Another Week

Wow...I have been in houston/sugarland/richmond for 6 months now. Time goes by fast.
This week Richard (high school pastor) and i are trading spots. I am teaching in high school hour and I am excited about it. They are in a series called "Exploring God Myths" it has been fun preparing for this message. I will be talking about how God didn't promise us consistency but constancy. I have spent the morning at a local coffee shop it has been a good change. I wish I could office here.
I think there is one thing that we as Christian and leaders of the church we sometimes forget about and that person is the one that doesn't know Jesus. For me I think that I have got so comfortable in my little world and haven't reached out to the lost. I don't know if it's scary or what. As I finished the book "I sold my soul on ebay" I have been trying to understand what am I doing about the lost person down the street or right next door and hear me out I am not saying that you have to be "super Christian"and see how many people you bring to church but what if you started with a relationship with them and then went from there. I guess I am done talking about that.
I have changed gears in my reading and now I am reading a book "speaking to teenagers" by Doug Fields. I always need a little help with my speaking from a pro. I am also reading a book with my intern called "girls ministry 101" it's not very good.
We only have 2 more games of my football season. We are 3-5 thats not good. It has been a blast building relationship with the young man on the team. I will miss it. That is it for now.

Random

We are having a big middle cookout event! I am excited about it. We have done a great job of getting the word out. We have started to use a TEXT MESSAGE SYSTEM! Its great! Kids love it...
Lets change gears a little bit, we have a football game tonight. We are not playing very well but I think that we are in the process of making a change and turning this thing around.
I know that this coaching thing has been great for me. The closest thing I can get to football without playing.
I am speaking next week at a FCS (fellowship of students) at Dulles middle school. I think that speaking outside of sunday morning gives you an opportunity to reach kids that you may not see on sunday morning. I am speaking on Creation vs. Evolution this week to wrap up this series. I will take a week off from middle School and speak at High school next week. Then we will start a series called movies. I think that we are going to start using more video for announcement think that they will remember it more. God is doing great things..

what's going on

I guess Houston does get cold it's like 50 degree right now. I am finishing this hot topic series with talking about creation vs. evolution. I know one of the easy topics to talk about. huh?
I just finished reading this book called "Deadly Viper" by Mike Foster&Jud Wilhite. The book is about integrity and character it's a great book and a easy read. I am now reading a book called "I sold my soul on ebay" it's great so far. I have been reading a ton lately.
I hired a female intern and she is doing a great job. God is doing some amazing thing in the ministry here at RPC. We are growing and seeing new faces weekly. I think I am going to start pray partners for our ministry and think that it will great. This weekend we are doing a middle school cookout at the church. I am excited about it. A chance to be relational and just walk, talk with kids and hang out with kids.
