Worked 2 days in bed to prepare this weekends message only to have it flipped on me. Ended up in ER with complications from the big V last week. After our announcement, I so need and want to see my New Hope family as I missed last weekend too.

I was so on no matter what this weekend, even if I had to go to the ER afterwards and show video Sunday, but it absolutely was killing me to the point of dizziness. Pain meds are my only help outside of much prayer right now.

1 simple request: I will be preparing to teach Christmas Eve and will do it at all costs. It will take an army to keep me out of there. Please pray this thing heals up over the weekend.

With all of the ministry that happens on Christmas Eve and the salvation’s and touch of God that will happen, please stop and pray that I will be ready to go. God will use this for HIS honor and glory. HE knows what is best and a huge shout out to Pastor Tim for stepping in at the last minute. Quick thought: Me teaching on narcotic pain meds would be a freakin’ trip though.

I have the most killer thing planned that God laid on my heart for Christmas Eve and I can’t wait…thanks for the prayers! Now…get out there and invite everyone you know to whatever campus you come too! Let’s rock all our campuses to the core this Christmas Eve…this my friend is what CHRISTmas is all about. Put your parties on hold, and help start a party in heaven.
