This was a killer lunch for a Tuesday!

Broasted chicken, green beans, mac & cheese, okra, corn bread, sweet tea!

Dude! It’s great to live in the South!

(Oh, by the way…..I had coconut pie for desert!!!!)

I am so loving this week!

For the first time in four weeks I have actually been back on somewhat of a regular schedule.  Just in case you didn’t know, my mom was in the hospital almost two weeks and you probably know what that means….spending all your time sitting around doing absolutely nothing waiting for someone to get to feeling better.  Talk about a helpless feeling!

Then the last two weeks I left to go out of town just after our Sunday services at Crossroads.  Each of those weeks I was gone for about half of the week.

Man…..it’s great to be back on a regular schedule.

If you are a mother who regularly attends Crossroads and you didn’t make it on Mother’s Day, then below is a little sample of just one of the things that you missed!!!

These babies were everywhere on Sunday…….they were so big I thought they must have been on steroids as baby strawberries!

Mother’s day at Crossroads was just like I told you it was going to be……CRAZY!

It was great to see such a big crowd. I really thought we might loose a few people since some of you like to go to church with your mom on this special day. But believe it or not we pretty well blew the doors out. Now you just gotta make sure you are here for “Father’s Day” so that you don’t miss out on anything. You can never tell what’s gonna happen around our place.

Here’s a few of my observations from Sunday.

• People actually got to the services early….for a change
• I love watching people have a good time with each other
• Lot’s of new faces…..lots!
• Mom’s loving on their kids……
• Kids loving on their moms…..
• Just great seeing grown men bringing their mom to church with them
• Stefani Butler leaves for Cambodia on a medical mission trip….keep her in your prayers
• Mike and the band did a great job!
• Thanks again to our volunteers….!!!
• Thanks to the Norvells!!!
• Thanks to Robin Elks for her help!

Ok…..I will get back here a little later and I hope all you mom’s have a great week!

It’s “Mother’s Day” at Crossroads and let me tell you that you do not want to miss it.

Get to the services a little early and stay a little late so you can take advantage of all that we have planned.

See you at Crossroads!

So you want to at least try to keep up with all that’s happening around Crossroads because you are one of those people who always arrives about 10 minutes after the service has started and you always miss the announcements.

Well if that’s you then you need to listen to CrossWave!

CrossWave is our news and information podcast and it’s fresh and new every week!

This Sunday is the intro to our new series “Higher.”

During this upcoming series we are going to learn about all the great things that God has in store for us individually and as a church.  You will not want to miss one Sunday of this amazing, exciting and revealing series.

Buckle up!  It’s gonna be one heck of a ride!

Friends, Romans and Countryman…!!!!  Once again it’s time for “Useless Friday Info!”

So let’s get this party started!!!!!!!!

“The first advertisement to discuss body odor was a 1919 ad for the deodorant Odo-Ro-No.”

“The first credit card, issued in 1950, was Diner’s Club.”

“To the hilt: meaning all the way!”  A hilt is a handle of a sword or dagger.  When you stab as far as you can, it’s “to the hilt.”

The first Corvette rolled off the Chevrolet assembly line in Flint, MI. in 1953.  That early ‘Vette sold for $3,250.

And finally….

“Pound for pound, grasshoppers are 3 times as nutritious as beef!”  (get some for your mother for mothers day!)

As you can see, they took the short bus!

Don’t they look so sweet????

Looking all sophisticated for the camera!

This past Sunday evening was “Ladies Night” at Crossroads.

While I was on my way to Atlanta, a large group of our ladies were on their way to the Spaghetti Factory in Nashville for a little food and fun.

It’s my understanding that this was a really great night! Based on what I’ve heard so far it seems to have been as emotional as our morning service on Sunday!

Ladies do you have any stories???? I would love to hear some!  Leave them in the comments section.

If you need more details then just ask any of the ladies who attended and I think they will agree…………..
