- Got to hang out Friday night with some great friends from the ATL – Chad & Chanda Childress.
- Volleyball occupies a lot of our Saturday time now. Kayleigh won all 3 of her games this past weekend.
- Evidently bringing 15 people into Macaroni Grill (half of them kids) without a reservation is a big deal.
- Whatever happened to quality, no-complaining because I am going to get a good tip, service?
- I still don’t know why they can divide 4 families into 4 checks who are sitting at 4 different tables but can’t divide 4 families into 4 checks who happen to be sitting at the same table.
- Can you tell we had some service issues on Saturday?
- Watched a weird movie on Saturday night.
- Sunday was another good day at GP.
- Band had a great set.
- We had about 20 people at Starting Point. God has brought us some good families in recent days.
- I taught the second half of the financial margin message.
- Highlights from the message:
“Most of us live life gambling in the area of finances – we gamble nothing is going to happen that will push us over the edge financially”
“Finances is always a heart issue and never an income issue”
“Managing God’s money is a priority issue”
“If we are not prioritizing God in our finances, we are serving money”
“What you value is where you spend your money”
“Invest in temporary stuff and you will get temporary results”
“Nice mini-van” (you had to be there)
“The only investment that has a guaranteed return is an eternal one”
“Managing God’s money is a trust issue”
“God will provide our necessities if we trust him with our money”
“God is interested in your money because it reveals your heart”
- We have had several dozen people sign up for our first Dave Ramsey seminar.
- Several people at Grace Point are taking steps to trust God with their finances.
- GREAT NFC championship game last night. I felt sorry for Favre. He is a real warrior.
- Hard to believe Favre is one of the few players in the NFL who is older than me.
- Should be a good Super Bowl.
Staff meetings today.
Hanging with a great group of church planters the next couple of days.
