Weekly Rundown (11.15.09)

• Had a great week out in San Diego with my Next Generation Leadership Network group.  I have been meeting with this group of pastors every six months for the past two years.  I can honestly say I am a better pastor, leader, and Christ-follower because of this opportunity to walk in community with others.  I must thank Leadership Network for their work to serve pastors and churches.


• Great services today as we continue in the Losing My Religion series.  I pray many are finding life in Christ through this series.  Next week at both campuses is a GREAT week to bring an unchurched guest ... someone who needs to know about Jesus and pray they hear God and experience His love!!


• Some in our Chatsworth launch team are taking road trips to visit other churches that meet in high schools.  This week they headed down to Charleston, SC to visit Seacoast Church's James Island campus.  They are learning a ton as we prepare to invade Chatsworth.
  
  
  
  • Last week they were up at Elevation Church in North Carolina.
  
  
  
  


• I'm really excited and encouraged by how our staff is thinking right now -- innovative, creative, and BIG!!  We have some amazing ideas to pray over & discuss.


• The 'Dawgs looked respectable against Auburn ... good win, bowl eligible.


• Football Friday is over for the year.  Good luck to the Calhoun Yellow Jackets as they continue in the state playoffs.


• I love to go to movies with my wife.  Our first date was at Star Wars: Episode I in Jacksonville, FL.  We have fun, are able to relax, and make memories together.  Well, this week is a BIG movie week:  the Twilight sequel, New Moon and the football movie, Blind Side both are in theaters this week.
  
  
  
  • My take on Twilight: pop culture phenenom; very entertaining; solid acting; unrealistic plot with a realistic emotional storyline.
  
  
  • Blind Side: based on a true story.  Good acting line-up.  Cameos by several college coaches.  Will be inspirational!
  
  
  
  


• Beth & I celebrate 8 years of marriage this week :)
  
  
  
  • So I'm justified in taking her to at least two movies this week, right?
