Last night, we hosted TeamXtreme out on the deck at our church. This pic is of me ripping a phone book in half. Too bad God's called me to pastor or I'd join these guys on the road. Bubba and Bram did an excellent job of breaking and bending stuff, hurling students across the stage, and sharing some jaw-dropping testimonies.
Here's the highlights:
- The looks everyone gave Bubba and Bram as they walked in the church last night. It was priceless to watch our church peps try really hard not to stare at those guys.
- 8 years of youth ministry, and I finally had an outdoor service. The weather was perfect, the deck didn't collapse, and we only saw one snake.
- Ronnin and Laura getting soaked by cans of diet 7up that Bubba broke over his head.
- Bram sharing with me in near tears how 5 years earlier his life was totally changed at our church. We "caught" him on his face praying before the service. Dude really is tough!!!
- Reading Andrew Burr's tweets during our service about God jacking up students in their service in TX last night.
- Me ripping a phone book in half with a little help from Bubba. Jace was so proud of his papa!
- My new friend, who watched us from his back door, then got out a lawn chair and watched from his yard, and at the end coming over and joining us.
- Finding out that those guys can eat xtreme as well. There's probably a shortage of wings in the midwest today.
- Oh yeah, students responding to (re) dedicate their lives to Christ!!!
