We did another man moment this week for all the men at The Connection Church. This week was the Man-tage. You’re welcome:

Sunday Mind Dump
- One of the longest weekends ever!
- Started early Friday with a trip to the best dentist in the world and then to re-roof a friends house. Worked on the roof for almost 11 hours.
- Woke up Saturday and re-roofed, then hooked up with my family in San Antonio.
- Today was Church, Connection 201, some meetings, and then CRASH.
- Tomorrow, I have to be at the office at 4:00am to head to Dallas for the day with about 20 team members for Catalyst One Day.
- The Connection Church is absolutely amazing! Hands down an incredible place full of life change. In the end, THAT is what matters.
- Got a HUGE week coming up. BIG stuff at TCC. I mean BIG.
- Please pray for me and Pastor Cole this week. A lot.
- I have to hit the sack now…short mind dump.
Saturday Night Shots
- PUMPED that I got to chill with the family most of the day. We went to Sea World and then hung at the house. I cry every time I go to Sea World when they recognize those who serve in the military right before the Shamu show. Dang whales.
- STILL LOVIN’ that Amber made the best dang nachos ever tonight. Thanks Toots!
- PUMPED that tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Love me some Mother’s Day church!
- PUMPED about baby dedication tomorrow!
- PUMPED about some HUGE HUGE HUGE stuff coming at TCC. I know, I’ve been saying it a while. You’re about to find out…in two weeks…
- Amazed that my dog left me a “surprise” in the yard that was so big that it literally almost stopped my lawn mower.
- NOT PUMPED about what got all over my shins.
- NOT PUMPED that I have no laptop. I feel disconnected. Sad huh?
Sunday Mind Dump
- This morning was CRAZY. I woke up, thinking I was late, rushing like crazy, only to realize I wasn’t late. I set off the alarm at the office. I didn’t recognize my Jeep (because I had washed it) and almost went to the wrong Jeep. Just crazy.
- This morning was also INCREDIBLE. Lots of new faces, Baptisms, and life change!
- Our lead pastor’s wife, Pam Phillips, spoke today. Her message was called “No Holds Barred: What Women Wish Men Knew.” Pam did an absolutely amazing job. When she got up to talk, people were cheering before she ever said a word. How often do people CHEER for the sermon at churches? She was funny. She was serious. She shared from God’s word. She knocked it out of the park. Tons of people were asking when she’d be speaking again. Awesome job Pam!
- The guy that does the lighting at the PAC for us each week told me a few weeks back that he was building a light show for a dance rehearsal that was renting the facility. It was about 2.5 minutes long and took him 30 hours to build. I got to watch it today after church. SLAMMING. Click here to watch some poor quality video that I shot of it with the old iPhone.
- We got to use some of those lights from the dance show this morning and the lighting was THE BEST it has ever been this morning. Just amazing!
- One of our connectors, Ryan Hay, brought a super heater for the baptistry today. He said he could make the water 140 degrees if we wanted. The people who got baptized said it was like a stinking sauna. Awesome!
- Couper paired with potty training paired with being super busy right now is wearing me out. Seriously, my wife is the most amazing woman in the world. I have no idea how she watches my kid all day.
- I gotta give my tech team a shout out. They are just ON TOP OF THINGS on Sundays. Awesome.
- www.planningcenteronline.com is the most vital tool we use for Sunday mornings at TCC. If you are in charge of programming Sundays at your church you need to check it out.
- We did not have donuts today (because of the swine flu). I heard one kid say “man, now how am I supposed to eat my weekly five donuts.” Parents c’mon. If your kid is eating five donuts every Sunday you should be smacked.
- I am over my swine flu. I have been drinking plenty of hand sanitizer…
- I was thinking about families that have left TCC for whatever dumb reason today for some reason. Selfishness is a horrible sin because it causes people to miss out on movements of God.
