Yes, it is called that–and I will be doing an entire post on butt paste later this week. :-) The second was M&M’s with Charisse’s name on them! WOW–that’s awesome!!!
• The concert on Friday is going to be incredible! BE THERE…remember, this event is a way that our church can seriously IMPACT some awesome organizations in our community. EVERY DIME given will be going to support either Anderson Interfaith Ministries and the Crisis Pregnancy Center. I said EVERY DIME. NewSpring is TOTALLY underwriting the cost of EVERYTHING. SO…come prepared to give generously at the door!
• I ran about 4.5 miles this morning before speaking and it felt great–all except for right knee and left foot–they hurt…pray for them!!! :-)
• I am thinking about attempting another marathon in December! Anyone wanna train?
• Next Sunday we will be dealing with the concept of spiritual warfare at NewSpring! I think it is going to be a great weekend.
• Summer Blockbuster is going to be off the charts…if you are a parent with a child K-5 through 5th grade–check out this information and get your kid signed up ASAP! I can’t wait to be there.
• Holy crap…I am about to be a dad!!!
• Lucretia MADE me an ice cream cake for my birthday…yet MORE evidence that she is a godly woman who loves Jesus!!!
• I preached on greed today–tense message…more on that later.
• Daryl and I got to hang out today for a little while–he and his wife drove all the way from Wilmington to be at NewSpring today.
• I LOVE THE LOCAL CHURCH–there’s nothing like it!
• We saw people receive Christ today. Folks…I preached on money and greed and several people met Jesus–that’s God!!!

That’s about it for now…I love you NewSpring! I am REALLY looking forward to Sunday!
