Weekend Review 9/22/08

• Wow......what a week in the financial world last week!  Unparalled.  This is how close we came to things coming completely unhinged.  ALMOST ARMAGEDDON - New York Post
• Pastor Craig did a GREAT job Sunday am at the RAVE service.  Talked about the above and brought in Jeremiah, who had REST in the midst of outer turmoil in his day.  Listen to it here: www.harvestpensacola.com
• Our #'s just keep increasing at our RAVE service.  The number of kids in KidsChurch (1st to 5th) has literally doubled over the past 3 weeks. 
• Harvest Norfolk is cranking!  www.harvestnorfolk.com Brian Weaver spoke yesterday morning and the place was buzzing.  As he said, "What a CHANGE in just 3 months!"  Great stuff...
• Freddie Thronson knocked it out of the park at our Harvest @ 5 service.  I loved the way he used his laptop up there and the seemless way he tied everything together on "Receiving Correction" in your life.  You were one BAD dude, Freddie~~!! Glad Jesus came into you bro..! :)
• Deb and I got away to use our 1 year 'trial' timeshare in Destin.  It was really nice, but at this point, dont think I will do it when the year is up.  Too complicated to make reservations.
• Saw a movie I honestly cant remember the name of, with a British guy in it as a Dentist.  I fell asleep for about 20 minutes of it, but do remember some real crass stuff for a PG13 movie.  Lots of 'f' bomb, for no reason.  PG 13 is not what it used to be.  I do NOT recommend it, whatever it is called...! :)
• Baptisms last night were precious and special!  I love seeing kids get baptized, and we sure had some making a PUBLIC declaration of their faith last night!
• Hmmmmm.......anything else buzzing around.......I have lost 10 lbs!! Working on another 10 by Dec 31st.  Funny/painful moment last night:  I came into the auditorium and was meeting new people.  Met 2 girls new, real sweet.  One says, "Wow.....you look really different than you did this morning from the seats way up in the theater!"  I respond, "Really?? How is that....  like OLDER??"  She:  "Yeah.......uh....older!"   
• Ah, the joys of aging...!! :)

Grace,

PB

If ever there was a need for a Jeremiah to America it is now. Glad Craig was able to come down and speak into Harvest. We are about to undergo a great testing and faith is the only way to surmount the waves of anxiety and worry that are stirring in the gulf of our lives.
