Top Moments From 2008 (Pt. 2 of 4)

30 12 2008

I’m taking highlights from each month this past year.  Just reminiscing a little bit.  Here are #9 – 7.

#9  April — Sunday April 27th was a cool day.  We made two MAJOR announcements that day.  #1 was we were hiring The General full time.  The other was our leasing of the space we currently worship in.  We started The Climb project to raise money.  I spoke on Jonathan and his armor bearer and Adam wrote an original song called “The Heart Of A Warrior”.  It was an awesome day.  VERY scary, but awesome!  You can read about it HERE.  Not very often than an announcement makes your top moments.  This one does.  Especially now that it’s come to fruition.

#8 May — Two GREAT stories from May.  Nothing to do with church.  “We should go to the Pentagon!”  Read it HERE.  Also you can read about “Perma-grin” and “Vomitron” HERE. Andy also moved here in May.  That was awesome!

#7 June — Demo begins on the building.  LITTLE did we know how painstaking the permit process would be.  CRAZY what we accomplished in here.  Read HEREHERE.  There are picture links on both those blogs.

Remembering,

Jeff





“Hey Dad!”

30 12 2008

Adam and I were out in the worship center talking sound stuff with a sound tech this afternoon when from behind me I heard “Hey Dad!”.  It was Jonah’s voice and it took me a second to realize “My son shouldn’t be here why did I just hear his voice?”  I turned, and sure enough, there was Jonah.  He said “I came to see you.  We were over at Marcus’ Grandpas shop and I wanted to come say hi”.  (Marcus is a friend of Jonah’s, his grandpa has a motorcycle shop across the street from Element)  I LOVED that.  He didn’t need anything.  He wasn’t whining or complaining about something.  He wasn’t hurt.  Sick.  Upset.  Sad.  NOTHING!  He just wanted to see me.  To say “hi”.  To be around me.  Made me wonder.  How often do I just sit and go to my heavenly Father, just because He’s my dad.  When I don’t need anything.  Just to be near Him.  Talk.  Not whining or complaining.  Not hurt.  Sick.  Upset.  Sad.  Just because?  When was the last time you went to God, just because?

Thinking out loud,

Jeff
