Weekend Wrap-up

August 10th, 2009

  • Swept away my bride for a weekend away at the Laughing Lizard Bed and Breakfast!
  • Tina is the most beautiful person I know, both inside and out!
  • SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!
  • Crosspoint Church celebrated 3 YEARS of serving Spring Hill on Sunday and it was amazing!
  • Chris Fickley created an amazing and moving video that told a wonderful story of life-change… very God-honoring and yup, I was crying in the back row!
  • The video will be posted here shortly…
  • I am continually blown away by the generosity of God’s people.
  • Giving NEVER slowed down the Kingdom of God.
  • The stories I heard over and over of how God has provided in people’s lives and how he has healed and restored marriages is the kind of stuff I NEVER get tired of.
  • Ended my evening by watching the Yankees SWEEP the Red Sox… that’s also something I NEVER get tired of…

Weekend Wrap-Up

August 2nd, 2009

  • First off I spent the entire weekend either tripping, stubbing, slipping, rolling, or hitting my feet, toes, ankles, and shins!  I think God was teaching me to look where I walk.
  • Friday is my Saturday… I love every minute of them.  This one was no different!
  • We spent Friday baby sitting Keegan Riley Castelli, PaulCastelli’s baby girl.  It was fun playing with her and playing house with Tina.  Barkley and She-Ra liked her too… they thought she was delicious!
  • Netflix is making BIG TIME money off of me!  We have had the same movie for 2 months and we still haven’t watched it!
  • Instead we rented one from HD-On Demand… Not what we expected.  Chick Flicks have NO NEED to be in Hi-Definition!
  • Saturday started off great!  We partnered with the CCA (Christian Contractors Association) to help paint the home of a needy family in the area.  Once again, the people of Crosspoint wowed me with their faithfulness and diligence in getting the task done!  I’ll post more about this project later.
  • I decided to take more pictures this time around and did way less work than I’m used to… and believe me, the work crew did NOT let me forget it!  No mercy!
  • Funny thing, I managed to nap through a noisy baby on Friday but I couldn’t sleep through a whiney puppy on Saturday.
  • Caught the Rays vs. Royals game at the Trop with The Russ Family and Kip and his nephew Jacob.  Had a blast at the game, and we didn’t spend a fortune either!
  • Daughtry was in concert after the game… it took over an hour for the concert to start because the set-up crew couldn’t get their act together! (They should have had the Crosspoint crew doing it!)
  • I wanted to stay for the end of the concert to hear them sing “Home” (which is the only song of their’s that I know!)  But I was beat and needed to preach so we went… home.
  • Sunday Sunday Sunday!
  • “UP” has been my favorite series that I have preached in a long time!  We switched it into the calendar a couple of months ago and it grew to be a powerful and life-changing message series.
  • We were WAY short handed today, we still haven’t perfected how to handle absenses (both planned and unplanned) but in true Crosspoint fashion, our crew stepped up it’s game and it turned out beautiful.
  • Got to catch the latest Baptism video… I’m blown away at the lives that are being changed for Jesus here at Crosspoint.  Thank you God!
  • Tough conversations are supposed to be just that.  TOUGH.  I don’t like them, but the end result (if done correctly) can really become a blessing.
  • Tina and I conquered Sam’s and got a ton of supplies necessary for Crosspoint’s 3rd Anniversary Baptism Celebration!  Getting ready just got me STOKED for this event!

Weekend Wrap-Up

July 29th, 2009

Normally this would come on a Sunday or Monday, but since the blog is finally ready, I’ll post this on a Wednesday. Get off my back already!

  • Dentist visits remind me of how much I can’t stand the sound of metal on teeth!
  • Officer Friendly reminded me of how much I really hate getting pulled over!  I don’t even have the ticket… just the feeling of the flashing lights being behind me really irritates me!
  • Spending the day with my wife really is one of my favorite things to do…
  • By the way.  PUNCH OUT for the Wii is a HUGE stress reliever!
  • The Beach Reach was off the hook!  Handing out bottles of water, sun screen, and frisbees to the people at the beach was a great way to show God’s love.  Bumped into one of my Boot Camp members there and was reminded of the impact that simple act of kindness could make.
  • I have a Jeep Wrangler.  I love it!  Especially on Top Down Days like Saturday!!
  • Hung out with some of Tina’s teacher friends and their men on Saturday night.  I loved hearing some of the wildest stories that I’ve never heard before… interesting people on are my “favs” list.
  • I was so pumped for Sunday morning, I could barely sleep.
  • The message was so “in your face” I loved it… I may be one of those “sick” people I described at 11am.
  • Without real accountability you are fighting an uphill battle!
  • Paul, Brad, & Chris, did an INCREDIBLE job of protecting the speaker on Sunday!
  • On record.  Crosspoint Church of Spring Hill, Florida has THEE best volunteers ever!  And if you doubt it, meet me out in the back parking lot after church… I’m sure I’ll have back-up.

Crosspoint Flashback…

July 28th, 2009

In just a few weeks we’ll be celebrating 3-years of serving Spring Hill at Crosspoint.  It’s hard to believe it’s been 3!  Somedays it feels like a short bit of time and some days I feel like I’ve been doing this forever… the truth is however, there is NOTHING like.  And there’s no where else I’d rather be!
