Monday Mind Dump

Haven't done a mind dump in a while... maybe this will help get everything out so I can have a good night sleep tonight :-)
  • On Sunday afternoon's show of Ten Times Two I screwed up the last lighting cue! ARRGGH!!! Instead of going black the entire stage lit up! I felt like an idiot. Just one weekend left.
  • Monday night Man in the Mirror study is a lot of fun for me... also a lot of work but I really enjoy that. I really love getting together with the guys and figurering out together how does God want us to live out our lives as husbands, fathers and men in our culture today.
  • I'm behind on my reading for school this week... considering I got a big ZERO on last week's reading quiz even with doing the reading I better get at it!
  • Last Sunday's worship service really hit the spot! Andrew and the team did a fantastic song set and the guest speaker really gave a message that I needed to hear.
  • I want to start painting Warhammer figs soon. I haven't painted in over a year. I want to get back into making my Lord of the Rings armies... Isengard and Rohan. I also want to get back at my goblin army I started last year. I'd love to find some time to play... would be great if I could find some guys in Elmira that play... would save a 40 minute trip into Kitchener...
  • My kids crack me up! Every night at the dinner table the entertainment is non-stop :-) I have no clue where they get that from...
  • This Sunday I'm speaking in one of the Adult Bible Fellowship classes... Now that my Monday message is finished I can start working on that one... oh... after I finish my homework I mean...
  • We played some street hockey with the neighbours on the weekend. That was a lot of fun. I think the adults enjoyed it more then the kids.
  • I would really like to get my hands on Guitar Hero for the Wii. I feel the need to rock and roll all night long! :-)
  • Starting playing Half-Life 2. I enjoyed the first one... wasn't a major fan... so far seems pretty similar to the original (better graphics of course) but not all that much different...

Practical Atheist

Image
Over the past few weeks our church has been doing a preaching series called Practical Atheist. This is based on the book The Christian Atheist by Pastor Craig Groeschel. I've been blown away by how God has worked in the hearts of so many people over the past few weeks. Mind you, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Pastor Craig's ministry has had such a huge influence on my personal walk with Jesus so just is just a continuation of that blessing. This week we're probably going to hit the hardest topic for me to preach on, I Believe in God but I Pursue Happiness at All Costs. I'm going to be using Jesus' parable of the sower and look at how our pursuit of happiness causes us to miss out on truly how God wants from our lives. This topic hits me right between the eyes as I'm being open and honest with God about what allow to be entertainment or how I go about trying to be happy. Do I allow myself to be entertained by sin? Do I pursue the world's view ...

Wellness Journey Update

Image
  In early April 2020, I decided to take better care of my health. Actually, the decision was made on January 1st, 2020. It just took me time and a month of lockdown in my basement to get me to do something about it. My focus was to care for myself physically, emotionally/mentally, and spiritually. In the first year of the journey, I saw some significant changes. I dropped nearly 60 pounds of weight, reduced back pain, and began sleeping through the night for the first time in my adult life! I also did some great work with my Christian therapist to strengthen my mental health. I began deepening my walk with Christ through strengthening devotions and intentional mentoring. As I experienced these blessings, my hope was to pass along these blessings to others. I became certified as a DDPY Fitness Level 1 Instructor and a FastTrack coach.  While there were blessings, there were also challenges. Particularly in the area of whether my involvement in particular exercise programs was ...

Back from Catalyst!

Image
WOW!!!! That's all can say right now! Yesterday experience at Catalyst was just incredible! And I gotta admit... God really wrecked me! I've never felt closer to God than I did on my knees yesterday, crying in his presence! I'm still processing all that God had to say to me through this event. I'll be blogging about it next week as it all becomes clearer. I'm so grateful to everyone involved in putting on Catalyst One Day! Thanks to Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel for just bringing it!! I was so encouraged and minister to. Picked up Craig's new book, The Christian Atheist. Started reading it this afternoon! Was awesome to meet him and others from the LifeChurch.tv team. Their ministry has been such a wonderful blessing to me in my personal walk with God. When people ask who pastors me, Craig Groeschel is on the top of that list. Praising God today for all that he has in store for me and my journey with Him! (Picture of Danielle and I with Craig...
