First Day of Beach Retreat

Its 12:45AM and I'm typing this in the rental van...
You ask why?
Well....we are short on beds.  We arrive here at 5 to find out that we have 40something beds for 57 youth and adults and a band....
They are way overbooked...we are sharing worship times with another large group.  Some people from another church are staying on the floor of the worship center. And there are three youth pastors sleeping in a van!  There are also youth sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor.  I'm so thankful that some of them brought sleeping bags.   And the coolest part about it is that none of the youth are complaining!
But worship was great tonight, even though we didn't have a sound check.  I spoke tonight and things went well.
We then had dinner at 9PM at McDonald's and then just hung out. 
Satan is trying really hard to stop this weekend, but there are many lives to be changed. 
We just ask that you pray for our groups and for this weekend.

Third Day new CD and on Leno

Today Third Day's new CD Revelation came out and tonight they were on Late Night With Jay Leno.

First the CD is amazing....my new favorite CD!  So many songs that just really get you...but at the same time ROCK out and worship.  I will have a more in depth blog about it sometime in the next week.

But just wanted to point out their apperance on Leno.   They had  a real act to follow.  Seth Rogan was the main guest and was just trash...and then the Joan Allen came on and the conversation was just out there to say the least...And then Third Day came out and ROCKED "Call my Name". 
Mark Lee(Lead guitarist for Third Day)  put up on his facebook and twitter "the other guests on the show tonight really drive home the idea of us being salt and light, don't they :)"
It was an amazing witness to everyone who tuned in Leno tonight....you had two guest talk about pot, making fun of a DUI crash, masterbation, and much more....and then Third Day comes out and sings about about Calling out for God's Name in times of trouble.  HOW AMAZING!  Just another time I'm reminded how we need to witness to the sick and sinners.   There will be many critics, i've already seen some Third Day fans second guess them being on Leno...But that is exactly what God wants us to do.  He wants us to be the Salt and Light to this Sin-filled world.   I pray that those who do not know God...saw Third Day tonight and saw a new face of Christ or maybe even Christ for the first time.  I pray that tonight's performance will reach the lost.
AMEN!

Today I had the chance to talk with Joel of Four Days Late.  We are looking on bringing them back to Charlotte sometime real soon.  It was great to catch up with them and hear all the awesome things that is going on in their lives and what God is doing.
