mind dump – 6/15/2009

- Today is Matt Keller’s birthday! He loves his birthday. Make sure that you send him an e-mail at pastormatt@nextlevelchurch.com to wish him a good one. If you don’t do it today, no worries, he celebrates the whole month of June!

- Yesterday we showed a video for service with Craig Groeschel. It was awesome. Video church definitely works.

- Yesterday, we had a celebration for all of the people serving the community through nlc’s connection groups and other events. It was awesome to see so many people who are giving their lives to serve the community!

- I take Fridays off. I’ve thought of taking Mondays off, but I don’t think that it would work. I acquire a to-do list on Sundays that I need to work on right away…that would make my day off ineffective.

- Youth camp starts this week. Will Hutcherson is doing a great job as NLC’s youth pastor…he’s one of the most gifted youth pastors that I’ve ever met.

- I’m glad that I’m not going to youth camp. The one time that I did go was for a short stint where I was the youth pastor at NLC and I led the charge to pull pranks on different students. The manager at the place where we were staying told me that because of that, we were one step away from getting kicked out. I don’t do a very good job at being as strict as I need to be.

- Half of our staff is out of the office this week. I’m anticipating a lot of work getting done.

- Scott Drummond and I weighed in last week at the same weight: 205.1 lbs exactly. I think that he’s got me this week if we weigh in. He’s an animal!

- It is stupid hot outside and the humidity is brutal. I went running at 6 a.m. this morning and I sweat a lot.

- My battery on my car is almost dead. I need to run and get a new one.

- I feel like my marriage is as strong as it’s ever been. I’m having so much fun with Annie. She’s a great wifey.

- Karston is huge. It’s hard to believe that we’re going to have 2 kids in October. Can’t imagine what that will be like.
