MONDAY MIND DUMP (Sunday Night Version)

I am so stoked about today, there's no way I can possibly wait until tomorrow to download.  So...here we go:

1. Nat Lurie - Off the chain!  Great job! Kudos!  Like a Pro!  "What the Crap?"  Hahaha, you bought it today girl, and left it ALL on the platform.  I appreciate your boldness and willingness to stand and deliver! GREAT MESSAGE! My BIG takeaway from it...DISCUSS EXPECTATIONS...PRAY FOR YOUR SPOUSE EVERY DAY!  Good stuff.  Thanks.
2. Explosions in the tweet-o-sphere!  Roadies connecting.  It's a mad, mad craze and we're all learning about one another.  What a cool thing.
3. Great crowd yet again.  Our average attendance is climbing.
4. The lobby was ELECTRIC this morning (@leslieoden)!
5. First-time attenders rock!
6. Thanks Laura Armstrong for killing "Mom & Pop" in the main sanctuary with the hot new custom fit seat concealers!  Way to help us get our sheets together! 
7. What a HUGE donut victory and a (Bob Ross) happy accident by Krispy Kreme!  What it taught us about our crowd today:  They like VARIETY. What a great tweak! Way to take control Janna (no Donuts in the WHOLE town of Dothan)!
   
8. Thanks to @JCutrell for steeping up and stepping in for Officer McElveen today.
9. DUG the Taylor Swift tune...twice!
10. Way to WORK IT set-up team.  Volunteers stepping up and helping out all over the building.  @Benrice1 bringing leadership to make the whole thing rock solid.  Watch it grow.     
11. Amped about the billboards and the other adverts that are giving presence to what God has given Crossroads.
12. Overwhelming amount of communication cards got filled out today (maybe people were hoping I'd stop talking if they filled them out)!  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
13. Strong giving for the first of the month.  Yea, God!
14. Moved by what God is doing by his Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit in our midst.
15. Great meeting with Community Group Leaders tonight.  Great leadership from Leslie (she's WAY smarter than me - and holds shorter meetings)!
16. Again...way to go Natalie.  Thanks for all the hard work (and for Prince Charming's help - ouch, sorry, Will) putting together a great, and totally practical message!

So excited about today, I'll be buzzing deep into the night.  Pray - continually - that God would give us the wisdom to know EXACTLY how to reach people that left church, got burned in church, got burned out by church, or never went to church.  Pray - continually - that God would equip us to share his love with the beat up and the bummed out.  Pray - continually - for God to strengthen marriages in our church.  And pray that those far from God would find him alive, well, forgiving, patient, caring, compassionate, and ready to receive them at Crossroads every time the doors are open.

Love you guys.  Have a GREAT week!
