WEEKEND UPDATE (Mother's Day 2010)

Fantastic day at Crossroads on Sunday!  The weather was fabulous - crisp air, beautiful blue skies, just perfect.  Here's just a few of the things I noticed on Sunday:
  • Woke up and made Eggs Benedict for Leslie.  A Mother's Day tradition!  I ROCK Eggs Benedict!
  • Mother's Day at Crossroads!  What a great reason to get up and gather together!  Lots of mom's in the house...including mine!
  • GREAT crowd at both services!  We continue to grow each week at Crossroads.
  • So great to see so many people coming back to Crossroads after a few visits!  People digging in and hooking up!
  • MANY people made decisions on Sunday and the list of folks who are going public with their faith through Baptism next week is GROWING!!  So excited to see that!
  • Worship was fantastic.  Great job by Nic, Caleb and the band! 
  • LOVED the videos in Sunday's service.  Will & Chris's intro piece is a hoot!  The skit guys, "I'm Sorry" was also a great video segment!
  • Loved sharing about the history of Mother's Day.  Who knew??
  • Fun telling stories about buying my mom a card, and the minefield of Mother's Day gift buying!  Great laughs!
  • Praying together as a church family for moms and women in all situations was powerful!
  • Absolutely LOVED the scripture from Proverbs 31, breaking it down, and getting some insight into the life and heart of "King Lemuel's" mother!
  • In the first service I totally forgot a scripture reference, having to resort to: "Um...it's in the Bible".
  • In the second service I got tongue-tied about a half dozen different times.
  • Fortunately there's no Sermon Scoring section on our Communication Cards!
  • Made my Mom cry when I told the story about running away at 17.  (Good to know I don't make her cry like I used to!)
  • To the wife of my youth (and something for all guys to tell their wives): "There are many virtuous and capable women, but you surpass them all!"
  • Great takeaway to remember and put in practice every day: Children - BLESS your Mother!  Husbands - PRAISE your Wife!
Be praying this week for Beach, BBQ and Baptism: for God to move on the hearts of MANY to be Baptized, and for PERFECT weather! Have a GREAT week!!
