Sunday Mind Dump

It was really nice to be back in the saddle teaching again. I have only taught about half of the summer messages and it really was nice to be back at it again. Will be glad when summer is over and we get back to having all our people back most Sundays! So, let's dump.

• Talked about risk and failure today. The Bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear. We need to be taking smart risks for the Kingdom.
  
• Some of the risks we are taking are: Doing a major advertising push and spending money we don't have to reach people. We are going to reach out to hurting people. That means more work for all of us. The payoff is we get to see Christ continue changing lives.
• In terms of advertising we are going to do secular radio ads, direct mailers, and billboards.
• We are also hosting a pig roast with live music.
  
• Doing a Sunday Brunch on Labor day weekend. That is going to be sweet!
• I am really excited about the kids/family worship experience next weekend. It's going to be cool.
• The band is kicking it lately!
• Missing everyone not here this week: The Stones, John and Shelly, and Jeanie. See you all soon!
• Gotta get ready for the Tampa Bay football game tonight.
• That reminds me, fantasy football draft next weekend! Bet there!

I am ready to kick back and relax with a cold one! You know I am talking about a diet Dr. Pepper. Shame on you for thinking otherwise!
