What would you say?

Crossroads just celebrated it’s 2nd anniversary and we had a great time Wednesday night.

I’ve heard a lot said about what has happened in the lives of people over the last two years.

If you could say anything about Crossroads what would you say?

“Useless Friday Info”

Let’s not waste any time today and get right down to facts……just the facts!

Here’ is the week’s editiion of “Useless Friday Info”.

“Each year some seven million tons of green beans are produced world wide, most of which are hand picked”

“Walt Disney got his idea for Mickey Mouse while watching mice play on night in a garage”

“Germany is the world’s largest consumer of coffee in terms of volume, at 16 pounds per person”

“It takes glass one million years to decompose, which means it can be recycled an infinite amount of times”

“China produces about 70 percent of the world’s silk supply”

“Disneyland and Walt Disney World amusement parks are in counties with the same name.  Both are located in Orange County….one in California and the other in Florida”

“Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America”

“Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.  If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster”

“Peel a banana from the bottom and you will not have to pick the little ’stringy things’ off of it”

Celebrating 2 years (part 1)

It’s really hard for me to believe that on Wednesday night we celebrated our second anniversary. It actually seems like its been just a few months…..how time flies when you’re having fun! Really!

The past two years have been a great time for the people that God brought together around an amazing vision. It’s been an amazing time but it hasn’t always been easy.

One of the things that stands out so clearly to me was the day that I knew perfectly clear that God was calling me to lead a new church. I immediately said, “I can’t do that…..I’m not qualified.” But God doesn’t give up as easily as we do. He just kept on ringing my bell until I finally realized that this was something that I didn’t want to miss out on.

Think about all the times in your life that you’ve had God calling you to do something. How many times did you feel that you weren’t qualified or they’re was some sin in your past that would keep you from moving ahead? We’ve all been there and for many of us, it’s things like this that stop us from followingGod to the place he wants to take us.

Crossroads is an amazing church full of amazing people. Over the next few days I am going to try and share with you some of my journey. It’s been amazing!

I’d love to hear how God has used Crossroads in your life?
