1st Christmas gift of the year!

My do boy (aka Brad) went out and got Jason, Randy and me tickets to the Trans-Siberian Choir!
It was Saturday night and man, let me tell you... It ROCKED MY SOCKS. I have never seen anything like that before! Between the music and the lights/effects, I was in sensory overload.

I took a few videos with my phone before it melted from all the fire:
Turn down your volume!

Remember when I used to post the numbers?

Yeah, me too. Sorry I honestly forgot that I do this.

Quote of the week:

I have been listening to a few of Greenville's local church podcast and this statement rocked me:

"The big difference between us and God is that God doesn't think he is us"
Wow, so true, how often do we try to take control of what is rightfully Gods? Let's let God be the "I Am".
not the "I was" or the "I may" or the "I will someday".

Good Sunday at work

The music sounded great, We had a good amount of people come out to hear about God and what he wants from us. We rocked Children's church (which we call the ROCK!) and youth group (Crosslink) was shocking. At youth we split them up into groups to do a little discussion. We did this a few years back but it has been awhile.

So the wrap up of a crazy week was good and felt refreshing. Sometimes I feel guilty being paid to do this stuff!

Oh yeah, this week I am taking TWO sabbaths!!!!

Violent Pastor

ok the one in the red headgear is Pastor Jason. I was thinking that he needs prayer but the video below showes that Romans 12:19 still holds true:



so in short: you should not pick on people, especially not Joey!
