- 17 people were Baptized today. It was crazy cool! I love hearing the cheers of people when someone comes out of that water more than anything. YEAH! Here is video of some of the baptisms. Sorry for all of my excited screams…wait…no I’m not!
- I literally just sat down for the first time today. Crazy. I got up at 5:30am and its 11:00pm right now.
- I fixed another neighbor’s fence and gate today. I am officially going to start CadillacZak’s Fence Company. I worked on this one for 4 hours. Yikes.
- My other neighbors came to church today for the second week. We’ve been inviting them since they moved in. Today we showed them their names on the God’s Most Wanted list and they were extremely grateful. AWESOME!
- The energy, momentum, and excitement in the second service today was off the charts. I’ll be sailing on that fuel for the entire week!
- The band did awesome today. Of course, maybe I just think that because they pretty much played my favorite 5 songs out there right now.
- I made the biggest screw-up ever in the history of TCC at the start of the first service today. Luckily, I don’t think anyone (other than staff and some team members) even knew. HAHA!
- Cole did the only thing that takes more guts than a pastor saying he’ll get a tattoo today…that is, saying that you won’t after you said you will. I am behind him 100% and I am PUMPED that The Connection Church GETS IT. Bringing eggs isn’t about Cole getting a tattoo or any dumb contest. Bringing eggs is about reaching people who are far from God! Thank you for understanding that its NOT ABOUT YOU TCC!!!
- After church naps are for wimps. I’m just saying…
- We are launching the new Connection Church website this week. Looking forward to it!
- Had a guy from church call me today with a “religious emergency.” He called and said that he had spilled the ashes of his girlfriends father and wanted to know how to properly and respectfully clean it up. My response was “dude, just get it done before she gets there!”
- Cole told me that he is going to be encouraging the staff to fast on Good Friday this week. PUMPED about that. We’ve never fasted together. More on that this week.
- Stick around this blog, cole’s blog and www.theconnectionchurch.org this week. We’ll be sharing lots of good stuff about Easter!
