Making Room Monday

Greetings Faithful Readers...

Well, it's that time again...time to pick up the nic-nacs in my brain and pack them away to make room for more... Embrace the randomness....

1) Already nearly 90 people have signed up for our new online community site www.frccommunity.com! Pastor Troy himself even signed up last weekend...how cool is that? It's been amazing leaving comments alongside people from Columbia, Peru, and England! My motivation behind it was to create a place where people could come during the week to keep the connections they made during the weekend. God is doing amazing things online...

2) I am teaching live this weekend on the Internet Campus! I have never taught an entire sermon to the camera before...I am confident that it will turn out fine...I am talking about the Good Samaritan...but in a unique way. Looking forward to sharing what God has placed on my heart this weekend!

3) This new Christmas series is going to blow your mind. I'm serious. When Pastor Troy says it hasn't been attempted since the church in Acts 2...he isn't kidding.

4) Halloween was pretty fun for my family...Brianna went out as a "Sweetheart Bat". Mindy had the flu so Brianna and I walked around our neighborhood and begged for packaged sweets. To be honest, I enjoyed the walk with her more than any part of the evening.

5) I am having Disney withdrawl.

6) Mindy took this picture...she said the vampire tattoo on my daughter's arm looks like me... what do you think? --->

7) Just picked up the new Sara Bareilles live at the Fillmore. Great stuff.

8) Many people ask me if I am still running. The answer is...yes...but it now hurts me badly when I do. My shins have never quite healed from the shin-splints. I'm going to keep running because I love the way it makes me feel (except for the shins). See you at the Jingle Jog!

That's about it from me...as always, thanks for reading!
