Monday Monday or Sunday Sunday
Confession: I’ve got a Sunday hang-over that I can’t shake. Yeh, that’s right. Some call it the Holy Hangover. Perry Noble says that if you witness an accident, one second of adrenaline release will take 30 minutes of recovery. So, if you preach for 30 minutes, that’s a long recover time. If you preach multiple times, that’s an even longer recovery time. Frank Decker, who doesn’t blog or twitter but should, says that preaching one message is like working an 8 hour day. Long story short: I’ve got a hangover. I’m enjoying it, however, for the following reasons:
- I got to grill steaks at church!
- Four guys got to eat steaks at church!
- We learned why I’m so HAPPY around Liz.
- We discovered Spray-on Jesus.
- We gave away roses to every woman who came to church!
- We gave away four bottles of perfume to four different women!
- We gave away four manicure/pedicure gift certificates (courtesy of Lesko family) to four different women!
- One of our first-time guests came all the way from Iraq to worship with us! Sort of.
- Our whole church re-committed to follow Jesus Christ not only as Savior, but Lord and King!
- Our church joined in on the triumphal procession of Christ by offering to God and the world His aroma!
- After services concluded we were short-handed, but ridiculous people like Amy Wacker, David Domyslawski, the Ruzeks, Matt Sims, Heath Maddox, and most of our staff got everything done in the same amount of time! (If I left you off that list, I’m sorry.)
- We ate at Monterrey for the traditional Mexican Mother’s Day Meal!
- Liz got to go and play by herself for a few hours!
- Our family went to hang-out with my family.
- I have the best wife in the world! My kids are blessed to have her as a mom!
- Got to watch the conclusion of the Amazing Race. I want to be on that show one day.
While all of that is behind me, here’s what I have to look forward to this week:
- Meeting with Robin Payne (a former co-worker at SUMC) to talk about her consultant company A242. The website is almost complete. When it is, I’ll hook you up. If you’re a church leader and want to develop discipleship ministry, A242 is the way to go.
- Braselton’s Town Council votes tonight whether we get a Conditional Use Permit.
- I’ve got meetings all day tomorrow with good friends and co-laborers in Christ.
- Wednesday I’m catching up with the guy who’s leading a sweet ministry that develops leaders and they want insight into reaching different faith groups with common ground!
- Thursday I’ve got a few meetings lined-up that I’m excited about too!
- Wednesday’s finale of LOST!
- Possible Men’s Movie Night on the horizon. Who’s in?
- Last week of menial running. Next week is game on!
- All the things God wants to do this week to just flat mess me up!
