What a start to DNow Weekend

Well it’s late, I’m tired…but wow what an electric beginning to DNow weekend.  Explaining my day today would fill a weeks worth of blogs.  But let me give you a hint…two leaders got sick less than 24 Hours away from the start!  No good there.  And I got to only fill one of those positions [...]

Lessons learned from my Students – Part 4

Kind of an odd night.  But it’s amazing how things go sometimes.
First off, the worship tonight might have been the best tonight that’s it’s been.  The band leading us is a new gathering of people that just enjoying worship.  It was good.  John got a little stuck in traffic, but still made it in time [...]
