- Ed and I had a lot of fun yesterday just talking about Chapter 2 and revealing the total of the pledges. In case you missed it...it's just over $1.64 million. Way to go, CCC!!!!
- For those who were wondering...No, Ed and I didn't plan to wear the exact same colored shirt! I can't believe so many of you notice that kind of stuff. Maybe it's a good distraction to some of the crazy things that tend to come out of our mouths.
- The highlight of the day for me: "Hope of the World" by Mike Parker. That guy can write a song, can't he?
- I can't reveal the total of the first fruits offering but it is an incredible start to Chapter 2. CCC is certainly becoming a generous church. I am proud and humbled at the same time to be a part of this church family.
- I'm looking forward to speaking again this Sunday. (My short drama career is over. Thank God!!!) The title of the message is "When You Don't Feel Like Giving Thanks." It's based on 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Make sure you get to church after all your Thanksgiving festivities. It's going to be a great service.
- If you've liked our dramas featuring Saturday Night Live characters over the past couple of weeks, don't miss this Sunday!!! We've got another classic one for ya!
- It's good to be a bulldog fan!!! (Now if we could just get some help from Tennessee. I'll be up there this week for Thanksgiving. I'll see what I can do.)

Sunday afternoon thoughts!
Hi Jason, just wanted to say that I thought your sermon was great. And I think it was just for me (ha!). I came to church this morning just discouraged with life. I have a sign in my office that says "the more you count your blessings, the more there will be to count". I try to live by those words, but it is not always easy. I am plagued with marital and financial problems right now. I know it it temporary and that if I keep my eyes to the light, I will get through the dark clouds.
I am currently reading the old testament all the way through. It is hard not to have the "old" ways kind of permeate your spirit. God punished a lot of people for their sins. I was thinking in my mind before your sermon that my troubles were straight from God. That there was some lesson that I needed to learn, and surely something that I am doing to tick God off. While I am sure I do need to learn a lesson, I am also glad that God is not heaping burning coals on me. I really tend to think that way and your sermon truly helped me!
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It doesn't hurt to have an awesome church to remind me that He cares for me like a father. Accepting that fact, will get me farther in my walk than anything else.
So, thanks so very much for your words. They were very comforting to me. :)
Thank you for your encouraging words. I'm glad to know God was using all the stuff our team presented today.
ok, I've been missing for a few weeks, but we're back this Sunday!!!!!!!!! I had surgery the beginning of the month, but that's no excuse!! The truth is, I LOVE the services. I feel bad every Sunday I don't go. Not GUILTY..well, a little, but more so that I really missed out. I get so emotional because everything is so real, then I cry during the service and feel like a great big dork, but I don't care anymore, so just look for the girl who cries about everything, that's me, I'm no longer ashamed!! hee hee
