• Great night Friday night for Allatoona Football, the team finished their first season by beating the Varsity Team from Murray County!  These guys came so far this year - I was so proud of them!!
• Tough day in the College Football World on Saturday with GT and WVU taking big losses.....Not a lot of smiles around the Linch house!!
• Incredible week 3 of Still Standing!!  Packed house at both hours in our Compass Room and at True North at 11am!!  I talked about "Truth" and God's word.  We gave out bibles to anyone that did not already own one.....WOW....we ran out!  Hard to believe in the world today there are still people who have never owned a bible!  Met a couple that just moved here from Cuba and it was their first time ever in church and they had never had a bible of their own!!  Pretty awesome!
• We did a video of Rev. Jett, the 94 year old pastor I interviewed, mixed in with "Word of God Speak".....it was strong!  Visit the NorthStar site to catch up on the video interviews....they are pretty awesome!
• Started talking about our 5pm service beginning in January - great feedback so far!!  We are praying for 500 people to make the move from Sunday AM!  I can't wait!!!
• Baptized after our last service - nothing like closing the morning seeing people take their faith public!!  One of our staff, was able to baptize his mom & dad......pretty special!!!
• Enjoyed being outside yesterday afternoon with some good friends....playing a little cornhole & football and going back inside to keep up with the Falcons who spanked the Saints!!!  How bout the Falcons!!!
• We had Newcomers last night and had a full crowd!!  Hearing the stories of how people got to us never gets old!!  Long night but a fun one!!!
