Party Update

Posted on August 24, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Pointless Rambling, Uncategorized

Before I do the Sunday night report, I have to start with the birthday party update. I will say this right from the beginning, we will never be doing that again! Not that we don’t love all the children, we just don’t need ALL the children staying over at one time. I knew we were going to have a problem when I was in the garage digging through the trash for one girls glasses. Wow, what a beautiful thing that was. But, when you put 10 3rd grade girls together for about 12 hours, you know they can’t all get along. You can’t put 2 girls together for that long and have them get along, much less 10. So, all in all, the house is sill in one piece. although my recliner may have a little trouble, and everyone seems to have made it out alive. I’m just saying, if you want to have a sleepover party, limit it to about two friends. Not ALL of the friends.

One of my favorite conversations of the night went like this:
Christina Floyd: Mr. Jarrod, I’m hot.
Jarrod: Ok, what do you want me to do?
Christina: Well, make it colder.

You gotta love’em!

But, Taylor had fun and that’s all that matters really, right? There ya go.

What an Honor!

Posted on July 20, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized

So, today I was reminded of how much of an honor it is to be a Pastor. At West Rome this morning, God showed up in a HUGE way. From the first words of the first song that our Worship Team lead us in, God was ALL over our time together. One of the most exciting things in the world to see happen as a Pastor is when your people truly get what you are teaching them. We have been doing a series on “God’s Amazing Grace” over the past few weeks. Listening to our church worship this morning, it is very obvious that they are truly getting a grip on God’s grace. Their spirit is beyond anything that I have ever seen. Our Worship Ministry is totally on every week and it is so real to them. You can just see it. You can tell that they believe everything that they sing. It is truly the best church in the world to be a part of. I was standing on the front row this morning just being amazed that God has called me to lead these people forward. God blew my mind and He continues to do so. I am so thankful for where my family gets to worship each week and all the cool stuff that I know God has planned for the future.

Then, tonight we get to go to XL. For the second week in a row we set a record for the largest attendance on any summer Sunday night. We had tons of new people and I have already heard about how God used the message to touch someone’s heart. That makes it all worth it. We had a great night with all kinds of four wheel vehicles stuck in the ditch out front and a huge rock climber on stage. The drummer was actually inside a tent on stage. XL has got to be the craziest most exciting thing I’ve ever been a part of and it rocked tonight. We had a whole new set and the set team did an awesome job!!! And, just to make sure we plug them: Ian Trapp played for us tonight and they rocked our faces off. Those guys are really great and if you have a chance to go see them somewhere, get there. They rock!!!

Well, that’s about it for today. God is awesome and I’m thankful to be a part of what He’s doing around here.
