After a busy, busy week, here are a few highlights from the weekend…
- The Egg Drop event is getting much bigger than we anticipated. I will try and post a blog with more details later.
- After a busy week, I enjoyed getting out on Friday and playing a little golf.
- Watched most of Old Dogs on Friday night (slept through a little). Actually a funny movie in parts.
- Finished the winter of season of girls volleyball on Saturday. A few weeks off before we start again.
- I actually attended the Mountain West championship game on Saturday evening. UNLV was in it but lost.
- March Madness is less maddening when your team is watching instead of playing.
- Big event season has me sleeping less and thinking more.
- Not sure “missing” the hour of sleep mattered.
- The winds in Vegas have been crazy the last few days. We were not even able to put out any road signs today.
- Time change and 50 mph winds affected our attendance some today.
- Some Sundays you are just not at your A-game. Today was one of those days.
- We have been interviewing different GP families for our Modern Family series. The interviews have been a great addition to the series.
- Ty Neal and I did a tag-team teach today. I thought it worked well.
- Our new Servolution shirts are in for our 2010 serving opps. They look great.
- Really liking The Desert Song that our band has led the last 2 weeks.
- We taught on the oneness principle today and how to guard the oneness element once kids enter the picture.
- Highlights from the message:
As a couple, you are either growing closer together or further apart. There is no middle ground.
In dating opposites attract. In marriage, opposites attack.
“Satan wants to use what God intended for completion to create division”
“Are you completing each other or competing against each other?”
“Satan will use good things to create division”
“Unity celebrates differences. Uniformity destroys uniqueness”
“The two extremes that destroy oneness and harm children: the child-centered marriage & the couples only marriage”
“Our goal as parents is to transfer the dependence of our kids from us to God”
“The church is to sing “back-up” in the raising of your children”
“Marriages tend to go through three stages: The Ideal (everything is perfect), The Ordeal (marriage is tough), and The New Deal (when an out seems to be the only answer). Oneness guards against the last stage”
- Egg Drop hits warp speed this week.
- Easter Weekend at GP this year: Saturday – 5:00 pm, Sunday – 9:30 am & 11:15 am
- It is sad that I am watching the NIT selection show to see if UNC even makes it – national champions to a bubble team in the NIT!
Hopefully I can take some time this week to tell you what is happening with Egg Drop.
