Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

As you might know, the "complaint department" at our church is always open - and continually being used.

So....everyone once in a while, it's nice to receive the following (that was placed in the suggestion box):

"U guys are doing great!! I love this church!"

I believe all of us are the same - we can go a long time on one compliment.

What can I say about the Dallas Cowboys last night? 

One word - Romo.

A good quarterback who will never be "great".

Tough loss.

It was moving for me to see all of the firefighters and police officers in the first service in uniform.  It was our privilege to have them all in attendance, especially Chief McCarthy of Orland Park (who as the secret service agent who took a bullet to save President Reagen's life).  They are all American heroes.  Thanks to all of them for coming.

We were also privileged to have State Representative Renee Kosel with us.  Her words concerning the fact that our nation continues to be "Under God" were both powerful and stirring.

We will "never forget" September 11, 2011.

May God continue to provide comfort to the families that lost loved ones that day.

Thanks to everyone who made yesterday so meaningful - the sound booth guys, worship team, Royal Ranger boys, etc.  You did a wonderful job!

Had a great men's life group this past Saturday.  Excellent group of men who want to grow in God.  It is my privilege to disciple them.

It made my day to see Frank Wolf in the same uniform he wore when he was in his early 20's.

Thanks to all those who minister in our coffee connection ministry.  We love and appreciate you!

Have a blessed week!
