That Was Then…

I had to take a couple of days off from posting because after taking some considerable time writing two different post on Saturday and Sunday I lost them both so I decided to ‘back away’ from the edge… but that was then and this is now so here I am again.

Sunday was another great day at Renovation.

Pastor John Hasselback did a fine job of helping us unpack how paralyzing guilt can be in our lives and how to come out of the cage of guilt so we can live free.

I love being a congregation that is helping launch new churches. Northgate is our third partnership in launching a new church plant… 2 here in Buffalo and 1 in Syracuse. Our faithful (you’s and me) giving in our tithes/offerings/love revolution allows us to be able to be generous and faithful to other Kingdom minded ministries.

What a Super Bowl…. I was pulling for my man Kurt Warner but Big Ben would not be denied!

I missed 24 last night due to going to this areas first FCA fund raising banquet. I am an old coach so I am thrilled to see FCA regain some presence here in WNY.

The Leadership Team is busy this week, as we are getting ready for our first MarriedLife Live at Renovation. There is a ton of work to do… if you have a couple of hours over the next few days swing by and lend a helping hand… we could use it!

Speaking of MLL – I always get excited for these nights because they are so much fun. A ton of work mind you but well worth the effort. MarriedLife is our strategy at Renovation to help equip, resource and inspire our married couples to not just survive their marriage but to thrive and to finish!

We take three nights a year and we take one of the Big 6 Essentials of a great marriage … Trust God… Cultivate Communication… Finish Together… Celebrate the Differences… Nurture Romance… Hurry Home… and we uncover, discover and unpack how we can grow in each of these essentials both personally and as a couple because our marriages deserve more! The environment is very romantic, the experience is great and it makes a very nice date night… trying to help my brothers out as much as I can!

As of today I have discovered what HD… DVR… On Demand means… FiOS has entered our home…  I find that more technology is usually not better just makes life more complicated and frustrating because I can’t figure out how to work what was supposed to make my life ‘better’ but FiOS is different… and it actually saved us a little cash so it’s a win/win!
