Today was a great day hanging out with the wife and then with the family for “Family Night” Monday’s are usually a date day with my gorgeous wife as we drop off the kiddos for school, get a Starbucks coffee and then just hang out sometimes with no agenda! Obviously our main subject most of the time is talking about the church or what the previous weekend brought. The Moreno’s are getting geared up for a camping trip at the end of this weekend for spring break, and we can’t wait. We’re going to hang out with some cool peeps and campfire it up baby! We’ve been looking forward to this trip for some time! My kids are pumped! Tonight we just hung out as a family cooked some burgers, made a fire outside, and danced to Dave Barnes music! ☺ love me some Dave Barnes music!

Well this past weekend was incredible at Journey Church and a full day at that! We’ve continued to grow in our attendance every weekend and it’s been so encouraging! The worship has climbed another level as we are making adjustments, improvements, and tweaking everything we’re doing on the weekend services. We had a good many visitors attend and went on to join us for Starting Point that evening where we had to figure out where to put over 40 people in our house for a meeting! (wasn’t easy!) But these kind of meetings give me so much fuel! I absolutely look forward to these times because I hear so many stories of people that are looking to find a home church or a place that they can just be who they are and not feel pressured or looked upon in any kind of way other than valued. This stuff never gets old! These are families that have so much to offer the kingdom of God and sometimes only need a gentle encouragement of how valuable they are to a loving God! And, that they have a calling upon their lives to do something BIG for the Kingdom. There’s no higher joy for me than that! I absolutely LOVE what I do!

At Journey Church this weekend, we will launch a new series entitled “Baggage”. This is going to be a fantastic series for Journey as I pray that it’s impact will be the same as it was when done in Birmingham, AL at Church of the Highlands. I strongly believe that many of us carry along baggage that we are oblivious to (hidden), sometimes baggage that we don’t want to let go (securities). Every one of us carries some sort of baggage in our lives that we need to simply let loose of or get rid of. Join us at Journey Church this weekend for this series… it’s going to be great!
