Only at RPC is all I can say. It was an overwhelming Sunday we had a baptism with Rich Buttorf,I am very fond of Rich. His first week at RPC he signed up to grill for a fundraiser. Did you catch that? You noticed I did not say that we had to ask him to serve or that he sat thru the new members class that we used to have. From week one he was ready to serve. We could really use more of that. He really does have a servants heart. We saw 3 people make commitments to Christ today (that could have been from the burning smell coming thru the ac vents ) and I had the opportunity to pray with one of them today. Out of everything I do you can have it all if I get to pray with and talk to someone about eternity spent with a heavenly father who loves them uncoditionally. GOOD STUFF. Timm laid the cards on the table today, he really presented a humble picture of what churches should look like, ALL of us really are pilgrims on this journey called life. Probably one of my favorite sermons. Who was that girl on stage today, boy could she bring it. I hope to hear more from her. Music definately had a different feel today but in a good way. We had 6 people go thru NEXT Sunday with some of them making commitments to RPC. I say that to say this.
BETTER THINGS ARE YET TO COME AT RPC STAY TUNED
i have heard about referees being biased but this takes it to a whole new level.” Check out this video from the LSU vs SC football game .What do you think?
I must make a confession I do not trust the news anymore. The longer I live the more I distrust them. Where I am going with this before I start to get hate mail is every day all I hear and read is that the sky is falling the world economy is getting ready to crash . My mom works at Home Depot and she told me Tuesday that they have sold out of chest freezers and are moving a unusual amount of generators. (I guess people are headed for the hills I do not understand the logic)Is my head buried in the sand am I missing something? All I am saying is some of the scarcity that is present today is due to the newscast sensationalizing the stories. I am not saying we are not experiencing difficult times but not to the extent they would have us believe.I pray that people start using discernment when listening to the talking heads on tv reading from a teleprompter reading someone elses words.
I am opening myself up readers.What do you think?
I am not going break down Catalyst due to everyone on my blogroll already posting on it but I will give you a one word summary wowamazingoverloadchallengingcrazy. I could give you more words but then I would have broke my promise to you of using one word to describe Catalyst thus losing credibility with the one reader I have not run off yet. I will tell you if you only get to do 1 thing next year and you are interested in leadership plan on going to Catalyst next year it is well worth the money. Some of the greatest minds in business and church spend 2 days sharing with you what it takes to get where they are. I whole heartedly think you have to invest and continually grow to go to the next level and after 2 days at Catalyst it is further cemented in my mind that more people from RPC need to go to get a glimpse of what is possible when we all have the same goals and we invest our time on ways to do things better. So my question to you is where are you investing your time and what are you doing to grow?
Quick hits from the week
1 Got to set in on some leadership meetings Tuesday night for RPC. All I can say is wow. It is really cool to see so many people committed to the success of RPC. I always walk away from those meetings wondering how I got to be a part of what is going on at RPC.
2 Thursday night I completed my last parenting class for adoption. The women leading the class are not married and do not have kids so I was skeptical going into the class but was reminded by my wife to remain open minded. I have to admit by the last week of the class I had to wrap duct tape around my head to keep it from exploding from the absurd things they were recommending. All I can say it will be interesting to see if there philosophy changes when they have kids. END OF RANT
3 Back to work Friday and what a dominant day it was. Busiest day in my three months there, computer problems,equipment problems, staff getting physical with each other. Normally a day like this would have me heading to the kegarator but my staff really stepped up today. I did not get all the problems resolved but I did mange to put some fires out. I often wonder how I walked into such an ideal situation.
4 All I can say is I am losing sleep at night because I am so ready for Catalyst. I leave Wednesday morning with about 17 other people. If you are thinking of going you need to get your tickets. Really what are you waiting on.
5 FSU vs Miami Not wahat it used to be but still should be a good game GO NOLES
