Friday Night Thoughts

Well, it's Friday evening. It's been a really crazy yet exciting week. There's only a week before the "official" launch of our Gary multi-site so things have been flying around the office. Here are a few thoughts.  

• The new Conservative Cafe in Crown Point is really nice. I took my MacBook Pro and headed there for lunch today. The sandwich was great, atmosphere really cozy, and the service was great. AND they have WiFi! It's a nice replacement for Panera Bread that's close to the church. 
• What's up with Al Gore getting a Nobel Peace Prize?
• Naps are wonderful! Charlene and I both came home from work and crashed for an hour today. I woke up with one of those nap hangovers. You know what I mean. I wondered where I was and what had just happened.
• Last night we had an incredible cell meeting. I was fired up and ready to take our region, and I hope my guys were too. I really came to the realization that we aren't to focus on being cell leaders or attending the Living Stones School of Leaders. We are to focus on winning lost people to Jesus. Being a cell leader and attending the School of Leaders is just an extension of what we are doing in life. 
• This Sunday should be exciting - we're commissioning our Gary team that will be a part of the official launch a week from now! We'll be doing that at the end of second service.
• We got all of the audio & video equipment for our Gary site this week. We actually used most of it for rehearsal on Wednesday night. We'll be doing a trial run with it in the youth room this Sunday and then pack in the trailer headed for Gary!

Please keep me in your prayers this week. A lot is happening and I really need your support.
