The Rundown (5.18.08)

• Great finish to our COMMITTED series today with Communion this morning and baptism celebration this afternoon!


• Today was what Rock Bridge is all about -- life change, hundreds of "git r' done" volunteers, BBQ, fellowship, and 100% thankfulness that God lets us be part of His church.


• Our new "all things" Tech guy, Brian Holt starts Tuesday!! Brian will oversee all audio, visual, lighting, IT, and production elements for the entire church -- Sunday worship, Children's production, Student Worship, and multi-site.  We're pumped to have Brian join our team all the way from Ohio ... welcome to sweet tea, Waffle House, and SEC football!!


• The high school senior girls just invaded my house to "wake up" my wife (yes I was in on their little prank) ... it's 1:15 am!! 


• I can't sleep because I'm still so pumped about today ... the stories told at baptism were absolutely amazing -- young people saved through our Student Ministry, children who learned about Jesus from our Children's Ministry, (there are some AMAZING volunteers & staff in our Student/Children Ministries!!), people who were help captive by addictions but set free in Christ, people who were in jail, people who had been away from church for years, and people who know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus ... WOW!!


• American Idol finals are this week: David vs. David.


• I actually baptized myself today trying to move a rock that my foot kept hitting and slipping on in the creek ... I wonder if that is a first??


• The progress in Stage 123 is so exciting!!  Now we've got to start getting ready to use this facility for God's glory and for the vision He has given us.


• Date with wife on Monday + American Idol finals on Tuesday/Wednesday + new Indiana Jones release this weekend = LIFE IS GOOD = GOD BLESS AMERICA = THANKFUL
