darn rubber-neckers!

there is nothing to see here, move on!

So what’s going on with the Cannons?

We have been so busy it is hard to sit down and catch you all up. As you know Discovery took about 12 people to the huge Catalyst Leadership Conference in Atlanta Ga. It was amazing and I gave you a short take home in my last post. I have another big conference called Impart on next Tuesday and a possible one on Thursday. These things give us so much info that our heads are ready to pop. We are constantly being reminded how much we DONT KNOW!

This past Sunday we took Crosslink (our youth) to a corn maze. It was huge and nice. We had a blast. We learned: if you have a map, you can find your way. I had a map but failed to pass out the other 3 that I printed. Our team was the only one to complete the entire maze. When we were done we headed back to the cars to send the kids off and Sheila was wrapping up and managed to slam her finger in the van door. It was pretty nasty and we had to spend the night at the ER. She broke the tip and cut around 3 sides of her pinky. There are pictures up HERE but you need to prepare yourself! She is doing good and has more stitches to add to her list. She has more scares than Rambo!

It seems that our churches cars are under attack. We have so many friends with broke down cars. We have fuel pumps out, leaking radiators, slipping transmissions, blown engines, flooded cars and wrecked cars. I am doing what I can to help as many of them as possible but that takes money and most of us don’t have that much laying around. I could use a Pontiac and Toyota engine and a radiator for a Grand Prix. The fuel pump was Pastor Jason’s and we got that fixed. One by one we will get them fixed. Just pray for us and our cars.

That’s enough for now, consider yourselves updated for now.

ok, the hydrant is closed and I'm soaked!

how do you process so much info crammed into your head in two day? Wow! It hurts! We just got back from the Catalyst Leadership Conference with 12 Discovery church people. We heard from some of the country's best leaders and speakers and I got my socks knocked off.

So I was thinking: How do I grab any of this since there was so much and I decided to Snactch just a thought from each that I could use and apply. So here you go, 2 days, 11 messages in as few words as possible:

Andy Stanly: trust them 1st

Louie Giglio: Seek His Face

Chuck Swindoll: empty hands can be filled

Dave Ramsey: the tortoise wins

Priscilla Shirer: copy God

Fracnis Chan: The Cross!

Matt Chandler: Know the finish before you run.

Rob Bell: Jesus didn’t do popular & Family 1st

Shane Hipps: Guard or Gardner?

Malcolm Gladwell: Overconfidence loses

Andy Stanly: Words are cheap!

I may break these down for you later, but I may not!

Catalyst

Sorry for not giving you all a minute by minute updat of this amazing conference but this is for me and if I get "this" then that will be for you all. We start day two in 7 minutes so I will see y'all soon.

OK ready or not, here we come>

Myself along with 11 other Discovery Church people are at Catalyst Conference in Altanta Ga. for the next two days and...well to put it as simple as possible, to drink from a hydrant! We will be bombarded with truth and challenge by some of the best and most influential speakers know.

My prayer for me is that I would hear exactly what God needs me to hear and be open to what He wants from me.

My prayer for the group is that they would see their potential within the church body.

My prayer for the conference is that Jesus and Him resurrected would be lifted up, the simple truth made know to everyone there.

I will try to provide an update between session but no promises. There will be a lot of info to process.

Love you guys and will see some of you soon.
