Haven't blogged in awhile, so here's some highlights of the past few days...
Soul Spa :: the annual CrossPointe retreat was August 7-9 out at Daytona Beach. All of the teaching were out of the Sermon on the Mount. I got the privilege of teaching the opening night session on the "wise and foolish builders" in Matthew 7. I'll let you know when audio is available. I also got to teach a breakout session on Matthew 5:38-42. God was very gracious as I didn't feel as settled as I normally do before a teaching.
More than anything, the time away was a good time of reflection for Heather and I as we thought of where we were this time last year. Soul Spa 2007 was our first connection with CrossPointe as we attended the first week I was on the new job. God has been so good to us! We are incredibly thankful for all the people from CrossPointe that we now count as friends. Excited that some of them will be coming with the church plant! Very cool to see how God is building His church.
Friday night was an extended time of worship and a foot washing service. It was a joy to be able to serve in this way and to pray for folks...it was a very powerful night.
Slabs :: all I have to say is that about half my backyard is going away! That's right, concrete is being poured tomorrow. Half-court basketball. Place for kids to ride their bikes. Less stupid Florida grass to cut.
Surgery :: Bit ironic that Tuesday the basketball court gets poured and Wednesday morning I will go under the knife to have my ACL reconstructive surgery...injury that occurred whilst playing basketball. I'll keep you posted on the surgery...maybe I should try blogging while under the influence of pain killers. That would make for some interesting posts.
Well there's what's going on. Going to try and recover from surgery and then get a church launched. Last Vision Night is August 24. You should come (assuming you're in the area). Sunday night weekly meetings begin on September 7. Whoa. Coming quick. Exciting. Peace.
