Not much happening round here today… I DID finally beat that stinkin board on Worms Armageddon…. now the game is losing my interest pretty quick… it has been conquered and is no longer invading my mind and taunting me.

Today I went to a staff dinner at CedarCreek where they presented our projected plans to us for phase 2 of our building.  It’s pretty crazy-go-nuts.  I’m psyched about it though.  A 350 seat chapel, 3,000 seat auditorium, possibly an outreach center with a single-mom’s care care clinic, three gymnasiums/multi-purpose rooms, more classrooms, and over 25 acres of PARKING!  YEESH!

It’s really cool seeing what happens when God moves in such power in the lives of this church.  Just 7 years ago CedarCreek consisted of 20 people… Now it’s hard to fit 4,000 in there!  And hearing countless story after story of how people at CedarCreek have helped others… how they’ve loved each other… how they’ve supported each other… Man… I am the luckiest 20-year old college student to be on staff in the multimedia department of a church that is truly experiencing a pretty dang close representation of Acts chapter two…

I was looking back at our stats over the past 7 years and saw that we grew over 1,000 people in attendance from 1999-2000.  That blows my mind… It’s not about the numbers for the sake of numbers… rather it’s knowing that each number is a person.  A person who MATTERS TO GOD!  And if we have just the smallest chance to impact their life for the better… it’s all worth it.  From the 60-70 people baptism services to the 1,200 people worshipping at New Community services… God has blessed my life so richly for letting me not only be a part of CedarCreek… but to get paid for doing so.  I am such a moron and don’t deserve this honor…

Ok.. well, on that note, after having randomly gotten in a good mood… I’m gonna go spend time with the big G and then get to sleep!
