Monday Mind Dump

Yesterday was a very cool day @ Journey...We really hit the ground running the first Sunday of '08.

• We had a great crowd yesterday.  Some first timers, lots of 2nd and 3rd timers and some came back that haven't been in a while.
• I'm glad the holidays are behind us... I love the holidays, but being without the band really stinks.
• The band rocked yesterday!
• I'm so pumped about this new series-- HD Living... living our lives in High Definition.  I think it's the most practical stuff we've done... I love the Sermon on the Mount.
• I love the guy who preached the Sermon on the Mount.
• We messed up the recording of the message yesterday and it sounds like I'm in a hole... I hate when that happens.
• We have an amazing crew of volunteers that make Journey happen every week!  Thanks!
• We're rolling out our new database-- FellowshipOne-- it's taken a while to get it up and running, but I think it's going to make us more effective in reaching people.
• I'm pumped about going to Jamaica in May. 
• I'm also pumped about all the people that were at the informational meeting yesterday... we may have to call and get more spots!
• It's great to hear people in the community talking about our church and our commitment to being a missional church.
• This week is going to be slammed because we're going on a One Day Staff Retreat this Saturday. 
• I'm looking forward to hanging out with our ministry team and doing some creative and strategic planning.  We'll also squeeze a little play time in there too!
• I'm doing this Time Management Audit and I can't believe how much time I spend driving, preparing and eating... that's a chunk... I've got to learn to multi-task better.
• My son, Seth has a basketball game tonight... He loves the game and I can't help him at all because I can't jump or shoot... so he schools me every time we play!
• Abby is driving every chance she gets... I feel like I have my own personal chauffer.
• I hope LSU puts it on Ohio State.  They need to win by at least 21 points!
• Can't believe it's going to be 76 today... time to break out the flip flops again!
