Wide awake after midnight

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

It’s well after 12am, and I’m all wound up.
And it ain’t just the Diet Coke.
Or the fact that Holly and I had an awesome date tonight at Cheesecake Factory.
It’s because I’m a freak, and I am laying in bed writing my sermons for our one year anniversary celebration mini-series, The Sound.
I can’t help it. The [...]

A throwback line for all my true dogs.
Here’s what inspired it:
Last night we had our first GroupLink (the small groups version of speed dating), and I decided to spy.
Why didn’t I just walk in?

Well, I’ve never ever promoted anything for anybody on this blog, and I’ve been going strong for 5 months now.

I love it.
And the totals are in: almost 400 of you signed up for GroupLink.
The Levine Senior Center [...]

That was amazing.
Congratulations Tony Dungy. And Peyton Manning. I’m sure you guys are daily readers.

Sunday Nights

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Holly told me tonight: “I love Sunday nights“.
I do too.
We’re in such a season of momentum and blessing right now at Elevation, it’s like every Sunday evening is a little family celebration.
Today after church we ate leftovers (my wife can turn cold pizza and Thursday night’s pasta from Outback into an Italian buffet!), caught up [...]

Hilarious

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Damion and his crew are putting the finishing touches on what will definitely be the most hilarious thing we’ve ever done at Elevation. Let’s just say the first 5 minutes of Sunday’s sermon will have very little spiritual value. But you’ll never forget it. And I’ll have lots of new friends. (That’s a clue).
Every time [...]
