Thursday at Caribou Coffee

• Thursday nights have been fun for me the past few weeks. I take Rayanne to youth group on Thurs nights and I go to Caribou Coffee and blog, read, etc until it is over at 9:00. Joe lets me use his laptop which makes me feel young and hip and it is a Mac so I feel even younger and more hip. Although just using the word "hip" probably takes me down a notch on the cool scale. I'm not a big coffee house guy. I honestly prefer McDonald's ice coffee. It's not as strong and its cheaper. But Caribou Coffee offers an orange tea which I am growing very fond of.
• Pattie went to Chattanooga with her sister while her mother goes in the hospital over night for some tests. Please pray for her mother. Her blood count keeps going down and they don't know why. Pray for Pattie also. It will be a long night in the hospital. It's never a good place to get rest.
• It's weird not to have to get a sermon together for Sunday. But I have a busy summer to prepare for.
• Several pastors in the area have been reaching out to me hearing that we were having to move out of the warehouse. Ross Wiseman from Metro Church, Brian Jones from The Point Church, Philip Young from Holly Springs baptist. These are great guys and all say they want to help in any way they can and I appreciate the gestures and their prayers.
  
• I had a lengthy talk with Gary Lamb of Revolution Church on Tuesday. It was good to speak to him. I am always challenged by him. And even though he is taking over our warehouse, it was good to tell him what I felt God was leading me to do and get his input. Gary can come across a little hard with his straight forward, honest approach but he always has some wisdom that is worth hearing and causes you to examine the way you are thinking and the way you are doing things. Its a good thing.
• June is going to be a busy month. Not only are we moving and trying new things but I will also be traveling to Indianapolis, Denver, and Gulf Shores, AL. I will be speaking at a camp in Gulf Shores for Ewtonville Baptist in Dunlap, TN. 8 messages in 5 days. Pray for me and the teens that will be there. In July we are planning a trip to Lakeland, FL for our nephew's wedding. We have never traveled this much.
• No Lost Party tonight. The two-hour season finale is next thursday. Can't wait.
• Watched the whole season of American Idol but missed the finale this week. I called David Cook as the winner from the beginning.
