Sunday Stuff 07-26-2009

I’ll be honest and say that today felt a little rough around the edges to me but I’m still confident God did His thing.
I loved the smell of popcorn in the lobby before the service.
I also loved the classic movie soundtracks playing before the service.
Jason did an outstanding job with the set design, as always.
The lighting guys did a great job too. Those guys add so much and I always forget to mention them here.
We were talking about the movie Enchanted today.
I realize it’s a kids movie but I wanted to tackle the theme of optimism in a pessimistic world.
I never felt like I got into a rhythm while I was preaching but God is bigger than my shortcomings.
In a way, the past couple of weeks have left me feeling like my messages were for specific people in the room. (I’m not sure if that makes sense to most folks but I bet my fellow pastors out there know what I’m talking about.)
I want to be sure to thank the prayer team that gets together every Sunday to pray for Fusion. I feel your prayers! Thank you!
We showed a little-known clip from Enchanted today that featured both me and Seth in a small cameo. Everybody seemed to love it!
Today was graduation day in Kingdom Safari. I loved seeing some kids carrying around their graduation Bibles after the service.
We’re going to be talking about Iron Man next week. I can’t wait for that.
We had a lot of folks out of town on vacation today so attendance was light. I’m so ready for Summer to be over.
I’m so very thankful for all of you folks that make up Fusion! I want you to know that I love being your pastor and I love you.
Later.
