If you knew me you would know why it’s called the Mindless Dump:)

1. I really thought we would drop below a 1000 in attendance in the Multi Site Campuses this weekend because of Thanksgiving, we didn’t, and haven’t in over two months. Love that people are connecting and making these campuses “their church.”

2. Had a fantastic Thanksgiving hanging with Pastor Loui Canchola and his family. Friday I got to attend his sisters wedding where she married his worship pastor. How cool is that. Oh yea she’s his media director too! There are no words that could do justice to what Loui means to me!!!! He’s a freak of nature good  friend who speaks truth into my life. Thanks bro!

3. Pastor Dave and I are leaving Thursday for Colorado to learn more from a company called Philanthracorp! Thankful to Jim Tomberlin with Third Quarter Consulting for that invitation!

4. Looking forward to hanging with Dan Blankenship who is one of Chris Pinions guys from Life Quest Church in Kansas City MO. They are going MS as we speak and Dan is coming to hang with us for a few days. Love it when we can help other churches!

5. Opening Hotel Atkinson to some awesome pastors next Monday who will be in town for Pastor Bil’s mentoring group. April and I will be hosting Loui Canchola, Sr Pastor of Cornerstone Church  in McAllen Texas, Brett Crimmel, Sr Pastor of Forefront Church in Littleton Colorado, Michael Robison, Sr Pastor of Grace Church in Kingsport TN. Really honored to be able to open our home to this amazing group of leaders.

6. Really proud of the Multi Site team for the hard work and commitment they have shown throughout this year! Such an amazing group of leaders. I am truly blessed to have each of them.

7. I am in the process of losing 40lbs so I can finally after 20 years of pain, get the surgery I have needed for so long. I’m beyond thankful God as put me in the hands of Dr Gib Meadows at the South Texas Spine Clinic in San Antonio. Amazing to see how God closed so many doors leading me to this man. Please pray for the weight loss, I’m working really hard at it. So good to feel hope for the first time in a long time with my back.

8. Better run because all my MS peeps are starting to walk in for our weekly MS Staff Meeting. What are you thankful for?
