Weekly Rundown (8.31.08)

• I preached live at our Calhoun Campus today ... GREAT TO BE THERE!


• There is a great vibe, feel, or "buzz" in Calhoun ... welcoming spirit, hanging out in the lobby, good worship, excitement, etc.


• I can't figure out holiday weekend attendance patterns to save my life: up or down?


• Praying for fellow Americans on the Gulf coast as Gustav prepares to make landfall.


• Went to Athens yesterday to see the 'Dawgs play ... I think everyone including the manager got to play.  Loads of young talent who played great.  I hope we drop in the rankings though ... that #1 thing is a big bullseye on our backs.


• We open STAGE 123 in 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!! 


• Prison Break starts back on Labor Day!!!!


• Olympics followed by political conventions and the start of football season = I am not getting enough sleep.


• I had lunch with 2 awesome business leaders in our community this week.  I went over some of the leadership challenges and opportunities in our church and God used both of these people to speak truth into my life.  I am reminded that all truth is God's truth and that we can learn from anybody.


• I've been slacking with exercise lately and I feel it.


• Please PRAY BIG & BOLD this week for Stage 123!!  We have a huge opportunity to reach more people for Christ, to create another incredible environment for people to experience God & His church at work, to minister more effectively to the next generation, and to better serve our community.


• I love the adventure of following God!!
