Weekend Update

- preached at Oasis Hollywood yesterday morning...always good to get back to US 1 & Plunkett... they had a potluck supper after, but I could not stay...
- raced to Oasis NoMi as soon as I was done @ Hollywood. Got there in time to hear the SURGE youth band absolutely rock the house... they are getting better and better each time I hear them...REALLY glad they were able to come to NoMi
-everytime I hear them, I sorta get ticked that we never had a great youth band in my 8 years of student ministry...hey, I am just being honest!
-but then I get happy that we have a great student band now...and some of those guys have been in SURGE since I left...
-James Brown spoke in NoMi and did a good job before he left on vacation...it is hard to preach when you know you are leaving the next day...
-had a meeting with Host Pastors yesterday afternoon...good to get with the guys who lead our 7NOW...told them some big news that we will sharing publicly in the next few weeks...God is doing something BIG! Good to have these guys who are praying for our church...
-Spoke last night at the Sunday night service...didn't feel like our crowd was into it...felt like I kept hearing crickets...
- I hate hearing crickets...is this mic on??
- yesterday, my parents celebrated 40 years of marriage...HOLY COW! I am so excited and honored to have them as my example...mom and dad, I am proud of you and looking forward to the next 40 years!! Thanks for showing us kids how to love each other and hang in there and fight for your marriage...
-only 30 1/2 years until Jeanine and I get there... I love you baby!
