• Today was electric......crazy crowded and you could feel the energy when you walked in the room!!
• MM rode in with me early today and we made her Sunday AM Starbucks stop.....she loves that stuff - I am a diet coke man so it takes true love to get me through there but if she loves it - oh well!!! I am a push-over!!
  

• I pray that we at NStar - always deliver!!!
  
• Our crowds have shifted - there are now more at 11am in the Compass Centre & in True North than at 9:30am in either venue.....total flip-flop from October/November....Go figure!
• Today I lost my voice and started hacking at 11am - it was brutal!! Thank God for Andy Mac at front of house who hit "mute" to save our people from being totally grossed out!!
• My wife Annie today hit both venues...it was her first time in the video venue of True North - and she loved it - cool to get her feedback!
• We dedicated triplets at our 11am service - it was pretty cool and the parents were pretty laid back....maybe they are still in shock!! Their three little one's were precious!
• My son left NStar with 12 brochures for Thrive "Disciple Now" weekend and we invited our entire baseball team today.....Man, I am praying big time that those guys fill up a house and have their lives changed forever (feb. 8-10)!! Some of my greatest experiences with God happened when I was growing up at DNow!! Pray for my Titans if you think about it!!
• We got to practice outside today from 2-4pm - it was so relaxing to be on the diamond after a crazy morning!
• Tonight was "Thrive Overdrive" for students at NStar - Casey loved it and he & a buddy from a our team had a blast!!! (We went to dinner at a great Italian place "Rosario's")
  
• BTW.....my kids love NStar and can't wait to go every Sunday!! Thanks to everybody who makes their Sunday's so awesome - you will never know what that means to me!
• Just read J.R.'s blog and they had 225 at Freedom this AM!! Awesome!!
• Tomorrow Roach and I will wrap up writing "How may I serve you?" for our last week of Takeout! We always have a blast working through the topics each week - I could not do it without him - he is the man and the greatest mind I know of taking God's word and making it easy to get & remember! I get the credit from people because I am on stage - but Roach is the man behind the scenes helping me!! Thanks bro - we have been best friends since 2nd grade - it is fun to do life with one of your best friend's in the world!!
• Speaking Tuesday to a pretty exciting group - can't wait to fill you in tomorrow!!
• That's all for now!!
