The weekend has past...

Saturday started out with an interesting excercise at the church where you evaluated yourself for strengths and such. While I'm sure it was beneficial to some, I had been through others before so I was a little bored. Hopefully it helped someone. It was good to see a few new faces willing to participate in these sorts of things though.

Went home and worked on some things I need to get done before my "guests" arrive in 2 weeks. Ran out and did some errands. Also checked out the new Publix. FINALLY! A real grocery store. While I was waiting to order a sub sandwich there, I met a guy named Darius from over in Atlanta. He and his wife moved here about a year ago and were also eager for the Publix to open. Turns out he pastors a church somewhere here. I told him a bit about Crosspoint. He seemed interested in that. Got my food and we parted ways. Saw Terry over in the seafood department. He normally works at the Madison Publix. He was bummed that they didn't transfer him. He lives in Trinity so it would have been convenient for him. Oh well.

Got back home and did more work in the yard. I hate leaves. Just need to get that out there. Leaves suck.

Know what else sucks? Cleaning bathtubs and tile. We must have some really hard water around here as a thick layer of lime builds up on the surfaces and is like chalk to get off. Major pain in the butt to clean but I got it done. Later, I did some laundry before going to bed.

Church went much better than our practice last Wednesday would have led you to believe. Everything pretty much went off without a hitch. Sound was slightly off but Donny came on the scene and got everything back in order. It's definitely nice to have Donny around. He mentioned he had a bit of a rough week. Hope this next one's better for him. Everyone did a great job this morning. Dave did great as well with his message and illustration. Lots of visitors this morning. It was good to see all who made it out.

Applebee's won out for the lunch choice. My food today was good, suprisingly. Kyle and I gave our necks and eyeballs a good workout looking at all the "scenery" there. It was few and far between but if you worked at it, you'd find something worth checking out. Next, nap time. Ahhh....

Got up and headed to the grocery store to pick up some items for the get together at Kev and Stacey's. Had some good burgers and a good time just hanging out. Kyle showed up a little later to join us. We all had a good discussion about spiritual things and where we were, etc. I laid out some thoughts of mine and shared them with the group on how "connected" I felt to God and why. My basic complaint was that I found myself to be too passive instead of taking an active part in reaching others. I've got to think on that then do something about it.
