Vision

Friday, July 28th, 2006

One thing I love to talk about is the vision of Palm Valley Church. Why? Because it’s one area of my life I know that I heard from God about. Months before our first service at PVC, I wrote out the vision of what I believed God was saying to me about the type of […]

Vacation Is Over

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Drove 8 hours home today from Colorado. The trip was pretty easy, but the boys got a little feisty in the back towards the end. May have been some bad parenting, but  I had to laugh as they were taking out aggression on each other
It was a great week in the mountains; no […]

Darius brought it

On Vacation

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Okay, so you’re wondering where are the posts?

Great Staff Meeting

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Today was a great staff meeting. We spent time talking about what God did this weekend, celebrating the changed lives. I really thought the team pulled off a great weekend with the move to the theater. The volunteers didn’t miss a beat in accomodating the changes!
What topped off staff today was watching Andy Stanley together. I […]

Failure

Monday, July 17th, 2006

I had someone come talk to me today about an area our church had failed them in. Now, I’m not talking about someone with unrealistic expectations that the Church exists solely for them. This person is a huge part of our church, and we let them down in an area they have a very realistic […]

Tim Got Married

Monday, July 17th, 2006

I had the privilege of doing a wedding for a young couple in our church this weekend.  The groom, Tim, has a very special place in my heart, so this ceremony had great meaning to me. And yes, Tim and I  both cried through much of it.
I led Tim to Christ 11 years ago in […]

Weekend Reflections

Monday, July 17th, 2006

We wrapped up the “Don’t Fight Naked” series, and I talked about persistent prayer. It’s vital for our church to develop a greater heart and stamina for prayer. I think this weekend was a start to that!
We met in the theater, which made for a really […]
