• The “He Said. She Said.” series has been really cool.  I find myself sitting next to Melissa during the messages and nudging her and being nudged.  HA!  But it has for sure been challenging us to grow in our relationship together.
• Andy’s message was spot on.  He reminded us that this message was not anything new…it’s what we already know and have heard.  But the difference between marriage and divorce is hearing and doing.
• We played “Never Say Never” by The Fray and I played piano on it again and that was a lot of fun.  We put the piano up on a riser and it was a cool and different look.
• The band was super solid!
• The tech team was super solid!
• The Superbowl party was AWESOME!  But more on that later…

1. Melissa is 5 weeks away from our due date of meeting our little princess.  I think she may be late.  You never know with these things, but her whole family has been late on due dates so that’s going to be my guess.  Either way, I can’t wait to meet our beautiful little girl.
2. Our last baby shower is tomorrow.  Melissa’s mom is throwing it for family and people from our old church, Kennesaw First Baptist.  We’ve got SOOO much baby stuff.  It’s amazing being this blessed by so many people who care about you.  We love you and thank you all.
3. Melissa’s dad didn’t want to be stuck at the house during a baby shower so he invited me to an Atlanta Thrashers game.  I’m getting stoked about that.  I haven’t been to one in over a year.  That’s one sport that I really enjoy going to see live.
4. I’ve been replacing alot of my gear here lately.  One HUGE project is that I sold alot of my pedals and bought the ones I’d actually use.  I’m waiting on one pedal to get back from being repaired, but when it does I’ll post a blog about my new electric pedalboard.  And maybe one about my existing acoustic pedalboard as well.  Another thing I’ve ordered and should receive around the end of February are some Fidelity Custom mold triple driver in-ears.  I’m really excited about these improving the sound of the band in my ears so I can focus more on leading people into worship than trying to hear the right things in my ears.  (only a musician may understand that statement.  it’s just that as a musician, you want to be able to hear things clearly and evenly in your ears.  if you can’t, you’re distracted.)
5. We filed our taxes on Monday and should be getting our refund in a few weeks.  I think we’ve decided to put some in savings and to spend some on the remaining items needed for our little baby girl.  Again, I simply cannot wait to meet her!!!

• Part 2 of He Said She Said was awesome!
• Shannon Karafanda spoke from the female perspective and NAILED it.  Shannon is from Lighthouse Church in Tyrone, GA.  They are also a church plant that’s 3 years old.  Listen to her message on our media page by clicking here.
• We had some crazy elements in the service today.
• For starters, we opened up the service with “Open Arms” by Journey.  Man, Steve Perry sings really high.  I got through it though.
• Shannon had 2 video clips during her message; a clip from Pepe Le Pew and a clip from the movie “Enchanted”.
• The place was packed.  I’ve received many compliments from people about how Andy and I never talk about numbers like some other pastors do.  However, I will say that Sunday was the highest attendance we’ve ever had.  It’s so exciting to see the church reaching out and people coming thirsty for Christ.
• This series is awesome.  It’s already affecting marriages in a huge way.  I know that Melissa and I are finding it useful.

• Kicked off the “He Said. She Said.” marriage series with a Keith Urban tune.  I have a newfound love for playing country songs.  That was such a fun song to play.
• The band killed it.  They sounded phenomenal.
• Andy was dead on!
• I had a cool moment with Melissa when we got home where she asked me questions that Andy brought up in his message.
• I love having a wife who loves Christ and cares so much about our marriage that she’s always willing to improve it.  I love you, Melissa!
• Melissa was also back on tech but for only a fill in.  I didn’t really want her to have to be up there being that she’s 6 weeks away from having our little girl, but she did a great job!
• This series is going to be really unique in the fact that Andy spoke the first one and will speak on the 3rd one.  For week 2 and 4 we’ll have the female perspective coming from Shannon Karafanda.
• This series is going to transform some marriages in our church.  I’m pumped about seeing what God does!

How do two people become one? What do we do when your spouse looks more like the proverbial “ball and chain” and less like the “apple of your eye”. Join us at The Well for this unique message series where we look at the biblical concept of marriage from both the male and the female perspective. We will explore what to do in the midst of the difficulties that often come in a marriage and how we can be more faithful to the biblical understanding of what marriage is all about.

Week 1: What does it take? (male perspective)
Week 2: What does it take? (female perspective)
Week 3: Why is it so hard? (male perspective)
Week 4: Why is it so hard? (female perspective)

• Sunday was incredible!
• We opened up the morning with “Bring Me to Life.”  I loved this song back when it came out, but it fit the message great.
• Message was up front because we had a ton going on.
• We got to see God glorified through baptisms, people reaffirming their faith, professions of faith, and a bunch of people joining the church.  It was amazing.
• Worship was at the end of the service.  I love when we get to do this.  The message, baptizing, and all the excitement really prepared our hearts for worship.
• EVERYONE was really into the worship.  I love that as a worship leader because I get to see a body of Christ lifting their voices to their King.
• “Awakening” was a great series.  One most churches should probably hear.
• Looking forward to starting our marriage series on Sunday, “He Said. She Said.”

• I’m really digging this “Awakening” series.  Unfortunately it ends next week, but I think it’s been really huge for our church.
• Andy told me this morning about 3 separate families who intentionally listen to the message online if they miss a week.  That’s so awesome to me. By the way, if you do miss a week and want to hear the message, I edit and upload them by Monday afternoon and you can listen to them by clicking HERE.
• One of those families in particular has been listening online for months but never came to the church until this Sunday.  That’s technology being used to bring people to God right there!
• Getting pretty pumped about the next series.  It will be a series on marriage called “He Said. She Said.”
