Sunday night download (Tuesday morning edition)

• Attendance down a little bit this past week-gotta get that momentum back!
• Thought the band did an EXCELLENT job on leading worship-hearing “Come In” will never get old to me.  And it’s not just because Tracey wrote it-I think it’s an amazing worship song, and it really fit with the series.
• Week 4 of the “End Times for Dummies” series.  I preached on Revelation 2, looking at the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna and Pergamum and how they relate to today.  Does our church look like either of those?  Maybe we’ll see something this week…
• Praying and contemplating extending this series one more week.  Would make it the longest series we’ve ever done.  Don’t know if I can include everything next week that I want to.  Need prayers for guidance and direction!
• Second week in a row without rain on Sunday.  Good thing/bad thing.  The sun was so hot coming through the big window that I think I got a tan while playing drums.  Just on my neck, though.
• Ken was out sick, and we really missed him, but Clark stepped up to lead “God With Us” and did a great job!  Love the flexibility and talent of our team.  I remember a time long, long ago when I went into panic mode when any one person from the team was going to be out.  JPC, we are extremely blessed with the level of talent on our worship team.  Don’t ever take that for granted.
• This past Saturday night, we had our first singles/college small group.  Went to Arby’s to eat (because we had coupons) and then went bowling.  Yes, it is true that I bowled two games and never broke 90.  Tracey “I have beaten my husband 95% of the time in bowling since we’ve been together” Fuller dominated the bowling match (or whatever you call it when you bowl).  My score for two games didn’t equal her score on her first game, and the girls beat the guys with much room to spare.
• By the way, I appreciate the fact that my horrendous bowling ability was the topic of conversation in Danny’s Sunday a.m. small group.  I’m just glad that I can make everybody else feel better about themselves!!!
• The Super Bowl was NOT the greatest of all time.  I thought it was sloppy with too many penalties, but there were some good plays and a good 4th quarter.  The commercials were funny for the most part.  Can’t believe that it cost 3 million dollars for a 30 second spot.  Wow!  I never hear what kind of return these companies get on their investment…
• Had our first small group at the Kilgore’s house and ate WAY too much chips and queso dip and drank one too many Diet Mountain Dews.  Although it did help me stay up when I got home to watch the hour long “Office” episode which followed the game.  The Kilgore’s are great hosts, by the way.  If you’re still looking for a small group, this would be a good one.
• Gotta go and get to work on February’s prayer guide and everything else on my ”to do” list.  C-ya!
