I'm back!

I am back. I had an amazing time on vacation, but it's time to get back to reality.

* I am pumped about the new series we will be starting tomorrow called, Awakening. If you have ever felt spiritually dry or apathetic, this series will focus on how to get your spiritual life back in gear.

* I think this series will be one of the best series we've ever had. I think there will be a whole lot of people who are awakened.

* We will also have Joy Honeycutt with us. She is a fantastic singer with a fantastic story of God's grace.

* I have missed Foothills Community Church. We visited a lot of great churches, but as the great theologian Dorothy once said, "there's no place like home."

* I am super-rested up. Having an extended time away is so therapeutic for the soul.

* It's hard to believe that it's almost August. Where does time go?

* I can't wait to see all of you tomorrow, and don't forget to invite a friend.

summer fun

I haven't been blogging for a couple of weeks because I have been on vacation. I am having an absolute blast. I'm getting a chance to visit family and do a lot of fishing. This year I trailered my boat down to Florida, and for the most part the seas have been calm, so we have been able to go offshore a bit.
If there is one thing that re-energizes me, it's fishing. Here is a pic of me and my nephew with a double-up on cobia.In case you're not familiar with cobia, it is probably the best tasting fish that swims!! The second picture is the "after" picture of the cobia!

What a week!

It was an incredible week at Foothills Community Church. Between the 2 campuses we baptized another 22 people! (That's 40 people this month!)

It all started Thursday evening with a time of worship, communion and baptism at our Seneca campus. Then on Sunday evening over in Toccoa they had a big party/baptism on Lake Hartwell. My wife and I were able to go and hang out with them, and we had a blast!

* We continued our Control Freak series on Sunday with a message about controlling our tongues. This is a tough one for most people. I know it is for me!

* We had over 20 people give their lives to Jesus at our Seneca campus on Sunday!!

* Even though it was 4th of July weekend, the attendance in the auditorium wasn't too bad. The kids numbers were way down. Lots of people on vacation.

* I think this was my first 4th of July were I didn't see any fireworks. Not one. I need to get out more.

* I keep getting unbelievable messages from people about life-change. God is doing some things behind the scenes that would blow your minds.

* Hard to believe it's already July.

* Please join me in praying for our team of 23 people that is in Harlan County, KY doing ministry through our Project Reach initiative.
