The day started at 7 AM with a meeting of some great guys! Our pastors meet with a group of leaders and potential leaders at LifeBridge every other Sunday morning. These guys, all six of them, get it! They have bought into the vision to reach the unchurched and to reach the next generation. They are willing learners, involved participants, and men of God! They encourage me!
The music was so good today and the praise ascended! Our worship band has never been better! When Wade played taps, as two men carried the American and Christian flags up the aisle, I felt a huge sense of gratitude for those who have given so much to give us the freedom we enjoy today! I love America!
The sermon hit a nerve... God's Word always hits home. I am thankful God allows me to preach! The reaction to the message surprised me just a little bit. I shared 5 things we need to do as we make decisions... all 5 were simple basics. However, judging from the reaction, it was like some were hearing it for the first time. My prayer is that those 5 things will stick and we will make them a part of our lives! Check out the sermon, which will be posted in a couple of days at our website.
I met more new people today at church! God is doing something bigger than us!
I conducted a wedding ceremony today at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD. It was one of those fun life experiences! I have been involved in many weddings, but never in a baseball stadium! The weather was perfect, sunny and 75 degrees. The stadium is absolutely beautiful! Cal Ripken, Jr. did a good thing when he went back to his hometown and built this place! They are building several little league ballfields around the stadium and patterning them after major league ballparks! Fantastic idea! I never thought I would hear my voice over a ball park sound system, but I did today!
Another 20 something became a Christ follower today at the service! Let's reach the next generation LifeBridge!!!
Somebody talk to me this week on this blog! I have gotten several comments, but there are many more people reading this stuff and not saying anything! I know that because I get the statistics!!! Come on and speak up!!!! HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?!!!
Hey Brother I do enjoy reading your blog. You do a great job as in everything you do. God has blessed you with real talent. Had a great weekend in Va with a different Church service. Our God is big and reaching all people. Keep up the Good work!

Hey Mike, I've said before that LifeBridge has always done a wonderful job showing respect to those who have served and are serving in Our Military however, on Sunday I saw LifeBridge take it a step further and by playing Taps this year I think it showed the respect for the true 'military heroes', those who gave their lives for all of us. Thanks for listening to whoever God gave this idea to.

It sounds like I missed a good one. Frank and I were away. I praise God we were able to get away to the beach but as always when I am not there I miss it. It is amazing that after all the years I have been under your teachings, and some on the same subjects, that God continues to reveal new lessons to me. I will be sure to get Sundays message and listen to it. By the way who would i get that from?:) I know the Britt family loves and appreciates our church family!!
