Monday morning thoughts

Here it is a nice Monday morning after 2 good weekends and its time to put down in words a few thoughts and such. Last weekend of course was the final message from PK and we got to celebrate the Sorenson's and Pinkerton's with a little gathering after service but also during service. I was honored to be able to pray for them and their new adventures that they are embarking on. I am excited to hear of all the blessings and miricles that are going to be happening out in Escondido in the coming months. That was a tough one for me to get through but with a little help from above we got through it. I have been incredibly blessed to be able to work with and minister with these two families for the past few years. There is still time for a little radio fun before they head out. We ended the service with a fitting song as a tribute to these families, "Jesus Freak". Judging from the response of the people during that song and all the feedback I've gotten since that song went over very well.

Last night was my first night of leading the youth group during the message time and it went pretty good, I've still got a ways to go but I got more comfortable as the night went on. Last night we started a video series called Am I Happy, got 3 more weeks of videos and discussions then it will be time to start coming up with a few topics to discuss and give a little message on. I am both excited and nervous at the same time but I think good things are in store.

It's Opening Day

Today is the official Opening Day for Major League Baseball, I don't consider last nights game as an Opening Day game it's just a made for TV kind of thing. Now if I were still in school I would skip today to stay home and watch baseball all day. Looked at the guide on the tube today and see that there is supposed to be 4 games on as well as a big NCAA basketball game I've been hearing about lately, but there is a possible glitch. On the guide the first two games of the day in Cincinnati and Chicago have a black circle on them so I'm wondering if they will be blacked out here which would mean that the 4 pm game with the Braves would be the first one I could watch, I hope thats not the case but oh well.

We put our big surprise off yesterday at church and will work a little more on it this week and bust it out next Sunday so be sure to be there. Next Sunday will be a emotional rollercoaster as we celebrate PK and the Pinkertons last Sunday with us. I've said it before that this is bittersweet because I'm selfish and want them to stick around but I know God's call trumps mine everytime and there are big things in store for So Cal later this year. Don't forget that this Friday from 8 to 11 you can check us out on Solid Rock Friday Night on Joy FM which will be a blast and I get bonus time this week on Joy FM for their sharathon. I will be on Wed, Thu and Fri from 10 to 12 helping out and I'll be handling the phones Wed & Thu from 8-10 so give me a call and help out the station.

Worship yesterday was amazing and I was floored at how many people were there, that was cool. Thanks to Kyle P. for letting me borrow his footpedals for yesterday. The power chord to my pedal decided to finally give out Thursday at practice so I got a new one ordered and it should be here in a day or two and we'll be back to normal but big thanks to KP for the help.
