A Sunday Off
Posted on October 13, 2008 | Filed Under Sunday Night Updates, West Rome, XL
Wow, what a day I had on Sunday. It was so refreshing to be able to go to West Rome and XL and just be a part of what was going on. Here are some of the great things that I noticed from the back. First, at West Rome, Chris did a super job of bringing the message. God really spoke through him and he was totally comfortable on the stage. That just means that God is working through him and he did a superb job. And, Cliff, well he just always rocks. It was really great to get to sit in the back one week and watch our people get involved in the worship time. They truly do love the Lord and love to worship Him and Cliff just does a super job of leading them to His throne each week.
Then, at XL, man, Craig did an awesome job. I was so fired up for him. For one thing, it was just a great, high energy night all the way around. The band did great and they set Craig up perfectly. And, Craig just did great. Of course, he had to go and call me out on a couple of things but I’ll let him slide this time.
One of the coolest things I recognized about the day is that, if I was a guest at either West Rome or XL, I would come back. Everyone on staff and all of the greeters just did great work and I love being a part of these places. Tiffany and I did think about what we wanted to do since we were off for the day, but I just couldn’t think of anything better to do than go to church. And, not just any church, but our church. I really did not want to miss what was going to happen at WR or XL. That kind of fires me up.
One other thing I learned: When we build a new building one day, it probably won’t have a balcony. I sat under the balcony Sunday and it’s just hard to engage from back there. Of course, the big column in my way didn’t help, but for some reason, it’s just hard to get a real feel of what’s happening in the room from underneath there.
So, for both XL and West Rome, great job to everyone involved in making both of them happen. God is so using our staff and our volunteers to help people find and follow His plan for their lives. That is what it’s all about and I’m proud to be able to be your Pastor.
God bless you all!

You HAD to sit with the trouble makers last Sunday night didn’t you. Any other place would be too tame for you at XL.
I never like sitting under a balcony anywhere. The Alamodome is my least favorite and Fielder was my second least favorite.

You should sit near the front sometime. But if you do, watch out. The crazy pastor might make fun of you.
Come sit right up front with us. It gets kind of Crazy !! You can’t possibly be as proud to be our Pastor as we are to have you as our Pastor. When I first came to to WRBC we sat under the balcony. Some of us need to be slapped in the face with God’s message, so we had to move to the front row. Right where he want’s us.
