Sunday review

Week #3 of our Family Wipeout series was a tough message to deliver. we talked about marital infidelity. So many marriages/families have been destroyed because of this epidemic.

* The statistics are staggering. Some show that 50% of all men and 40% of all women have had adulterous relationships--- that seems unbelievable to me.

* I talked about 4 things you can do to avoid an affair: 1. Improve your walk with God. 2. Invest into your own marriage. 3. incorporate guardrails into your life. 4. Imagine the consequences.

* It was tough to do that message knowing that there were people in the service that were dealing with the aftermath of adultery.

* There is an attack on the family unit. Foothills Community Church is committed to helping families, that's why we tackle the tough topics.

* David Odom knocked it out of the park, singing Ring of Fire!

* I am so pumped about this Sunday's message. We will be talking about the Blessing. You need to be there!

* Our staff is working on some new parameters for serving as a leader at Foothills. We are going to be raising the bar, but that's what leadership is all about!

* We will be doing the Trunk Or Treat for Halloween at Walmart again this year. This is a HUGE opportunity for us to connect with our community. Last year there were over 8,000 people that came!!

* Our Toccoa campus will be having their Big A Party on Oct. 30th. It will be very similar to the Seneca campus Party in the Pasture, but they will be having a trunk or treat in their parking lot too.

* Looking forward to connecting with some pastor friends next week in Dallas. I love hanging out with these guys!

* Honored to be asked by my friend, Dean Herman to help lead his staff retreat in November. God is doing big things at Dean's church.

* Hoping to go to the Clemson game next Saturday. How bout those Tigers?!
