Sunday Night Thoughts

**Awesome day at Coast today...  We finished up our "Fearless" series and I talked about overcoming fear in a crisis.  I think it struck a nerve...

**Lot of hurting people in church today... the response to the message was phenomenal.

**Its been an extremely long week... with my Mom in intensive care... and all the normal stuff going 100 miles an hour... I am running pretty much on empty.

**I felt that tiredness tonight as I spent time with the teens...  There were lots of questions... and in my tired, depleted state, I really don't believe I was on my "A" game.  We have such a great group of teens and they deserve my best whenever I am with them...   I'm going to spend some time with them in the weeks to come and talk about the basics of the faith...  I think it will be good... but I left tonight wishing I had done some things differently.

**Mom is having a heart cath tomorrow and today they removed close to a litre of fluid off her lung.  She has handled everything well and really has kept a great spirit during it all.  Thanks to everyone who is covering her in prayer... Don't stop!

**Sunday for Mother's Day is really going to be different at Coast.... we are calling it "Real Talk with Real Mom's."  Its going to be off the hook, or off the chain, or whatever its supposed to be off of... I'll just say its going to be fun.

**Our bookstore folks, Cathy and Josh are designing new Coast tshirts... I am looking forward to seeing what they look like... I'm sure they will be cool.

**New website is also in the works... I love where this thing is going and I can't wait to let you see it... soon.

**Baptism coming up in two weeks... and we are going to be baptizing a boat load of folks.  I'm stoked!

**I'm going to crash hard tonight...  really hard!

**I love our church...  great people... great servant hearts.
