What a day – sitting here at youth camp in MI -getting ready for God to do amazing stuff tonight in service – till then here are my random thoughts..
* I have the best family in the world – my wife is beautiful, smart and the best mom ever – still blown away that she chose me 16 years ago- love being on the journey with her!
* This Sunday we are talking about Community – I think true community is the ability to live life with people and not feel like you have to pretend anymore -I thank God he loved me enough to help me “get it”.
* God is doing something awesome right now at THRIVE – people are hanging out – talking and actually becoming friends – We grow through relationships and that my friend is the way it should be.
* Our first partnership class is this Sunday – last report I heard over 30 people signed up. That blows me away!
* Our youth ministry also starts this Sunday night – after hanging out at this youth camp all week – I’m saying “bring it ON” God – swimming, barbeque and rock band – what more is there in life for a teen?
* I have to paint my garage floor – this job is hanging over my head each day – still need to call Larry and see if he’s all in!
* There are two things I really look forward to each week – our Guys group on Friday morning and Thursday night basketball – both bring out the Gladiator in me -Russell Crowe eat your heart out!
* Cole Hunter rocks my world – this little boy has crawled into my heart and will not get out. Can’t wait to have some Father/Son time when I get home! Maybe we will go fishing – oh wait he’s only 4 weeks old…
* Church Planting is a TON of details – I am thankful God has brought some people around THRIVE that actually enjoy them…Caleen, Coty, Nichole and Sara…you guys are a BIG DEAL -don’t forget it.
* Saw Terminator Salvation and have been reading Eph. 6 about the Armor of GOD – we can never forget, we are in a battle – the upside is – if we hold on WE WIN!
Love you guys – Go THRIVE – that’s the plan
Tom
