What are you thankful for?

As 2006 is about to end, I took some time to think of the things I'm most thankful for this year. Here's my top 10

10. Bicycling over 1,500 miles again this year
9. My two dogs (Lumpy & Gino)
8. Being on staff at NewPointe Community Church
7. Praying regularly with my two kids
6. My Small Group ( I love those guys)
5. Good Health
4. Coffee (I'm now roasting my own at home)
3. Financial Peace (No consumer debt)
2. My Wife
1. Being used by God to make a difference in peoples lives. (There is no feeling in the world that can match this.)

Please take some time this weekend to come up with your own top 10 list.

Happy New Year!

I'm still here. . .

Thanks for checking back in on my Blog. I've been silent here since Nov. 17th. It hasn't been a lack of wanting to blog.

As you know, we have moved into our new facility and until Christmas, I haven't had the time or energy to get blogging.

The move and the first three weeks in the new building have gone better than anyone here on earth could have hoped for. (Thanks God!) Each week that passes, we continue to make improvements. Progress is great. In no way did we anticipate the increase in attendance. We've gone from averaging 1,500 to averaging 2,100 a weekend.

There is an energy and excitement seen and felt by everyone in the building. I'm an so grateful to be a part of what God is doing through NewPointe Community Church. If you haven't checked out our web site, I invite you to do so. www.newpointe.org
