The energy at Fusion the past couple of weeks has been amazing! God’s definitely up to something. You can just feel it!
The band has been doing a great job and I’m really digging some of the new songs we’re doing.
We overdid it with the smoke today. :) Hopefully, we’ll get that dialed in next week.
I’m so proud of my wife. She was a real trooper and rocked the bass even though she was sick.
I’m not going to lie. I think I butchered my sermon this morning. I wanted to do so much more. Still, given the fact that I felt horrible yesterday and this morning, I guess it was okay.
Sermons are sort of like landing an airplane…Any sermon that you can walk away from is a good one. :)
One highlight is that I used a flip chart today on stage. How cool/geeky is that?
I know that the sickness in our home was just the devil. I need to start tracking how often someone in my family gets sick on Saturdays. I think it would be an eye-opening chart.
I need to enlist a group of people that will commit to pray for me, my family, the staff, their families and the church in general every Saturday night.
I’ve got a couple of friends that are really hurting right now. It breaks my heart. I can’t stop thinking about them.
A bunch of people from Fusion stepped up in a big way yesterday to help some folks in need. I’m VERY proud of you guys! Thank you for being the church yesterday.
I think this Whispers series is exactly what God wants us to be studying right now.
This is the first week for our growth groups to base their discussions on the sermon. I wish I could be at every group to listen to all those discussions.
I got a lot of flack about saying that peanut butter M&M’s are better that Reeses Pieces on twitter the other day but it’s true and I won’t back down.
The sickness in our house this weekend ruined all our Valentine’s plans. Amy and I ended up having a “romantic” dinner in the dinning room while the kids ate in the kitchen. It didn’t matter that much though because any meal with my wonderful and amazing wife is a treat regardless of the circumstances.
I mentioned distractions today during my message. I know that the enemy has been trying to distract me a lot lately. Please pray that I focus on the right things.
BSG (Battlestar Galactica) is getting really, really good. I’ve been watching in on Hulu in bits an pieces when I have time.
Facebook is driving me nuts. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. At the same time, I don’t want to disconnect from all the Fusion folks that are on there.
My blog has been suffering from neglect lately. I’ll try to blog more soon.
I used a Amazon gift card I got for Christmas to buy a Wii Fit last week. I really like it but every time I step on it, it says, “Please, one at a time.” What does that mean? :)
Later.

I thought today was awesome! Funny… you say butcher. I say awesome. Not sure what you felt but from out in the peanut gallery I just thought it was great! Fog machine I thought was perfect too. Beautiful set. Didn’t think it too much fog. Just like cow bell. Always need more fog. And the band. Holy Smokes! no pun intended. They’ve always been great… but I think this is the best I’ve heard them sound and again it’s always been great. Just took it to another level this morning. Perfection! So thanks for the awesome talent and effort! = )

I was taking notes like crazy during the sermon today, so I apparently I prefer the butchered approach.

I really like that the worship team has been upping their game with lights and 3-part harmonies and just overall sounding great. I think the fog is a nice addition (I’ve noticed at concerts that they use a light haze to pick up the lighting effects). Maybe the setting was a bit high, but I think these sorts of trial-and-error things are a sign of a team really working to improve the worship experience.

Mike and I hosted a Parents Night Out for our church here in MN on Valentine’s Day. We thought it’d be nice to give parents a chance to get out on the “romantic” holiday. I asked all the parents how their evenings went, and if you weren’t one of the type A people who made reservations, you didn’t get in to one nice restaurant unless you wanted to spend 2 1/2 hours waiting for a table. Most of the couples ended up at the Food Court at the mall, and even that was crowded. You and Amy might’ve fared much better with your quiet evening at home. Now you can plan a romantic dinner on a weeknight or something. :) Glad to hear you folks are feeling better.

I loved the message yesterday! David said the band sounded the best EVER yesterday, I agree!

Tony, I’d be honored to pray for you and your family on Saturdays…and anytime!

BSG has been awesome this year and Peanut Butter M&M’s are wayyyy better than Reese’s Pieces. That’s 2 out of 2 pleasantly plump men on the side of M&M’s. Who can argue with that kind of data?
