Why's he 'still' on stage? The music is over...

Sunday was a unique day, and it all went pretty cool. Steven Sims played guitar with us, and it was very nice to have an 'acoustic-driven' set for the morning. It brought flashbacks of jamming with Mark DeLoach or Ben Gallaway in the old days of Exodus/Axcess at Mountaintop, but it wound up being far more powerful because of Steven and Eli's vocal talent and the 'freshness' of the experience.

I also delivered the message Sunday morning. (I know what you're thinking: supwifdat?). But that wound up going pretty smoothly too. I didn't boob it up with moments of nervousness that have plagued me in the past, and I managed to fill the entire time slot.

Our crowd was a bit down, but there were a number of people there to hear Steven play, and they added a bit of energy to the room. We need to do this kind of thing - Steven willing - more oftn.

After church, we headed to Applebee's, where the food was mediocre and the service was even less so, but we still had a pretty good time.

Sunday night, we had our first-ever baptism for Crosspoint at Dave's pool. Joel and Chastity Bates got baptized, and they seemed pretty excited about it. We also spent time swimming, grilling hot dogs, and behaving with general stupidity (which always happens at pool parties).
