- 17 people were Baptized today. It was crazy cool! I love hearing the cheers of people when someone comes out of that water more than anything. YEAH! Here is video of some of the baptisms. Sorry for all of my excited screams…wait…no I’m not!
- I literally just sat down for the first time today. Crazy. I got up at 5:30am and its 11:00pm right now.
- I fixed another neighbor’s fence and gate today. I am officially going to start CadillacZak’s Fence Company. I worked on this one for 4 hours. Yikes.
- My other neighbors came to church today for the second week. We’ve been inviting them since they moved in. Today we showed them their names on the God’s Most Wanted list and they were extremely grateful. AWESOME!
- The energy, momentum, and excitement in the second service today was off the charts. I’ll be sailing on that fuel for the entire week!
- The band did awesome today. Of course, maybe I just think that because they pretty much played my favorite 5 songs out there right now.
- I made the biggest screw-up ever in the history of TCC at the start of the first service today. Luckily, I don’t think anyone (other than staff and some team members) even knew. HAHA!
- Cole did the only thing that takes more guts than a pastor saying he’ll get a tattoo today…that is, saying that you won’t after you said you will. I am behind him 100% and I am PUMPED that The Connection Church GETS IT. Bringing eggs isn’t about Cole getting a tattoo or any dumb contest. Bringing eggs is about reaching people who are far from God! Thank you for understanding that its NOT ABOUT YOU TCC!!!
- After church naps are for wimps. I’m just saying…
- We are launching the new Connection Church website this week. Looking forward to it!
- Had a guy from church call me today with a “religious emergency.” He called and said that he had spilled the ashes of his girlfriends father and wanted to know how to properly and respectfully clean it up. My response was “dude, just get it done before she gets there!”
- Cole told me that he is going to be encouraging the staff to fast on Good Friday this week. PUMPED about that. We’ve never fasted together. More on that this week.
- Stick around this blog, cole’s blog and www.theconnectionchurch.org this week. We’ll be sharing lots of good stuff about Easter!

Out on a Limb
I wasn’t sure about posting this, but here it goes…I’m typically an open book, but this can be a touchy subject.
I’ve been saving a little here and there for two years and finally, I have an appointment with an amazing tattoo artist in Austin. I’m heading to get some new ink in a couple of weeks. Yes, I know. Pastor? Tattoo? What?
Just need your help…What do you think I should get?
A. The words “TO LIVE IS CHRIST” in script across my chest. Pretty self explanatory. Philippians 1:21
B. An old school anchor. In ancient times the anchor, like the fish, was a symbol with ties to the early Christian church. An anchor tattoo can be thought of as holding one steadfast, like an anchor holding a great sailing ship safe in harbor, against winds and currents that might carry it astray.
C. OTHER. You pick…nothing ridiculous like a picture of Cole or Nic. 
Go ahead, share your thoughts. My mind is basically made up, but I’m curious to see others’ thoughts.

Short tonight…need to go chill with Amber for a while.
- Church ROCKED today. I loved Cole’s illustration about the top 5 things married people throw at each other!
- John Patrick did an awesome job sharing on stage about his divorce. God still has a plan for all of us, no matter what we have gone through. If you haven’t met John, you should. He is an amazing person and a local business owner. He owns Audio Outlaws. If you ever need some SWEET SOUND set up for your car or tinting done, get with John.
- The PAC is ROCKING. Don, the man who runs the place, is incredible. He has such a great attitude and a ready to help heart. I love it!
- My parents and sister were at church today. That ALWAYS makes me happy.
- Starbucks had my drink waiting for me when I walked in at 7:00am this morning WITH my name already written on the cup. YES. Starbucks, we have arrived.
- I want a new tattoo.
- Couper took a nap on my chest today. There is nothing like your little boy falling asleep in your arms. I can’t believe he is already a year old. That jacks with me and makes me cry. Peeps, stop asking me how old he is. It makes me cry. Like a little girl.
- I looked at Amber today and she said “can you believe he is one already?” NO. AH. STOP MAKING ME CRY.
- Had a long crazy weekend but it was a blast. This week we’ll be prepping the next series and I’ll start working on the message that I’ll be preaching on May 25th.
- I HAVE to get back into the running mode this week to get ready for the San Antonio Marathon. I’m going to run the FULL 26.2 miles this time…none of that half marathon sissy stuff.
- Last, I LOVE Twitter…
Splat Your Tat
Carlos Whittaker SPLATTED my TATS today (I’m on the very bottom right in the pics). It got me wondering, which of my readers have been inked til the end? If you have any ink, shoot me a picture of it to cadillaczak@gmail.com. I will put them all together and post them on Monday, so get it to me quick!
