theMill and more

Just got back from New Life's young adults group. Enjoyed it. They've got to be one of the largest young adults groups in the country. Not too many differences between theMill and Seven other than attendance, for now. They go about twice as long as we do but it's a little different feel so it seems to reach their audience just fine. Worship about 6 songs and 45 minutes. Message about 20 Scripture passages and an hour long. I like Aaron's style...easy delivery easy to receive. He reads Scriptures from his cell phone...it worked. Seeing them in their room actually made me look forward to us getting into ours. Atmosphere is huge. I have spent the last 6 months since we have been down in the sanctuary convincing myself that atmosphere really doesn't matter...wrong, for this generation it completely matters. I really wasn't there to critique, just wanted to maybe learn something and be inspired. After their service I am. They do a lot of great stuff and will no doubt continue to reach many of my generation in this area. I'll be praying for them.

Miss my wife, miss my kids. It's been great studying today. Spent about 4 hours at Panera studying...had a blast, got on a roll.

Got some great one-liners for the series in 6 weeks. Lot of great scripture. Can't wait for this one.
