Sunday Night Mind Dump

First off, I am freaking tired. All this Christmas stuff, all the food, all the presents, makes a guy need a good nap! Had a nice service today. The message was really good and the worship went over really well. We went unplugged today with just a guitar a bass and two voices. It really helped to make Christmas songs more worshipful. I just don't like trying to rock out traditional music. For most people, those songs are too comfy and rocking them out only leaves people wishing they'd have heard them another way.

• Signed the lease on the building yesterday. That is exciting and scary at the same time. We need to raise the funds to pay for a bunch of stuff so we are doing this in faith. We'll have an updated list and progress report in a week or so about where we are in the process.
• Shelly was off the hook with the Christmas food and decorations today. The YMCA looked great and we would be lost without that girl!
• Getting ready to have Christmas with the kids. Since we are going away this week we are opening presents tonight!
• Off to Tennessee tomorrow. Looking forward to being away for a much needed mental break. Not looking forward to the eight hour drive.

Church planting is a great ride. I can't wait to see what God is going to to over the next year. I'll be talking about that in the first message of the new year. Next weekend is the kids program that got postponed last weekend because of the snow.
