Sunday Replay

A lot of guys post their Sunday mind dumps on Sunday, and part of me wishes that I would mine too.  But, I’ve made a decision to keep Sundays all about my wife and son.  So, most Sundays, I won’t be posting.  So you’ll just have to wait till Mondays….

• Seriously a great day at the Ridge despite a huge dip in attendance this week.  Vacations, summer break, and “lake weather” make it hard to keep great attendance in the summer for some churches.
• No excuses.  I’m not belly aching.   And no we aren’t shutting the doors.  I’m just excited about the people we did have!  People are still showing up..so that’s a great sign!
• I talked about serving this week.  Yes, if you are part of a local church you should be serving.  It’s biblical to serve people!  You can hear it HERE
• Denira and I got home from Nashville Sunday morning at 3a.m. and back up at 6:30a.m.  One thing we’ll never do again…but totally worth it!
• Absolutley tapped out from Hillsong United on Saturday night. I”ll blog about that later.  Too much to say.
• It was one great weekend with my bride in Nashville.  Love that city.
• Our worship leaders, Matt and Deena Robbins are really morphing into something different.  Doing a great job leading. 
• Have I ever mentioned that I love our band?  I love our band!
• We seriously could use you in any area of your choosing at The Ridge! There are so many opportunites to serve here! Be some place where you are serving!
• Got one HUGE email this weekend about a certain coaching network I was selected for.  Pumped about that!  Just won’t let the cat outta the bag yet.
• Tear Down The Walls from Hillsong United is one amazing anthem!  
• There’s something great about music so loud that you have to sing at the tops of your lungs to be heard. When everyone in a room does that, it’s amazing and I think it makes God smile.
• Got to hang with our good friends the Gentrys this weekend too! Love that family!
• Yes, I did say that being a member of a church and not doing anything is like having a gym membership and not ever going.  Useless!
• I also borrowed a quote from Pastor Steven that rings with truth: When you do something for the cause of Christ, YOU are a connector to the current of the power of Christ.  Powerful!
• I don’t think most people realize how much of a “connector” they are.  Do you realize that you have the OPPORTUNITY  to share Christ with people every day as a connector to the current?
• I’m kinda getting itchy to do something crazy.  Feel like we need to shake the boat to reach some people who aren’t being reached in our city.
• It’s not like we aren’t shaking it already.  But I’m talking about convulsive type shaking.
• One Prayer starts this week!  God Is_________  We’ll talk about for the next 4 weeks.  We have some great stuff planned around the iCampus as well.  It’s gonna be a full month!
