Sunday Night Mind Dump

Sitting here reflecting over the day - the week really.

- Realized again what a blessing it is to be able to interact with Bunny's piano students. As a direct result of those openings we welcomed Sam Hickman into the Kingdom this week and the Hickman family as part of our New Hope family.
- Was stunned when I put the pieces together this morning as it was unfolding and caught a glimpse of what God was doing in and through worship. Originally I was to preach today's message last week, but with baptism stepped away. This morning so many who were in attendance needed to hear it. Who wouldn't have heard it last week. You go God!
- Almost overwhelmed with emotion while singing "Forever"

Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise
Forever you are faithful
Forever you are strong
Forever you are with us
Forever

- again, people I love deeply are going through such tough times right now. To suddenly be flooded with the understanding of what God's love MEANS in the middle of singing a song...?
- I think they call that "worship"
- had three sermons going on this week - same passage - different angles - finally decided that the "Counter-cultural" was the "hook" it needed to get an audience
- "Something is wrong when our lives make too much sense to unbelievers." Francis Chan
- Whoever tried to take emotion out of walking the walk with Jesus was nuts. Passion drives action. Apathy is death.
- Looks like youth are going to W.Va. again on mission.
- I think Bunny and I will wind up going somewhere else if we're able to go. Maybe with another church,or a para-church organization.
- "Experiencing God" small groups start tomorrow night. I'm investing a lot into this and praying God will create a real revival through it.
- must be out of brain cells /end
