Youth Conference in Dallas

I spent most of last week in Dallas doing a youth conference for Jeremy and Amy Mount.  They are the youth pastors of C5 at Calvary A/G with J. Don George.  Their youth group is amazing!  They treated Pam & I so wonderfully and are blowing it uo in Dallas.  Hey, I heard Akin Ayodele was in church last week .... very cool.  Here's a couple of fun things I learned:

1. Dallas

   , to a Cowboys fan, is pure heaven.
2. Okay, airport people need to learn phone etiquette!  Why do people SHOUT when they are on the phone!!??  Nobody cares what bagel you are eating when you’re in

   Baltimore

   and the person you’re YELLING at is in

   Detroit

   !!!
3. Amy Mount can multi-task.  She can drive the

   Pacifica

   , answer the phone with one hand, safeguard her double-tall-skinny caramel macchiato, while keeping her purse securely on her lap … amazing to witness.
4. Taco Bueno is just plain good taco’s!

5. Texas

   is real big.
6. Southwestern plane seats are too small.
7. Starbucks “city mugs” are my newest “collector series” when I visit big cities.
8. Riding on roads around

   Dallas

   are similar to riding on a roller coaster … up – down, up - down.
9. There are NO STARBUCKS in the

   Birmingham

   airport – tragedy of tragedies.
10. Middle school kids in

    Dallas

    are just like kids everywhere else.  They have a funky odor.

We loved our time with these precious leaders.  Rock on Jeremy!!!  (Jusitn Timberlake admirer)

First Night in Dallas

I am a TRUE SILVER AND BLUE Dallas Cowboy fan. You can imagine my joy being in the "Big D." Landed last night and we went to a Mavericks game (we beat the Clippers). Saw my boy Dirk, on the bench :-(

This morning we got up early and went over to the new Cowboy stadium. We swung by Valley Ranch (our practice field) and then took the rest of the afternoon to prepare for the yuth conference.

The room was packed with 100's of teenagers. When their worship leader (who they all Pastor Elmo) hit the stage, man he lit it up! So talented and so humble. I watched how all these volunteers from techie people to prayer warriors were doing their thing. All serving God.

I preached out of Joshua/ I did my best to drive home the point, "You'll never know how great God is until you give Him a chance." Great response at the altar call.

Tomorrow night is an evening speaking to leaders. I;m amp'd about it!
