Jacked About…

March 21, 2009 in GOD, Life Change, The Connection Church with Comments Off

I’m totally jacked and cannot go to sleep because of two things:

First, our Current Leadership meeting that is in 8 hours.

Second, this Sunday. I am preaching. I haven’t preached in two months. Here is what my buddy Loui Canchola said:

He’s right. Well, you don’t need to watch out. But you need to know this: I am pumped. I literally cannot sleep. I just went downstairs and preached the sermon as practice again.

Connection Church, let me just say this: get your lost friends to church this Sunday. I know its the end of spring break and you are tired, but be there.

You have been praying for the names that you wrote on the God’s Most Wanted list.

Now, you need to invite them. You have all day today. Do whatever it takes.

See you Sunday…

  • I loathe time change.
  • Today was UH-MAZE-ING at The Connection Church.
  • I learned about this church shooting literally seconds before walking out on stage to close the 2nd service. I just about lost it. Things like this break my heart…especially when the victim is a church.
  • Please pray for First Baptist Church of Maryville, Illinois where this shooting happened.
  • This is why we have armed security each week. Too many psychos out there. That said, I hope that our security team has the most boring job in the world every week.
  • Awesome to see people putting more names on God’s Most Wanted lists today. INCREDIBLE.
  • We had a young woman that had a seizure in the lobby today. Please pray for her. She is doing fine.
  • Note to self: always call ALL musicians on time change sundays the night before and remind them of time change. :) I’m just saying…
  • Had some close friends that I absolutely love tell me today that they “just appreciate that I am real with everyone.” That is a huge compliment. I am who I am…all the time.
  • Loui Canchola and his MUCH better half Michelle were in church with us today, checking it out. LOVE that guy!
  • I had the MOST incredible, complete God meeting today. I was shaking the whole time.
  • God is doing some HUGE stuff at The Connection Church…can’t wait to share with you!
  • Today, Perry Noble said, ““The two biggest problems in this country are consumer debt and obesity. It’s not because we don’t have enough. It’s because we don’t manage what we have well.”  WHOA. NAILED IT.
  • If anyone has a whiteboard they don’t need holla.
  • Time for bed. Seriously!

Saturday Night Shots

  • PUMPED about services tomorrow!  We spent most of our week working on the kinks from PAC week one.  Tomorrow will show us again, what’s working and what isn’t.  Bear with us Connection Church…we have NEVER claimed to be experts.  We are just on the ride like everyone, trying to figure things out as we go!
  • PUMPED about helping out in our kids areas tomorrow.  I have never gotten to do it before…its going to ROCK!
  • PUMPED about Loui Canchola’s talk that I heard at the OBEY conference for students last night.  I was there performing my magic show.  But Loui did the REAL work.  Over 20 students gave their lives to Christ.  INCREDIBLE!  I also got to meet and hang out with Salvador’s sound guy.
  • PUMPED about my close friends’ baby, Caden Calloway Pennington, being born this weekend.  I got to hold him today.  A new friend for Couper and pretty much the STINKING COOLEST KID NAME EVER.  Seriously.
  • NOT PUMPED about how terrible the Texas Rangers are doing.  I’m not really a Rangers fan, but MAN, if you are representing my state, the greatest state in the world, you’d better win.  Sheesh.  I’d say if they don’t win 5 of the next 7 games we move them to another, more sissy state…which would be any of the other 49 states…
  • NOT PUMPED that Couper won’t go to sleep.  He is on a fifteen minute cry break right now…
