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.

God Centered Families

I feel like a total failure when it comes to family devotionals.

I just haven’t ever been able to really hit a stride. I feel like it is incredibly important that we have some God time together once a week or so. I just don’t have any good place to start or any great resources.

So I’m just wondering…

What do you do for your family? How often do you have a devotional time?

What are some tricks you’ve learned that work? Are there certain books that you would recommend? Do you also have a separate devotional time with your spouse?

Best Buds for Two Years

My best buddy in the world turns two years old today.

I am floored. I cannot believe he is turning two.

At midnight I cried. I can’t sleep now. Time is a ruthless thing. It ticks away far too fast.

Here is a picture from the day he was born. Couper, I love you buddy! Happy birthday!

Coolest Feeling Ever

I was away from Amber and Couper for just five days this week. But without them, I’m just a bum…they make me come alive.

Sunday, I picked them up from the airport. MAN I was ready to see them. Then, Couper greeted me and gave me the coolest feeling ever. Check out the video:
