What is on my mind

So the past couple of days I have been doing alot of thinking about life and what not. I have been asking myself tons of questions. But the one question that has been on my mind alot is this.

  • When we get to heaven will we see the people that have gone on there before us.

Will we know who they are, get to hug, kiss and have a great time with them. Will they look the same.

I would love to hear what you think

Prom Season

This is the season that teenagers across America go and get their hair did, nails painted, their fake and bake on and spend all their part time job money on a limo and dinner. For what you might ask PROM and I for one loved the prom. I got to dress up and bust a move to my favorite tunes out on the dance floor. I also love prom photos cause people wear so crazy stuff to the prom. A great way to kill some time is look up Ghetto Prom Photos........ hours of fun. But here is the best prom photo I have seen in while and it comes from a family I know. Just one word to describe it PRICELESS.

This will be me when my daughter goes off to PROM!!!!!!!!

Weekend Madness

  • Man what a crazy weekend again
  • Friday I headed to South Point to grab a few things and saw Tyler Zeller from UNC basketball team. Home Boy is listed at 7'1 and I believe it.
  • Friday night I also caught a great movie something I don't do often but it was nice.
  • Saturday I worked around the house. Cleaned windows, vac, mopped floors, washed dishes. You know all that manly stuff.
  • Saturday Laura and her mom heard off wedding dress shopping and she found the one.
  • Saturday Laura and her mom headed over to the house and I cooked us dinner. Grilled pork chops, boiled potato's and a garden salad.
  • Sunday was an great day for us at Hope Creek. Still seeing new faces which never gets old.
  • Chris and the band we off the hook with worship. Opened up with some Dave Matthews "Were are you going".
  • Scott was in week 2 of "It's Personal" Awesome job man
  • In Kidz Cove we are still rocking out with our value of conviction. Talked about Peter and John and how they stand up for what was right when they preached about Jesus after his death.
  • Sunday Laura and I headed to look at different tuxes for our wedding so we can get all that stuff started.
  • Sunday I also spoke in Big Rock about healthy relationships. I shared with them stories of my life before I had those healthy relationships. We studied the verse of Proverds 13:20. I think it was a good talk and it seems like the teens like it.

Weekend Madness

  • Let me start off by saying WOW this was an awesome weekend for us at Hope Creek. It will for sure go down in history as one of the best.
  • Friday night was our 2nd Journey to The Cross and it was just wonderful. And we followed that up with Good Friday service. Chris and Jessie were on point with worship on Friday night.
  • Saturday was Easter Egg Olympics and it was off the chains. Over 30 kids showing up to have fun on this all important weekend. Kids had a ball with the different stations. There was Egg Decorating, Egg Olympics (which is different relays kicked up Creek style), and the popular Egg Dropping.
  • We also had a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt with over a 1000 Easter Eggs for the kids. Tons of candy for everyone. And everyone walked away with some sort of prize so no one left empty handed.
  • Saturday I stayed around the church and just worked in The Cove to make sure everything was just right for everyone on Easter.
  • Sunday was the highlight of all the weeks hard work. We opened up the service with White Snakes "Here I Go Again". Yes we did White Snake in church and it was awesome.
  • There were only a handful of parking spots left during 2nd service and we also had to add seats during 2nd service which is just amazing. God was really rockin our world today at Hope Creek.
  • Worship was way tight. Maybe the best I have ever heard the worship team today.
  • Scott was all over the message kicking off " It's Personal"
  • In Kidz Cove we kicked it up a whole nother level with not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 actors as we told the story of Peter, John and Mary at the tomb of Jesus. Leroy as an Angel. WAY FUNNY!!!!!
  • The adults told me they could hear the kids laughing and having a great time so I think they had fun.
  • The whole Kidz Cove team stepped up big time. I wish I could name them all but there are to many. So let me just say from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU. You are the best team a guy could ask for. You challenge me daily to become better and it is an honor to service along side of you in helping kids and families into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Easter was awesome and our prayers were answered. We prayed all week that churches across the triangle would see a revival break out. That seats would be filled with folks craving the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that the Holy Sprint would work in the lives of the people that crossed through their doors. And he did that and so much more.
  • THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING
  • Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next week.
  • Oh and the UNC Tarheels are CHAMPS again. The start to an awesome week.

  • Got to drive a Bobcat to move the loads and yeah I almost died I really think I saw the face of GOD himself.

  • Saturday night I headed to Duke's Chapel for their Country Ham and Egg Dinner. Wow it was awesome
  • Sunday was another early day. As I headed to Hope Creek I could not help but think of all the folks in the area that need to hear the message of peace here on one of the holiest days of the year.
  • Awesome day at the Creek. Lots and lots of new faces. We had our Ministry Fair today and had new folks sign up to help out.
  • Speaking of the Ministry Fair the Kidz Cove team stepped up big time and made a killer booth for Kidz Cove
  • In Kidz Cove we shared the story of Jesus praying in the garden right before he was arrested. We talked about how alone he must have felt but that he still stood up for what was right.
  • Scott was all over the message today and Chris and the arts team had a slammin worship set.
  • It was a great day for us in the history of Hope Creek.
  • Another long week again this week. But can't wait to see what God has in store for us with Easter.
