RAIN IT DOWN
I'm working with a team of friends to get the world out to local colleges — Agnes Scott, GaTech, and UGA — about NPOnline after Andy pointed out how PERFECT it is for college students!
Topic @ Stonecreek Church today was "Just Ask" – Connect and Invite.
Who do you know that is just one ASK away from life change?
we talked about parenting
I love it!! I talked to my friend about what really is the purpose of the church…good stuff
Sorry but I was with some friends watching my Dodgers spank the Braves…all the while talking about life.
Hope nothing made you nervous to sweat them off before you started.
My wife talked to me about how I had been particularly self-centred today. I didn't enjoy the conversation, but she did have a point.
We had a guest speaker Sunday – Tony McMullen (freeinchristministries). Tony is an x-con (drug dealer/murderer) and has an amazing testimony on the forgiveness of Christ as well as owning our choices – ie.. don't let other people make your choices for you. Satan never shows you the consequences. Very powerful message. Our youngest is walking a line of rebellion that has me in tears some days – Tony struck a chord in him – and our other youth – that was really good. Brought home the core lie that "God left something out in me, I'll never be_____." ____It was interesting watching my "tough / too cool" teen interact with Tony – he was intimidated. I have not seen him act submissive around a man in long time. His mode today is more of a "bring it!" than anything else. (He grew 6 inches last year and it now taller than us.) My trick – let God work and not try to hammer home the points past the edge of deafness. God has him… I need to trust that.
I blogged my Sunday Notes @ http://i-saw-god-today.blogspot.com/ . Feel free to check it out.
now you should go have someone tattoo over it…
is that Show Hope in the middle?
I have been having conversations about transformation too, lately. Big theme that has emerged is "the part of obedient action we play" in God's transformation process. Be willing does not mean being a passive participant. In fact I think a "passive participant" is an oxymoron!
I had a discussion about the new Derek Webb CD and how awesome and yet somehow has controversy with it.
I had a fantastic Sunday.
My pastor preached on repairing relationships.

Some friends and I discussed it yesterday and then we talked about living in community. My husband and I are looking to move and so is this other couple we're friends with and we're toying with the idea of living together. It's all very exciting.
We heard a great message on the purpose through life's storms. That there is meaning and joy still found in the crap, we just need to see it as God's plan. http://www.harvestoakville.ca
What is that under "Second Chance"? Heart + Asparagus + Clouds + Space ship???
Nice note-taking. Just curious – did you shake anyone's hand after that? And were you careful on the drive home?

ps – I actually talked to our guest evangelist when we took him out to lunch. We talked about what I felt church should be – and Soul City Church came up more than once. Dude, I'm heart-broken in my current church & desperately long to be a part of a church that is about 7-day-a-week ministry. I mentioned to the evangelist – "Nothing happens in our church Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday during the day, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Is it even worth having a building?" It took a second to register – for both of us – and then he said "I don't think so."
This picture deeply inspires me – Love that it is written on your hand – the part of you that is so unique and unlike any other human being on the planet… quite stunning!
