Monday Morning Downloads

*The Lord blessed us with another great gathering last night.
*Pastor Mike baptized a whole bunch of people and their ages ranged from 6 to 86!!!!
*Matt helped with the Baptisms and he was really good at making the people feel comfortable and loved. That is a gift for sure, and if someone wants to be a pastor and doesn't have the love for people, they might as well just keep on preaching to their pets.
*Joe was a lot more comfortable with opening the service. That makes me happy.
*People have been asking a lot of questions about Donovan and his crew and the reason I don't ever name them from the pulpit is mainly because Donovan likes to keep the focus off of them and on the Holy Spirit. I dig that and I respect it, but I do want to give you the names of the band so that you can pray for them by name.
Donovan leads, sings and plays keyboard. Lindsey sings and tambourines her heart out. Nathan plays electric guitar and does a lot of the grunt work. Larry plays bass and carries more wisdom than any of us probably will ever know. Judy sings and plays piano and whatever else is needed. Ryan is the drummer. I've known Ryan since he was in seventh grade. David just joined them on acoustic guitar. David was with me in our CrossOver days. I think every one of them sings except Ryan. I heard Ryan sing the other day and I realize now why they put that drum shield up in front of him. Erika does all of the media and behind the scenes stuff. She also plays bass and teaches and types out all of my stuff for the screens.
*Misty was back with us tonight and it makes a big difference to me. She tells me afterwards if I rambled too much and she said I visited Ramble Town a few times last night. I'll work on that.
*I got so jacked up and moving so fast at the end that I skipped my daisy demonstration. I'll bust that one out in the future I'm sure.
*God has been so good that I couldn't begin to list everything He has done to bring all of this to such a great place.
*I said last night that there have been a few times in my life that I knew I was in the right place at the right time with the right people, and last night was one of those times!
*After every service Joe brings me a cup of water. What a cool thing to do. Its a small thing but it means big stuff to me.
*Thanks to all of you that are coming out on Sunday nights to worship with us. I love seeing each of you and learning along side you all.
