Today was phenomenal! The worship service this morning was outstanding, especially the E-Kidz video and the testimonies. Wow!
And the day only got better after service. At our Newcomers Lunch, I had the privilege of leading my new friend Mark to Christ. Nothing compares to that!
I worked out with a trainer this morning. It was free. And it made me want to throw up.
First of all, I’m no athlete. I’m a husband, dad and pastor who doesn’t want to be fat.

Tonight Holly asked me to pick up Zaxby’s for dinner. We love Zaxby’s. I fell in love with the Wings and Things combo many years ago. And Holly has [...]
We had a good meeting this morning with a couple staff members.
