Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

It was my privilege to perform the wedding ceremony for Beatriz Perdea and Tony Perez. They are a great young couple with a love for God. No rehearsal, we all "just" showed up, and it went great.

It's always special two watch two people who want Christ at the center of their lives unite as a married couple.

At Paul and Franca's farewell reception, our Nigerian brothers and sisters led us all in a spiritual dance. You talk about fun.....I can't tell you how much I love and appreciate them. You and old alike "danced" before the Lord, African style.

Stephanie Hiller is going to do a great job for us as our interim worship leader.

It was a great visual to see all of our life group leaders and hosts stand before our church family.

Two weeks in a row we have had a fire truck and ambulance come. As if we needed more excitement.

God's presence was real and powerful in our services.

Great time in our life group - we all opened up and talked about fear. I'm not the only one that has fears in their life.

The Dallas Cowboys stink. And to lose to the Bears. Oh my. They have dug a hole that I don't think they can get out of.

We have a great church with good people.

One of the Chicago Cubs players was stuck in the chest with a piece of wood from a broken bat as he was standing on third. He still scored. That's what I call commitment.
