this weekend was a bit busy. I spoke in all 3 of our Junior High services…which went really great. Bill Holbrook did wonderful leading volunteers so I wouldn’t have to worry about any of that.
my talk was on boundaries in dating. great subject for jh kids.
then sunday night came. this time bill spoke in velocity, which was a nice break for me. we wrapped up our “goin’ all the way” series with a talk on loneliness. bill hit it out of the park.
our next series is called ‘red letters.’ watch the promo video here.
another key event this weekend: i was given a free iPhone. a volunteer decided to bless me with his 4G 1st generation iPhone. i am now an AT&T customer.
i’m still reading crazy love and tribes
what i’m excited about: like having an iPhone isn’t enough?!? i’m excited to solidify our summer trips, as well as plan for our EMERGE weekend experience.

I saw this post on ysmarko’s blog…just had to share it.
NOTE: “C of E” is referring to the “Church of England.” Marko makes the case that this could very well be applied everywhere…I concur.

I was at the gym…getting ready to leave (which consists of putting on clean clothes and leaving the smelly locker room as fast as possible), and I overhear this dude say, “yup, sure didn’t want to lose this championship ring…”
ok, so that caught my attention. i’m a pretty outgoing guy, so I pipe up and ask, “sir, what championship are you speaking of?”
“the NBA.“
[heart starts pumping faster and faster - it's true...I get star struck pretty easy]
“wow” I say. “that’s cool”
we proceed to chat and I find out that I am talking to Spencer Haywood, NBA legend. He got the ring playing for the Lakers. His number (24) was retired just 2 years ago by the Seattle Sonics. He has a gold medal from the 1968 Olympics.
and I was talking to him at the gym.
wow.
[pictured below: Spencer Haywood dunking. for the record...his shorts were longer yesterday when I met him]
