Buncha Stuff Sunday

Made a weekend trip to Cincinnati with my family. My wife grew up there and we visited some of her favorite childhood spots and the Cincinnati Zoo. We had a great tip and stayed at the Garfield Hotel. You should go there. The rooms were HUGE.
I was shocked at how rough downtown Cincinnati was. Beautiful old buildings that would be million dollar lofts in Atlanta were abandoned and boarded up.
I love Atlanta and would like to be there the rest of my life. We’ll be making the road trip back there tomorrow morning to meet with my brother and his family.
We have two great families that are moving to Atlanta from out of state that will be a part of the launch team of The Courageous Church. I must admit that this makes me nervous and super excited about what God has in store!
We have four families that are contemplating moving from England (yes…that England) to Atlanta. I am praying that everything falls into place for them to make this move.
We had nearly a dozen people join our launch team last week and I am so amped that I want to launch the church next week! We have about 130 days to go!
You can join our movement today @ Courageous.tv
I have a gut feeling that Gustav is going to cause much less damage than expected.
My whole family is talking about politics. Obama’s speech and the selection of Sarah Palin by McCain is a big deal for my family. What do you think of her selection now that the shock has worn off?
I start classes for a new Masters program @ Emory this Tuesday morning and am pretty amped. I want to be sure that The Courageous Church is getting the sharpest, best trained pastor they deserve.
Emory has provided me with a full scholarship for preaching and I feel a healthy sense of pressure to deliver the goods there. I am so thankful to God for this opportunity and have already met some great folk.
It’s never too late to go back to school. I met several classmates last week that were over 50 years old and was so impressed by their passion to pursue the call of God on their lives.
Looking forward to meeting with some really gifted launch team members later this week to discern how we can really utilize what they do so well.
The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is coming to Atlanta this week. If the Lord leads you, please listen to His voice and give me a ticket. I’ll be sure to tell people about Jesus once I get there. :)
