Crazy GOD Days
Ever had one of those days where crazy GOD things just kept happening?
I had one last week.
I was meeting with my buddy John Atkinson and sharing with him some of my plan to raise some startup funds for Revolution Church. Somehow we got on the topic of how we need a camera. My phone rang and I answered it. It was a friend and pastor, John Church, that wasn’t even on my possibilities list saying that Generations Church wanted to send us $1,000 to help with startup money. Incredible!
I thanked John and got off the phone. As I am hanging up the phone, John Atkinson pulls a camera out of his bag and says, “here.” And right there in Starbucks he just gave me his own personal camera so that Revolution Church could do some videos.
And that’s only two of the things that happened that day. 
Just sharing to say this. G-O-D is GOOD.
