+ I am so over snow, especially weekend snow.

+ Leaving the house this morning at 7.00 with a feel-like temperature of 0F and icy roads, I figured that we might not break any attendance records at church. I was right. I’m brilliant.

+ Missing  several key players on the set-up team in Ronkonkoma, but the guys really worked to get everything up and ready. Building wasn’t near as warm as we would have wanted, but it could have been worse – you could have been in Mastic.

+ Speaking about Mastic, I spent most of the morning there today. It was cold. Why on earth would you let the temperature fall to 40 overnight in a building that size. There’s not a bat’s chance of getting it back up to where it needs to be. We’ll have to get that sorted out this week.

+ The later start over there gave us a better turnout than expected. Theater 7 was comfortably full. Good job we’ve got all the planning done to run a live feed into Theater 6. That will add 200 seats.

+ Ben and the youth band from Lamb’s Chapel rocked. I mean rocked. Great band. Great worship. Did I mention they were good?

+ John Bernor taught at both campuses today. He did a great job. I never heard him preach before, as we brought him on board for his  skills in working with teens. Guess we strengthened our teaching team too.

+ I liked the shot of me dressed up like the Pope that he used during his message. Now I’m thinking seriously about robes!

+ Visited Bob on the way home. He’s in a rehab center now (the kind where you get physical therapy, not where you go to dry out). Still a long way to go, but he has come a long, long way. Please keep praying.

+ The cold and the snow have persuaded me to watch football in the den instead of at the gym. Maybe not the best decision, but I can live with it.

+ Looking forward to the new teaching series that starts in two weeks – The Big 10.

+ We have great ministry teams at both campuses. They work like stink to get ready for people to hear about Jesus. What a blessing to have so many people who have worked out what it’s all about.

+ Enjoying the daily Bible readings from www.youversion.com  Maybe it’sjust  the novelty of reading the Bible on my phone. Perhaps soon I’ll be able to get them on the GPS I got for Christmas.

+ No, I wasn’t dressing for the cold this morning. I am reliably informed that flannel shirts are fashionable. Get with it people.

+ Got a couple of CDs for Christmas, need to put them on my iPod – time to go!
