Tuesday Night Reflections

Battle of the Sexes

• Spirit tonight was great...
• Girls came dressed in 80's garb and the guys all had orange shirts on...
• Girls are still in lead...
• All the guys bought all the girls Crushes tonight...
• Guys took a page from the girls book and gave me a custom towel to use. It was a ShamWow!!

Encounter

• We had a great night...
• Worship was really good as always. We really engaged during the last song.
• Lori shared a dream that God has given her. To some that may sound hokey and super spiritual, but I truly believe that God still gives people dreams.
• Go to her blog. She posted it. lorihight.blogspot.com
• Message went over well. Part 4 of my Warrior series. Tonight was the topic "Warriors Come Out to Play." God has called us to run toward the enemy. But sometimes we're afraid even thought the King of the Universe is on our side. We talked about how God has called us to awaken a generation.
• God lead a few of us to stay and pray for a while. You could feel His presence strong.

Well, that's it for tonight. Thanks for reading...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections...

Here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• We're having so much fun...
• The guys are totally getting into the decorating thing. They've turned their side of the building into a man cave.
• Asked one of them what their inspiration...His answer...Chuck Norris!!!
• Girls have something up their sleeves. They're getting sneaky.
• Got a Starbucks Mocha Frap tonight from the girls and a towel for me to wipe my face with during worship and preaching. They got major points for that.
• Girls are ahead, but the boys are coming back.

OK captains, your task this week is to get as many pics of multiple team members with Pastor and Kim. The catch, they can't know that you're taking them. You or your team mates have to be looking at the camera.

Encounter

• Another awesome night.
• Worship was fantastic
• Great crowd. Most of them engaged in worship and seeking His face.
• Preached part 3 of "The Warrior" series.
• Tonight I spoke on "Prepare for Battle". Two ways to prepare....(1) submit to authority. There are 3 types of authority that are spoken about in the Bible that we need to follow; government, parental, and spiritual (2) We need to face and overcome fear. Fear is something that distracts.
• Seemed to go over very well.

That's it for tonight...Thanks for reading...Later!!!

Friday Night Randomness...

Got some time so I decide to post a randomness blog...Here we go..

• I haven't done one of these in a while!!
• Lori informed me that she wants to start eating healthy and organic...DEAR GOD NO!!!
• Gayle...you're being a bad influence...(j/k)
• New season of Friday Night Lights started tonight. Yippee!!!
• I'm getting an IPhone. I've worn Lori down. I'm another step closer.
• I'm going to be out of high school 15 years this year...
• OK, that was very random...even for me...oh well...
• I'm craving Lucky Charms right now...
• I about dislocated my shoulder playing "Clone Wars Light Saber Duels" with my nephew. I still beat him though.
• Couldn't move my right arm the next day.
• I can't think of anything else...

I'm out...Later!!!

Friday Night Lights

Lori and I just finished watching the season 3 premiere of Friday Night Lights. I have to admit that this is my second favorite TV show next to Smallville. I'm so glad that it's back. Just thought I'd share.

Have a great weekend...That's it!!!

Later...

Tuesday Night Reflections!!!

Ready for bed so here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• Week #2 of Battle of the Sexes was great. Students are really getting into it and I have to give mad props to the team captains for pumping everyone up.
• Matt and Amanda are great hosts. Their recap promo was hilarious.
• So far guys are ahead in point totals, but I'll get an update tomorrow from Amanda and see where we're at.
• We had an awesome crowd tonight. I truly believe that by the time we're done with this, we're going to have the building packed out.

Encounter

• God amazes me more and more...
• He showed up in a way that none of us have ever felt in one of our encounters tonight...
• Worship was off the chain. Tyler and Travis' dual solo was fantastic.
• Students were fired up from the get go.
• Ellie really spoke an awesome word during worship. So proud of my daughter!!!
• Continued with my series on "The Warrior". Spoke on "My Adversary". This was a message about Satan and how we are at war with him. He tries to distract us with little insignificant battles so that our minds are not focused on the big battle.
• Great time in the altar's. A spirit of intercession hit and we fought through prayer and praise for people.
• Had a visitor tell us that she loved the power she felt tonight.

OK, that's it for tonight...

FYI team captains, your challenge for this week is to get pictures with as many team mates as you can. Go to their houses, at school, at church. Wherever you can. You will get 50 points per picture. (example...Kevin w/Rico or Lindsey w/Feli). You can't have any duplicates.

Wednesday Night Reflections of Tuesday Night

Lori and I have both been sick the past few days. Well, I've been sick since December. So last night I got home and by the time I had settled down from the night I was wore out and needed to hit the sack. So with that, here's an Wednesday night reflection of Tuesday night...

• Started off Battle of the Sexes...
• The team captains are competitive and I like it. They were a tad discouraged with people's attitudes regarding it, but they got over it quick.
• Lori stayed home sick so Ellie filled in on the drums. She did a great job.
• Matt Delgadillo had to lead worship. I barely had any voice to preach.
• Love Matt. My bud!!!
• Started my new series entitled "The Warrior". Talked about how Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace but to bring a sword. My favorite line was..."He's started a revolution over 2000 years ago that is still going on." The title of the message was "The Cause and the Cost". In 1 Sam 17:29 "Is there not a cause?" Once we realize what the cause is we need to count the cost. The biggest cost is our lives.
• Can't wait to for next week. I'm speaking on "The Adversary". Who is our enemy?

Well, time to go get knocked out by about 3 shots of NyQuil. Later...
