A couple weeks ago, Mindy started a job working for the security agency that's in charge of the security for the Oscars. It's really impressive when she walks around with her massive, over sized badge that has a little picture of her with the massive letters "SECURITY OFFICER" blazing across the bottom. But Mindy will actually be up at the Kodak theater (or at least a parking lot next door) this Sunday, so it should be an interesting night.
Not much else to update right now. We're continuing to meet together, and things are rolling along pretty good. We've had new people show up, and we're getting closer and closer to having to meet somewhere other than a living room.
It's hard to not play the numbers game at this point. I've really come to believe that one of the biggest plagues infecting the church planting movement right now is the numbers game. It seems the only way to validate yourself as a new church is by having 100 plus people showing up on Sunday and becoming self supported through them. It absolutely drives me crazy, and yet every day I struggle to not cave in to the temptation to just invite people to a program on Sunday.
I'd rather see lives changed, and if you were to ask any of the people who are in our little church, you'd here some incredible stories about changed lives. So that's what we're laboring in right now.
We still haven't come up with a church name yet. I'm kind of anti-name right now. I'm thinking Community Community Church or C3 for short. We really just need a name to get us by for the time being so we can incorporate and get the much needed tax exempt status.
By the way, I'm picking my beloved Astros to run away with the NL Central this year for anyone who's keeping tabs.
