Sunday Recap
ok so busy day today, (except the 2 hour nap I took after church).
Jarrod preached a great message this morning and it fit right along with a book I have been reading. It is called Lasting Impressions by Mark Waltz. Great book also.
Creative Team meeting today at XL was very good. We discussed our March series and it should be very interesting.
Make Shift band showed up tonight and really...
Question

Nobody's Perfect
All God’s people got issues. Right now in my life I got a couple of issues. Mandi and I have started a 30 day fast to deal with these issues. Just please pray that in these 30 days that God will reveal himself in a big way to us. Kind of funny that last night at XL Jarrod talked about facing our giants and then stomping them, killing them and then chopping their heads off so they...

8 more hours
only 8 more hours till we can check in. We are now in Cracker Barrel and I wish they would start a fire. You can hang meat in here.
Speaking of offensive
Well nevermind. I’m just rambling now.
detour
I tried to take a detour on the way down here since we were so early but Mandi woke up and I felt that I should ask her first. Guess that’s why I’m sitting in the parking lot sweating. I just wanted to go to New Orleans for a couple of hours. That’s only a 4 hour detour. Guess I have plenty of time to catch up on my blogs. Now I just need something offensive to blog about.
kids are playing a new game
the kids are playing a new game as I type. Its called don’t wake the bear (Mandi).
this post is for Jarrod
Did I mention I was hot and sweaty? Kind of reminds me of the Canada trip. I am sitting here wide awake, hot, laughing and not under any covers. Nuff said about that.
Hey Dave Bryant

My Version of Sunday Night Mind Dump!!!!!!
Ok so it all started at 6:00 this morning. I woke up (How crazy is that?). For real this morning I had forgotten to get Jarrod’s sermon put in Media Shout (the program we use to put the words on the screens at church). So I get to church early and get them all put in. Then Quinton and I decided to change some things. Then being the TRUE Baptist we are me and Jason Alford sit on the back...

We really are lucky people
I don’t know if anyone really realizes it (just Kidding) but we really do have a great Pastor. I just really wanted to thank him for that. With that being said I want to also thank Tiffany. I am sure it takes a strong person to put up with him. Also No Tiffany I am not mad because MaKenzie wouldn’t come to Wed. night. Thank you guys for everything you do, which is a whole lot. ...
What a day!!!
Ok so I go into XL this morning and dismantle the whole soundbooth. I took it all out computers, lightboard and everything else you can imagine. Then I got the bright idea I ought to call Cliff and make sure the college isn’t meeting Wed. Oops, of course they were meeting. So I finally got it all back didn’t even have time to play with the new Mac. Anyway went to pick up the kids...
Proud of Isaiah
Ok so we lost our first ballgame tonight. We just didn’t hit the ball tonight. Some games are like that. Anyways in the 3rd inning I decided to move him to second base. He is usually our catcher because he is really good there but it was hot today and decided to give him a break so I moved him to second. So to set this up there was a man on 1st and 2nd. The batter hit a rocket shot...
We adopted 2 babies today
We went to the big city of Collinsville Ala. It really was a lot of fun. I witnessed stuff I wish I hadn’t seen. Like a pig getting slaugtered. It probably wouldn’t have been as bad except it was a baby pig. Anyways so Mandi decided that she wanted to get a Pygmy Goat. Well I finally gave in so we headed back to where the goats were. Much to my enjoyment the Goat had already...
Don't Make Me Come Over There
Ok so everybody knows I am a mild mannered person. I am the same way on the baseball team I coach. Only problem was tonight they put a kid out there as an umpire that has probably never even watched a baseball game on T.V. Needless to say he made a terrible call and before I could even think what to do I was running straight to him at 2nd base. I really did feel bad after doing it because he...

XL Groups Meeting
I am pretty pumpled about the meeting tonight. We had a pretty good number stay for the meeting. My selfish side wanted everyone to stay but one thing God has shown me tonight is that He took 12 guys and changed the world. We had 3 times that many sign up tonight. Guess what we are going to do. Change the world starting with ourselves - Rome - Georgia and whoever else we can reach. Jump on...

XL Groups are coming!!!!!
So pumped up about tommorow night at XL. We are going to be giving an overview of the nuts and bolts of XL Groups. This is going to be after the service. I am trying to not be a numbers person but I really hope everyone will stay for the meeting. How can you know if groups are not for you if you never try?

Ask and you shall recieve!!!
Had a friend call me a few minutes ago. He was rather excited because he knew that God had just spoke to him. See the issue is last night he was on the fence about how he wanted to vote on the by-laws. He is 100% behind Jarrod but just wasn’t sure how to vote on the by-laws. Upon consulting him last night I told him the best thing he could do would be to pray and ask God to show him how...
Gonna get a little offensive here.
I’m not gonna name any names but their initials are *****. Well all I got to say about last night is God is always with us. In the good and bad He is still with us. I completely agree with what Mark said, if we stopped complaining and focused that energy on the people of Floyd County we could change this county. Then I have to give props to Randall, “How many people are going to...
Happy Easter
This is going to be a great day.
Vantage Point
Kind of a cross between Groundhog Day and The Borne Supremacy. It was definitely a movie that you don’t seem to take your eyes off the screen. Whats scary is this stuff could really happen. For all we know it already has happened in some sort. Not naming names but somebody jumped every-time they showed a replay. Come on after the second time you know its coming. Thanks for inviting us...
Hard Days Work
Well I put in a hard days work today. Cutting grass. The neighbors kid told me I smelled like a lawnmower so I guess I will go and take a shower. Sorry Jason I didn’t get to warm up my mower in your yard this morning. Maybe next time. By the way did that cartoon have anything to do with me on your blog?
This is not about anything
I’m just bored and don’t have anything to do or say. How is everybody? I am at such a loss for words that I can’t even offend anybody. I need some offensive ideas.
People get ready
Let’s get ready to rumble???
What I learned this morning
Ok so something very exciting is coming to XL on May 4th 2008 (I hope). So just reading in “The Message” this morning and came across something very interesting. Luke 8:4-10 As they went from town to town, a lot of people joined in and traveled along. He addressed them, using this story: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. Some of it fell on the road; it was tramped down and...
