Speaking, Eating, and Flaming Spears

Today was a fun day all around. This morning I had the privilege of speaking at Marathon Church in Powdersville. All three services were full of energy and it was it felt good to be a part of what is going on in the new series. If you weren't there, you can check it our here http://marathonchurch.org. The message will probably be up on the web site in a couple of days. The band did an awesome job with the U2 song. Chase tore it up with his mad video editing skills. Props to him on that. A very special thanks is in order for Bryan "Hasselhof" Holder. That water had to be cold, now if I can only get him to walk on hot coals.

After church I had to jet over to Outback Steakhouse where Gary and his staff held a benefit dinner for Isaac's COTA fund. If you are in Easley, you need to stop by and eat there. These are some of the finest folks you will ever meet. Thanks to Gary and all the staff for making that event possible. Also, I want to say a big thanks to everyone who bought tickets. You guys mean a ton to Isaac, Melissa, and I.

And lastly, tonight we had home group and as always it was a blast. Literally, it was a blast. We have kind of made it a point that we light some type of pyrotechnics and tonight was no exception. I had promised our home group that tonight we would have flaming spears and sure enough we did. We created a new "game" that involved catching flaming spears. The most catches in a row was three. It was all fun and games until Bryan lost his arm and leg hair. Jamie and I couldn't help it that he has no vertical leap when it comes to jumping the fire. Seriously though aside from the pyro frivolity we have been actually going through the book of James. It has been quite insightful and next week we are moving on to the parable of the talents.

That's about all I have for tonight. I am fixing to go to bed after a long day.
