• 15 people have signed up for Life Connections with our biggest sign up week still to come
• Growth Groups Launch Sunday
• New Series on Family, Relationships and Finances begins in 2 weeks

• Over 150 people responded Sunday to start The Chase...I was simply blown away at the anxiousness of people to come forward

Sunday Night Reflections

Wow...where to begin after a day like today. Its been a crazy few months, but here are my thoughts...

• Glad to see that The Coast has elected a new Lead Pastor. I am excited to see what the future holds for Kevin and Kristal and the people of Gulf Coast.
• Never gets old seeing people making a decision to follow Christ with their life.
• I really enjoyed speaking on "Embracing Uncertainty." Quote of the day..."defining moments usually lead down the path of Uncertainty."
• Today totally applies to my life!
• Loved hanging out with our Sunday Night Crowd. Never a dull moment!
• Actually got a great nap today! Sunday naps are the best, but now the jungle looms to be cut later this week.
• Loving "The Shack." Ill let you know if its a must read. I usually hate fictional books, but not this one.
• Still trying to sell 2 houses! Any takers?
• Getting stoked about College Football season.
• Tiger Woods won again...Is he really human?
• Five days into a diet and hating it.

So many other thoughts I will share about uncertainty in the near future, but that's all for now. What about your weekend?
