GOD, Leadership, The Connection Church with
MIND DUMP!
- Today was THE BEST message I have ever heard Cole give. If you missed it, you MISSED OUT!
- Something So Big is on. It is so incredible to be a part of this team!
- I wish Catalyst were 2 weeks long.
- After going to Catalyst and hearing worship through $123,543,643,563 of sound equipment, I realized how bad our equipment is. Don’t get me wrong…our band ROCKS. I would put them up against ANY BAND, ANYWHERE on any Sunday morning. But nicer equipment always helps.
- YOU KNOW WHAT? VISA, YOU CAN KISS OFF. I HATE YOU. AND I HATE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, Discover, American Express…ALL OF THEM. This commercial makes my blood boil. Get your credit cards out RIGHT NOW and cut them up. More on this topic later this week.
- Still processing some of what I learned at Catalyst. Talk about leadership and info overload!
- A new goal of mine: read at least one book every 2-3 weeks.
- We have about 6 frogs that are living on our front porch…its fun to watch them eat the bugs. Tonight, a cat came up…it was stalking my little hoppy friends. I hate cats and rushed outside to scare it off. Cat, if you are reading this, DO NOT come back unless you want to be PUNTED across the street.
- I really fell behind in my training this week. Need to kick it back up this week! I am freaked out about how close my race is.
- I taught Connection 201 today. It rocked! Always amazing to see our people committing to Christ in such a unique way! If you haven’t ever come to 201, be sure to check out the next class!
- I am convinced, my son is the COOLEST kid EVER.
- I am even more convinced, my wife is the coolest wife ever.
- I am utterly and profoundly sure that Jesus ROCKS!
- I am 100% sure that in the end, all that matters are people.

Mind DUMPAGE:
- Wow. What a day! I woke up at 5am puking my guts out.
- Made it to the school late and somehow I managed to stay alive through all three services.
- During tear down I was literally blacking out.
- Went home and CRASHED. I haven’t felt so sick anytime in my life that I can remember. I still feel kinda bad. Home resting.
- Amber and Couper are at the pool without me.
Its the last day that it will be open today.
- Services went great today! I was supposed to preach but on Monday we decided Cole would instead. I was just so stinking busy that I wasn’t sure I could give the sermon the attention I normally do. After today I’d say we made the right decision. Cole did an amazing job today!
- It tore me up to have to give away a chance to preach. I really feel that speaking is a HUGE part of my calling in life. But I knew it was what we needed to do.
- Pumped about going HERE this week. Its something I have wanted to go to since I went into full time ministry. NOT PUMPED about being away from my family.
- My running schedule stunk this week. I WILL get back on track this week.
- I am LOVING this. They should have made it a LONG time ago. I ended up getting mine for free…Cole would say that I am a “schemer.” He’s just jealous. I got it by selling my old phone and my old ipod. Ebay rocks!
- Also, I am set up for mobile blogging now via my iPhone. Everyone who has one and uses WordPress to blog (like I do) said it couldn’t be done. But with some code modification, I got it working.
- I REALLY need to schedule time to practice my magic each week. Just an hour or so. When I am not doing shows my props just kinda sit there. Not good. Plus, I have tons of shows coming up.
- I am planning on giving all my magical paychecks to Something So Big.
- DO NOT MISS church this coming Sunday. Don’t DO IT. BE THERE. SERIOUSLY. Got plans? Cancel them now. Normally, I would NEVER say anything like that, so you can see how important it is that you attend this coming Sunday.
