Random Bullet Points
- Cool Stat - we have 115 college students serving in the city of Chicago, IL this week for their spring break. That is how many total people we had this time last year. Crazy! MTV sent a crew with them and will be showing the footage and stories in the coming months. OK THAT IS NOT TRUE, but it almost was. MTV did contact us and talk about that as a possibility. Why us? Because we are cool...NO someone that is involved has a good friend that works with MTV.
- A lot of people think we are JUST a college church...we love college students, but NOT JUST a college church. We are right at 60% college students and 40% adults/children. We want more of both.
- A hate the idea of a green room for a pastor. They're NOT even green...and I don't think Jesus had one. Some of you are thinking, "but Jesus didn't have a car either." give me a break...what are kidding me with that arguement. If that is your thing fine...just not mine.
- Clemson's b-ball team finished 3rd in the ACC. Their highest ranking in 20 years. Good Stuff...going the right way.
- Easter is 2 weeks away. We are doing 1 Gathering at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in downtown @ 7pm that night. If you can come check it out we would love to have you.
- We are talking on MONEY this coming Sunday. My good friend and great blogger Chris Kakaras is helping me out with it a great deal. The man understand 2 things well: the bible and money. Go read his blog, it's strong.
- Meeting my friend and fellow church planter, Jay Harwick, tomorrow for coffee. A non-agenda hang-out. I like those and honestly do not have very many non-agenda hang-outs anymore. We all need more of those in our life.
- Jerusalem journal entries are coming soon...I know I keep promising, but for real they are...along with some PICTURES. We finally have all 900 of them in the computer.
- I do NOT have my MACBOOK. It is in Tennessee some where being repaired. I hate NOT having it.
- We have a team of 7 going to Mali in 2 months.
- We have a team of 30 going to Mexico in July. (Renie and I will be going back for our 3rd year...we love it)
- Both Mali and Mexico are long term partnerships we have set up.
- We add a new partnership every 2 years. That is why we added Mali this year.
- My friend Sean Brereton has a great blog and is in Chicago, IL with our team of college students and is blogging daily updates. Go check it out.
Have a great day and we will blog soon!
