weekend wrap up

Lots of words to describe this weekend:

• I spoke a TON–preached 4 services at Calvary, 2 chapel services for minor league baseball teams, and delivered the opening message for SOS (our sorta-city-wide youth camp)
• put some kayaks in the water with Andy yesterday morning, followed by some good grub at the Bellefonte Waffle Shop. I love that guy.
• not much sleep happening in my life this week, or last week for that matter.
• SOS is in full swing. Great band, led by Stephanie Peters. She is a blessing to the church!
• I could not ask for better people to work with–friends in ministry together makes it so much more than a JOB–it’s pretty much fun.
• I was thrilled to see more than 50 students playing, worshiping, and getting geared up to go serve our community together this week. God is going to do some good things this week!
• Kim and her Mary Kay buddies had a booth at the Spikes game tonight. These beautiful (inside and outside!) ladies were showing off their “before and after” pictures! I think some of the pictures were even shown on the jumbotron–talk about bravery!
• Calvary is launching an of-site venue at the high school South building in October, which should be an awesome opportunity for us to move closer to saturating our community with the Good News of Jesus.
• my phone was resting quietly on a wooden stool during my message last night when it began to BUZZ. Not once, but twice, plus the unfortunate BEEP of a message waiting. That’d never happened to me before. It was kinda funny, but embarrassing, too. It won’t happen again.
• I told on my self for leaving the phone on during the 9:15 service, and didn’t someone else’s phone starting ringing!
• started an email conversation with a guy who stopped in last night with his family to worship. He runs a ministry in the next county over, and it looks like the kind of thing that would be right up Calvary’s alley.
• Kim and I got to talk tonight for a good bit. I love my wife! God totally blows me away with his goodness…
• I’m beat, but I want to read a little before turning in.
