+ Feeling more shot than normal this evening – probably because I preached longer than usual at both campuses!

+ It was 32 when I left home this morning and the sick thing is, I thought it was warm. Shows how bad this winter has been.

+ Baptism classes at both locations today. Looking forward to Celebration Sunday in Mastic and Ronkonkoma on March 7th.

+ Just discovered daylight savings starts on March 14th. That’s something to look forward to.

+ Thoroughly enjoyed the morning from start to finish.

+ Good crowd at both locations. Ronkonkoma looked bigger than last week but wasn’t quite. Met several new folks there – some good people.

+ Was on the 6th commandment – No murder – and had just made a few points about its obvious literal meaning when I instinctively killed a moth that flew in front of me. Hilarious moment you had to be there to really enjoy. Guess you shouldn’t tell people not to kill and then swat a bug.

+ I enjoy the  drive over to the Mastic campus as it gives me the chance to mentally adjust the teaching and fine tune it for the second round.

+ Theater continues to be in a pretty disgusting state, but it was a full service and a good one. Our folks do a great job of making the areas we use suitable for our purposes and a reflection of who we are.

+ Michelle Margiotta led worship over there – www.michellemargiotta.com – she does that so well and has been a real blessing to us over the past six months.

+ Drank a lot of coffee this morning. So glad we have it on hand. Preachers need the help of the Holy spiriit and moderate amounts of caffeine too.

+ A lot of people took up my recommendation to visit the Celebrate Recovery tables today and start to get help dealing wiith the hurts that have left them with anger issues.

+ I pulled away from the Mastic theater grateful to God for the privilege of doing what I get to do.
