If the weather would have been any warmer, the crowd might have been a little larger.
And if the crowd had been any larger, we couldn’t have handled it.
There would have been ambulances involved.

Well over 4000 folks came out to the 2nd annual Elevation Egg Drop this morning at Porter Ridge High School.
It was freaking pandemonium. This is twice the amount of people we had at the event last year.

And we only had about half the space on the field that we had last year.
Whoa.

Plus, we had to 86 the hot air balloon (from which we had planned to drop a couple thousand of the eggs) at the last minute because of the violent wind.
Dang.

So it was more like the Elevation Egg Rush.

It reminded me of Thanksgiving. You know, when all the ladies spend 8 hours cooking this incredible meal, and then in 5 minutes, it’s gone.
Once our bouncers released the 10-12 year old section to run onto the field, there was a cloud of dust and poof… 10 minutes later the eggs were gone.

I think we introduced ourselves to Union County in quite a memorable fashion.
It was a fantastic event.

Since we’re launching our Elevation Union campus at Porter Ridge tomorrow, it was amazing for me to see the traffic backed up and cars parked all over the sidewalks, and to imagine what God is going to do through our team. Maybe we’ll break fire code on day one. The possibilities are staggering.

One more thing: OUR VOLUNTEER TEAMS ARE AMAZING!
The sea of orange shirts and the spirit of hospitality and service blew me away.
You guys never cease to amaze me!

Tonight we tape the Easter message for the Union campus. Then 3 services tomorrow.
Then maybe we’ll hibernate til August.
Yeah right.
