Monday after Sunday Random Thoughts
Jun 16
Sunday was an awesome day! Here is why:
- Yesterday was week 2 of our One Prayer series and we had Perry Noble via our video feed speaking to us. The response was great. Perry spoke from Luke 7 and challenged us to 1. Walk with Jesus. 2. Listen to Jesus. and 3. We have to believe Jesus!
Here are the statements that stood strong to me:
- Jesus isn’t scared of who you were because He understands who He wants you to be! What step of Faith is He calling you to take? God will always call us to unfair fights!! A church that is dangerous believes in the impossible.
- Our lowest attendance ever at CATGrove was last year June 17 on Father’s Day! I thought we would have a very low attendance yesterday and although it was down, it was up significantly from last year. I am convinced that on Mother’s Day all the women want all the men to go to church with them. On Father’s Day all the men beg to be free from going to church! Interesting!
- Thank you to all the Grovers for your faithful and consistent giving. I would have thought with our attendance down that our offering would be down as well, but we actually had a good offering, especially with the low attendance. We have had a couple of low offerings but overall our giving has been good considering that we have stopped receiving most of our support. Stay faithful!
- I need to commend Ric for his song selection. He really puts a lot of thought and prayer into choosing the songs that will go best with our scripture and theme. He is doing an awesome job! Yesterday’s songs were perfect for the morning. Let Ric know that he is doing a great job!
- I am pumped about tonight. The Diamond Dawgs play Stanford in their second game of the College Baseball World Series. Go Dawgs!
- I am listening to the playoff right now between Rocco Mediate and Tiger Woods for the U.S. Open. In light of yesterday being my 4? birthday, I am rooting for the old guy Rocco! He will be the oldest winner of a U.S. Open should he win. Go Geritol man! I hope he drank his Ensure this morning! Win one for us old guys.
- I want to thank Craig and everyone for my signed cane I received yesterday for my 4? birthday. I hope you all trip and need crutches by the end of the week!
