Heading of to staff meeting with a chicken biscuit!

Well the biscuit isn't going to actually be in the meeting, but it will be in MY BELLY.
We are meeting at 7am so if you are an early-bird blog reader please give a little prayer for us Discovery Church.

Stuff I miss from Tampa!

OK, we have been here for awhile (in NC) now and this is home, BUT I have been missing some of our old stompin' grounds from back in Fl. We have our new favorites here but nothing can replace your first love. So here are some of the things we miss from back home:

Sure NC knows how to do BBQ but Sonnys has all you can eat!!!!!!!


Imagine a grocery store that is clean, modern, great deli and EVERYONE gets the same low price without having to be a "member" and cary bulky cards on your keychain.....Thats Publix (rumor has it they are headed north!!!


Ihop is good and waffle house is.... well, it just "is", but If you haven't been to a Village Inn for breakfast, you haven't ever had breakfast! And for people who don't cook allot, it was the #1 stop for "bring a dessert". These people are pie masters!!!! UMMMM French Silk Pie!!!!!!! I'll be back in 22 hours!


So those are my Fl stops to make on the next trip down there. If you are out traveling and see one of these places, stop in and see what I am talking about.

in honor of Davey!

We had our annual PARTnership party this Saturday night and Sheila went in true Discovery Church Fashion!!! RAINBOW Sandals! When we moved up here, everyone and I do mean everyone was wearing these $50 flip flops!!! Even in the cold. So when we were thinking of a costume that would be right at home here at Discovery, nothing else would do.
So for the party we both wore Rainbows

I love our church!

And not just because they pay me!!!
I love the fact that we are portable. We don't own a building. We rent a local Boys and Girls club and "convert" it to a church every week. This weeks setup looked so good that I thought I would post a picture of it:


when we first walked into this building to see if it was doable, we had serious doubts! But persistence and a great big God, makes it a place to love and worship Him.

It takes about 12+ people just under 3 hours to set it all up every week. It is hard work but good fellowship. Stop by some Saturday night and throw some curtains around with us!!!

Wow, That was a crazy busy, fun weekend... I need a nap!

K, So Discovery church had our PARTnership dinner Saturday Night (pictures coming soon). It was a costume party with a 70's theme. We had Bar-b-cuties cater it and we had a blast. Thanks to all the people who have committed to this church and to God. Before that we had a get together at a friends house (Derek & Amy) on Friday (yeap, another costume party). Then comes Sunday, game day: we had church (duhh) then we had Financial Peace then Sheila and the teens girls are doing a study on purity and finally we had youth group. Oh yeah, youth group was a costume party also!
So a long story short is: we have been running wild around here and dressing up doing it all!

Over all it was a great weekend!
We started our 1st of 5 sermons on Cabbage and you gotta check it out! Children's church was different and fun and the youth have accepted a good challenge this week to read 1 John
