A Chat With Dad

Its starting to come together. I find myself thinking more and more about that first Sunday in the theatre...looking up at all the faces (at Heather and the worship teams!!) Its crazy to think that in six short weeks we'll being ministering in the theatre.

Last night talking with my dad caused more thankfulness. 27 years ago, he and my mom moved to Knoxville from Union City TN. Driving around town looking for places to worship led to approaching the Middle School @ Cedar Bluff. With my grandparents and our family as the only sure things for the first Sunday, they opened the doors. My mom played a little piano in the music room and sang three choruses. Twenty other folks rolled in and gave 96 dollars for that first offering.

Well, we've got it made. 100 or so people have committed to coming-the greatest worship team available--greatest children's ministry and awesome volunteer base--the greatest parent church available.

I am very thankful for God blessing with this awesome opportunity to walk on the water.

God bless
