Manic Monday Minute is a serious mind-dump that will probably take you one minute to read. Here are some thoughts going through my head right now...
This is the Manic Monday Minute Can't wait to show you the little music video our staff put together this past week. We shot the vid in about 30 minutes... but its funny and promotes our next series, "You Gotta Have Faith," that starts this weekend. Verrry busy weekend. Helped raise nearly $1,000 towards our mission goal this weekend. We still have a little ways to go if you'd like to help put us over the top. Contact me if you'd like to contribute. We had a baptism service on Sunday afternoon. The service went great and we were enjoying a picnic lunch that was interrupted by a BIG scare... A 2 year old in our church family had a seizure and stopped breathing. Fortunately one of our friends - who is a nurse - was able to perform CPR and literally saved his life! We saw God work a miracle before our eyes. He is back at home and seems to be doing well now. Speaking of miracles, I need one with my car. My mechanic called me earlier this evening and told me that it is officially dead. It needs a new motor or I need a new car. Urrgh. Michael Jackson's death came as a shock to me. I knew he was in poor health but never expected his passing. Been watching the news coverage, lots of tribute videos, and listening to my favorite MJ songs all weekend long. I'm craving seafood right now. Shrimp specifically. Perhaps its because a friend just invited me to a party where he'll be serving seafood? Transformers was a great movie; however, 2.5 hours long with 2.0 hours of action is a little much for me. A person needs a mental break! Had a great time lunching with the staff of Waters Edge today. Loved hearing their story. This guy, who is their youth pastor, has a great review of Transformers. Just joined a blog tour this past week. I'll let you know whose book I'll be reviewing later this week on twitter. I had some wings earlier tonight with one of my students. I love me some chicken wings. Discovered that one of the ladies in my church was friends with my mentor's wife in the midwest years ago. More and more I think we are all connected in this world. It truly is small. Its unanimous. Everyone loves the new hair-do. Someone twittered that they added 20 IQ points to me now after seeing this pic. Woah. Looking forward to sharing some interviews I've done recently here on the blog. I'm currently contemplating 3 different things that could help youth workers everywhere. Still very early in the brainstorming stages. Looking forward to conferences this fall but Kem Meyer made me want to register for Innovate after checking this post. My very good friend, ChurchyDave, is on a journey cross-country and will be blogging his adventure this week. He departs from Los Angeles, CA tomorrow and will arrive back in Va Beach, VA this weekend. Wish I could have made the trip with him. Gearing up to speak 6 different messages to students next week. Say a prayer! You can now donate to my ministry on this site - click the donate button in the right sidebar. I've fallen off the soda-wagon. I plan to cut them out... seriously I do. I just got the p90x program. I'm going to give it a shot. It may kill me. Crawford out!
