merry christmas!

what a run it's been...

1. This morning was a great morning. the kids did a great job sleeping until 630...

2. yesterday, there were 4 great Christmas services at my campus. I got to teach the 3pm so that Jeff could teach at Barrington. He did a great job with the message and the creative arts team did an excellent job with the program.

3. We've finished up the remodel project on the main floor. The hope at the beginning was to use existing space to more effectively allow people to connect while at the campus. in the past few services it's been open, that's exactly what we've seen. It's exciting to see people stick around for a half hour just talking about life and what they just experienced.

4. Heidi's dad continues to recover from his heart attack. We're thankful to God for this...truly a miracle!

5. We're heading over to the Sue house for a great afternoon celebrating Christmas together.

6. I'm always struck by this holiday. It brings me back to the power of the birth...God with us.

May you sense God's presence as you celebrate today!

hold on tight...

this season has been racing by...hence my horrible posting record. Sorry, Mom!

Here are a few quick hits from the past couple weeks:

1. I thought New York politics was dirty...welcome to the home of Rod Blogowhatever...he's taken things to a new level. Makes me proud.

2. Heidi's dad had a massive heart attack...while entering the hospital where one of hte best cardiologists in east michigan was on duty. God spared him in a big way. We're grateful to God that Lou is home today and doing great!

3. The renovation projects at The Chapel are winding down. Amazing!

4. God is faithful on so many fronts. Will name more later.
