It's beginning to look a lot like...

Season's Greetings faithful reader. Once again I deserve to be whipped by a wet sprig of mistletoe for my posting delinquency. I have been out of town in Mickey-ville the last few days. It gave us the chance to recharge a little. I will post a little bit more about the trip when I can (I was hit in the head by Pluto and almost cried into my citrus swirl during the trip...more later)

Well tonight is the first of our Christmas services. I am really anxious to see everyone this time of year. The lobby is always buzzing and the crowd always seem to be just a little bit more animated. I've been praying for several weeks now that everything will go smoothly and I'm sure that it will.

I have been putting together some thoughts for next weekend. I will be speaking about looking through the window of the future. It will be centered around that post-holiday tradition of the Clearance Sale and the Return Line. What things need to be cleared out of your life before the new year comes? What do you do with the things that you don't want around anymore? How can you prevent being "re-gifted" with things that you never want to see again?

That's where I'm headed with it. Pray for me that the Holy Spirit takes this sermon over and makes it supernaturally powerful.

Well, that's about it. We are putting the wraps on the videos for this week and they look great. This week's show (#96) is the message from last Christmas (the one where Troy repelled from the catwalk). It never aired on TV so it will be fresh and new. The next two weeks will be new shows and then a little run of reruns. If you aren't watching the show...you ought to give it a shot. If you are...tell your friends. We have almost 40,000 watching every weekend. Go God!

If you attend the Cooper City campus, see you this week! If you don't...enjoy one of the multisites! Either way...a great Christmas experience is just ahead!!!

Peace,
BV

Welcome Back glad to hear you and your family had a great time. Look forward to hearing your teaching. Got to tell you that a couple of weeks ago my sister had a baby and while in the hospital waiting I watched Influence for the first time. GREAT JOB. It really felt like FLAMINGO ROAD sans worship time, but it was really good. Way to catch the spirit!!
