• Great day on Sunday as we closed out the Rebel series!
• Early Monday morning we loaded a Mini-Bus and headed to Memphis with our staff.
• We have never been more excited about what God is doing than we are right now!  The next 6 months are going to be incredible!
• We were in meetings 90% of the time we were there, but it was good to catch up with a few people we haven’t seen in quite some time.
• Read Luke 2:52 and allow it to become a prayer in your life.
• I love our team of people and I am honored to be doing this with them.
• There has never been as much opportunity to impact the lives of people as there is right now.  The message of Jesus Christ can go further and faster than at any other time in history.
• If the church isn’t powerful than we are misrepresenting Jesus to the people around us.
• The next 2 Sunday’s are going to be life-changing for a lot of people at Freedom Church.  Get there early!

• We got back from vacation on Saturday night.  Had a great time.
• Pre-recorded a message a few weeks ago that we used on Sunday.  We’ve used video teaching a few times and it works great!
• I had a birthday this past week as well.  I’ll talk more about that in a later post.
• I will say that I was surprised with a Wii and all the “fixings” while on stage this past week.  Much fun!
• After not having preached for the past two weeks – I am even more more pumped about Sunday. Can’t wait!
• There are a lot of crazy things happening in the lives of people right now. Praying for God to pull off the miraculous in the lives of individuals and families.
• I have never been more excited than I am right now about what God is doing at Freedom Church!

If God has given you a vision – you are going to have to sell it.  If no one is willing to buy-in than you will stall out before you ever have a chance to get started.

Stop apologizing for the dreams God has placed in your heart and sell the idea with confidence.  When it comes to the vision, if you don’t believe in it, than it is acenine to think that anyone else would.  Stop aplogizing and go for it!

• At this very moment (barring some horrible tragedy), Devin and I are enjoying a cruise!
• I heard Blake and Tyler did a great job on Sunday!  I am so proud of them  and not just for Sunday.  They are both incredible musicians AND leaders.  You would be surprised how rare of a combination that is.
• We have the greatest partners on the planet!
• I have been on several cruises in my lifetime.  I don’t think there is a much better way to vacation.
• Before we left, someone anonymously left a few hundred dollars in my car for us to enjoy on the cruise.  Whoever you are – thank you!
• I believe that Sunday is going to be a VERY powerful day!  See you then!

Since Devin and I are on a little vacation blogging will be a little sporadic over the next several days.

I might throw up a few posts and possibly post a couple pictures.

Either way, have a great week!
