Easter Rundown

What an amazing weekend for the kingdom of God.  Several churches around our area reporting via the blog world some awesome stuff that can only be described as a move of God!!  I'm so pumped to be part of a movement like the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Here's the rundown:

• So I lost my voice Thursday night, uttered hardly a word until Sunday morning, and sounded like Pee-Wee Hermon or like I was 14 and going through puberty.


• The "home rememedies" for voice loss were pretty amazing ... where did ya'll get some of that stuff?


• Preaching 3 services back-to-back-to-back was actually pretty cool and exciting ... sort of like runner's high ... but I'm crashing right now and tomorrow I'll be a zombie. 


• Props to our Dalton tech team for being ready to set-up a video message just in case my voice totally crashed after the 8:00 service.


• Talking to your wife using non-verbal methods is actually kind of fun :)


• The Egg Drop in Calhoun was insane ... we had over 6000 children register, probably close to 12k total in attendance!  People were there from 46 different towns and 5 different states!!  We had NO IDEA the turnout would be that huge.  Our volunteers rocked, we learned a lot, and I think Calhoun now has a great idea of how bad we want to make a difference for Christ in the community.


• Great crowd at the 8:00 am service ... I wonder if we could get that many to attend regularly at that time ... just thinking out loud :)


• Sunday morning ... wow!  I mean, WOW!!  From Dalton to Calhoun tons of guests and a good number of decisions made for Christ.  Don't have the final numbers yet but we did smash our previous record (which was set last week) -- I think the most important number will be what happens next week.


• Thanks to everyone who brought diapers today for the Family Crisis Center and the Woman's Enrichment Center (Dalton) and the Crisis Pregnancy Center (Calhoun).  You can still bring them next Sunday too!


• Prayers for this week:
  
  
  
  • TONS of follow-up to do from the Egg Drop, Easter, and decisions made for Christ ... I mean TONS.  Pray for all those who attended for the 1st-time and for those who made a spiritual decision!
  
  
  • My voice.
  
  
  • Our staff ... just thank God for them.  I can't thank and praise them enough!!
  
  
  • Could be a cool announcement coming in the next few days.
  
  
  • Next Sunday ... pray the move continues!!
