Tons on my mind...

• Thanks for all the hard work that went into highpointchurch.tv. Amy Roos, Courtney Feia, Joseph Sunde, Terry Peterson, Elizabeth Farina made this thing shine!!!
• I am expectant for God to do some amazing things at High Point over the next few weeks as we walk through "The Smoothie Life". I just keep praying for the Holy Spirit to take us to the next level! To take me to another level. I am reading through Acts 19 right now and am amazed at what God did to make himself known in that day. How much more does he want to make Himself known through you and me in this day and age.
• Iran is a serious situation that needs our prayers. I love technology and I feel like we are witnessing something truly transformational... Twitter and Facebook and so many other social networking sites have given the world a glimpse into something that just a few years ago we would have no way to see inside... check this out... and this... and this if your so inclined.
• I am amazed at how the Holy Spirit works on so many levels in my life... I read a book, hear a message, get challenged by a friend, and watch a movie and they all point me to something the Holy Spirit is speaking to me. I am so grateful that he is alive and working today in our lives.
• I found out a pastor who I had fallowed over the years had an affair. It bothers me, It hurts me, it puts the FEAR OF GOD in me.Anytime this happens it causes me to reach out to God and ask him to inspect my life. I reevaluate my guidelines. I tell my wife about it and together we pray and pry into one anothers lives deeper. I am determined I will not go down like that! Sin may be natural but it is not Inevitable!!! Do a little gut check and make sure your not living to close to the fire i don't want any of you to get burned.
• I am working on our next few months of series. Pray that the Holy Spirit puts an amazing line up together like he did this last series. This is often a very intense process for me... I bear the weight of vision, growth and outreach on my shoulders. The enemy distracts, sleep gets disturbed and I never seem to get enough done. Pray that we have an amazing FALL! Pray that I and the team hear from God. Pray that lives are changed.
• Brett Favre is still in contract talks. I am so mixed about this. On one hand I love to watch that guy play!!!! Any time he take the field he does it with such joy! (Their is a real lesson in loving what you do in that.) I also think he is great for about 10-13 games and after that his age catches him. Which means that the Vikings would look pretty good until he self destructs leaving room for the Packers to come on strong at the end. On the other... He should stay retired and go back to Green Bay as a hero not a traitor.
• Equipment is getting old at High Point. We fried 2 sub-woofers on Sunday. I am not sure how you fry both of them but we did. Our signage needs love. The FCC just took away our mhz waveband for our wireless mics making them contraband. We will faze out of using them soon and slowly replace them. Its a bummer when you have to re buy equipment.
• My Parents are back in the country. I get nervous when they leave even though I know that they are fallowing Gods plan and are in His hands. "Thank you Jesus for bringing them back home safe." 
• Today my daughter taught me the Joy of dancing in my living room. I don't dance in my living room enough. I don't dance enough before the Lord. 
• My wife asked me what would make it a special Fathers Day... it took me off Guard. I do not know why but I just wasn't thinking about it. Now I think I want a manly piece of meat or something. Maybe we should grill a big chunk of animal. I am not sure... I can't wait till my daughter can make me something.
