healer [revisited]
ever since i downloaded hillsong’s “this is our god” album, i have been thinking about the song ‘healer.’ as many of you know, it was a huge hit. many of you also know that the author, michael guglielmucci, faked his ordeal with cancer in order to cover up an addiction to porn. he came clean and is now (to the best of my knowledge) allowing God to restore and heal him. the whole thing is a bit ironic if you ask me.
maybe it’s ’cause i identify so closely with this song, maybe it’s because i identify all too closely with michael’s struggles…but something in me would love to see this song put on set lists in churches all over the america.
we all fail. but as brad powell says, our failure doesn’t have to be final.
weekend update + series ending
this weekend was a bit busy. I spoke in all 3 of our Junior High services…which went really great. Bill Holbrook did wonderful leading volunteers so I wouldn’t have to worry about any of that.
my talk was on boundaries in dating. great subject for jh kids.
then sunday night came. this time bill spoke in velocity, which was a nice break for me. we wrapped up our “goin’ all the way” series with a talk on loneliness. bill hit it out of the park.
our next series is called ‘red letters.’ watch the promo video here.
another key event this weekend: i was given a free iPhone. a volunteer decided to bless me with his 4G 1st generation iPhone. i am now an AT&T customer.
i’m still reading crazy love and tribes
what i’m excited about: like having an iPhone isn’t enough?!? i’m excited to solidify our summer trips, as well as plan for our EMERGE weekend experience.

Goin’ all the way – week 2
Sunday February 15, 2009 – Velocity Service || 6p
For a synopsis of week one, click here.
Series: Goin’ all the way
Talk: Love
Summary: John 15:13 and 1 John 3:16 lay it out there. [real] love is laying your life down for someone else. Jesus was the example. we are to follow. what does that look like for a high school student? putting ones own agenda aside for another person is certainly difficult, but it is what we are called to do…in every relationship, not just dating/marriage.
Bottom Line: Love is sacrifice
Creative Elements: we showed 2 videos. this one. and that one.
Song List: You’ll come, Lead me to the cross, Better is one day
I heart Mac
We recently replaced our volunteer computer (PC) with a Mac Mini. 1) The PC was outdated and running slower than the first computer ever made 2) Let’s face it, Mac is better than PC. Enjoy this brilliant video:
Well, what do you think?
