• Obviously the highlight of my Sunday was seeing all 5 of my kids walk into the church.
• I’m so glad everyone got to hear one of my favorite speakers (Craig Groeschel) this week.  He did an awesome job.
• See someone does have more kids than Dawn and I!!
• I heard Sharpsburg also loved the message and responded great to a video message.
• We (Madras folks) are not surprised.
• We will continue One Prayer this week with a speaker many will recognize.  Clue:  He is from the Atlanta / Northpoint / Buckhead area.
• I’ve already watched the message and it is just awesome.
• I met some really cool first timers this week.
• I’ve been able to see many picture of Ed on his trip to Israel.
• He will still be there about 8 more days.
• At this point in my life, I can’t be gone that long but I’m quite jealous reading about his trip.
• Last night’s volunteer banquet was so much fun.  270 people from 2 campuses got together for a night of food and fun.
• It’s always fun for me to see the Sharpsburg campus but I love the people at Madras.
• This week I have heard very sad news about 2 more pastors that I know that have had to step down from their churches due to personal indiscretions.
• Those stories always make me sad because I know how many people can be affected by what a pastor does in his personal life.
• I pray often that what I do in my personal life will not hurt someone else’s walk with God.
• Dylan had a baseball party Friday night and a few of my “paper people” were there and they just blew me away by their generosity to my family.
• Dylan is still in a back brace but continues to improve everyday.
• Dawn and I are taking our yearly short 2 day vacation (no kids) in 2 weeks to Amelia Island.  It’s been a very difficult 2 months and I’m really looking forward to it.
• Look forward to seeing you this Sunday for week 2 of God is…
