Sunday night, tired and RIP ROARIN' READY TO GO!

HA! Good title huh? I'm VERY tired right now so this could get REAL random. I'm already to go this week. Can't wait to get started.

Sunday mornings I get up at 4:30 AM so I can get my devotions in, prep my sermon one more time and then get to the office to pick up our trailer. I didn't use to do devotions on Sunday. Don't know why. Guess I felt church was my devotions. MAN, has it helped me to get up early and do them. Just starts off Sunday with a Word TO me before I go deliver the Word.

I picked up Adam at 6:15 and he said "I love Sundays!" I do too. They are extremely hard but MAN do I love what we do. I know it's early but being portable hasn't bothered me yet. It's definitely hard work but I love our theater. I love the feel in there. I can't wait to continue and add stuff to our set up.

We had one new family today in church. Other than that we were way down. My family was all home sick, another family with 5 kids was all home sick. I am getting impatient with seeing people come. Shouldn't be. We have over 60 giving and serving in Element Church which is AWESOME!

Our volunteers are off the hook! (Really good if you don't know what that means) We have our group that shows up at 7 AM each Sunday to do our set up. We have awesome greeters, e:kidz volunteers, band. The band was great today. Adam played the piano for the first time ever in front of people. They played "Can Anybody Hear Her" by Casting Crowns in the middle of my sermon as an illustration.

Nick (dude in our church) made me an absolutely KICKIN' podium. He has his own iron/art business. He's a biker not sure he'd want me to call it art. It is sweet! Gotta be the coolest podium ever. Has our element cross on it. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

WE UNVEILED OUR VIDEOS TODAY! We finally were able to show our video we produced. (first two episodes) You can watch them online if you go to www.elementweb.net Adam, Keenan, and Curtis did incredible jobs with this thing.

Keenan stepped up and ran sound and lights today. Ben ran the computer. I felt our transitions were light years ahead of where we've been. Videos, lights, sound just flowed really well.

Ok, enough randomness for one night. I'll post a weekend wrapup tomorrow when I get the stats from Terri. Oh yeah, she had donuts and coffee there for us at 7 AM this morning. WAY TO GO TERRI!
