MONDAY REFLECTIONS ON TUESDAY

* Incredible weekend at Lifepoint!

* Ended our Game Time series challenging people to use another currency they have, their gifts and talents, to advance the vision of reaching people far from God.

* We had A TON of people sign up to serve – amazing!!

* Our staff and volunteers did an amazing job making it simple for people to connect!

* There was a huge buzz Sunday morning about our Give Back Project!

* Great article in the Free Lance Star on Saturday!

* Training for the marathon is going great!

* We are in a season of huge momentum and increased commitment to what God has called us to do in this community. 

* Our new KIDSPOINT Director is in the office today, excited to welcome Steven Latham to the team. Steven has been serving as our Student Ministry Director in a volunteer capacity and is now transitioning to this new role. Exciting times!!

*Steven is a great example of hiring from within. It just makes sense, if they are the right person, to hire someone that has already shown commitment to the vision without making a dime!!

* I am an uncle again – my sister and brother-in-law have adopted a little girl – she was born yesterday!! 

* Asking God to answer some very specific request right now that will have huge impact on my effectiveness long term.

* Probably the best Super Bowl I have seen – amazing game – still wish the Cardinal’s had pulled it out in the end.

* I think Kurt Warner choked when the pressure was on!

* Can’t wait to start our new series this weekend! More to come tomorrow!

* Thankful for all that God’s doing – just need to remind myself that we are blessed and it’s God building this church – nothing more and nothing less!!

LIFEPOINTGIVESBACK.ORG

Our local paper, The Free Lance Star, wrote an awesome article about our Give Back Project. 

You can check out the article here! Leave a comment at the bottom of the article with your thoughts!!

LIFEPOINT GIVES BACK

So, I knew that this would be an incredible initiative in the life of our church. BUT I had no idea how the buzz would spread throughout our community so quickly. I got voicemails and text messages all morning telling me to listen to two different radio stations which were talking up lifepointgivesback.org in a big way on their morning show – AMAZING!!

I was expecting BIG things from this – but dang!!. Check out the stories as they continue to come in throughout the week – radical generosity in action!!

MONDAY REFLECTIONS

Where do I start? 

* Unbelievable morning at Lifepoint – one of those Sunday’s I will never forget!!

* This month we have been teaching on finances – specifically creating margin so that we can be generous people – radically generous.

* This morning we put radical generosity into practice by giving away $12,000. Everyone walked out with an envelope which contained either $10, $20, $100, $500, or $1000 – there were three ground rules (1) You can’t give it to Lifepoint (2) You must bless someone and (3) You have to tell us what you did with the money at Lifepointgivesback.org

* I don’t think anyone expected what happen today – we are serious about RADICAL GENEROSITY – this is just the beginning!! 2009 is the year of generosity!!

* When so many ministries are cutting back and playing defense we have decided to do on the offense and GIVE BIG!

* It was amazing to hear people in the lobby talking about what they were going to do with the money.

* Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds (get the point) of people in this community are going to be blessed – WOW!!!

* Love our people!!

* Love our volunteers!!

* Love our staff!!

* Got to hang out with Owen tonight – he is so much fun!!

* Watched a little bit of Newspring’s web campus – incredible – of course you expect any less!!

* It’s still setting in that a little girl while enter my life in June – Floyd baby #2 – wow!!

* My sister and brother-in-law are adopting a little girl which should arrive this week – amazing God story!!

* This is going to be a busy week – looking forward to getting a ton accomplished!!

* Chris Rohdy is coming down tomorrow for lunch – looking forward to spending some time together!!

* Did I mention that we gave away $12,000 dollars this morning?? lifepointgivesback.org

* So pumped about what God is doing – He is building His church – enjoying the ride!!

THIS SUNDAY

I am so excited about this Sunday! It’s going to be one of those services that everyone will be talking about for a long time!

We are about to take generosity to a WHOLE NUTHA LEVEL!!!!

So, don’t miss it and DON’T COME ALONE – it’s going to be AMAZING!!

AN HISTORIC DAY

If your thinking it sure is, President Obama became the first African American President of the US -although that’s historic it’s not the most important thing that happened in my world today.

I found out that Tammie and I will be having a little girl in June. That’s right daddy’s little girl, my little princess, my sweetheart – looking forward to it.

Owens got a rude awakening coming in June – that’s all I’m saying!! This is going to be fun!!
