It’s been an interesting day.  Here’s a little of the flow:

• Angie and I are in Texas for a few days.  We went over to Grapevine Mills Mall today.  As we were leaving a store I asked the cashier where the Hallmark store was in the mall.  She told us to go down about half a mile to the left (large mall…).  Angie clarified, “so we go out the doors and to the left” – to which she replied “yes, go left and you’ll see it down a ways.“  When the proceeded to walk the entire mall to find the Hallmarks store only 4 stores away from the original store.  If we had gone right – 4 stores down… but she sent us left.  Angie would not let me go back in and “have prayer” with the cashier – I really felt strongly that I had a message for her…
• We got to see Bill and Kelli Jones new baby girl, London.  Bill designed our new website, and our blogs.  (Pastors – if you’re looking for a web designer, graphic designer – he’s awesome!).
• This afternoon I was getting my boots shined and had a great conversation with “Dr. Ervin.”  He’s been a Christ-follower for 67 years.  He made a statement that stuck with me.  He said, “in this economy people will run to church.  But when they run to church, they won’t bring their checkbooks because there’s nothing in them.  But, when the economy turns around many will run from church back to their checkbooks – I’ve been watching it for 67 years and it’s just what most church people do.“  While that may be true for some, I’m so grateful for the people of C3 who keep pursuing Christ!  I guess it’s the difference in religious people and Christ-followers.
• I’m pumped about C3 Church’s feeding families initiative we’re about to launch again.  We’re going to be adopting 100 needy families again and providing food and basic necessities for 4 weeks for them.  I love being a part of a movement that truly makes a difference in lives.  We have such a huge opportunity right now to truly love God and love others – I don’t know of a time when people are craving someone actually caring about them.  At C3, we’re seizing the moment and lives are being changed big time!
• Looking forward to the C3 Conference @ Fellowship Church this week.  God used this conference in my life in a huge way a few years ago.  Can’t wait to see what he does this year through it.
• I’m really missing Kayleigh, Ashley, Nate and Ethan!!!
