Well, the Ignite Weekend @ 2springs has come and gone...but Gods fingerprints are all over the hearts of His people and His church. We saw surrendrance, repentance, obedience, rededication, and salvation this weekend. Wow
I'm gonna use todays blog to brag on some people...
JESUS- once again, blew us away. The whole weekend was His. We talked about Him, prayed to Him, sang about Him, Preached about Him, fellowshipped in Him....well you get the idea....we made much of Him....and He "Showed up and showed out".
John & Ashley Welborn - Pastors, many of you read this blog so please hear the three words I wholeheartedly share with you...USE THESE GUYS! John passionately preached the Gospel and helped our church and Ashley led us to encounter God using her gifts for His Kingdom purposes.
I know that many churches...sadly I might add, are not using Evangelist for various reasons. I wont get into that to deeply here, but I will say...Double Springs is a stronger church today because of how God used His evangelist here. I mean that with every fiber within me. USE GOD HONORING EVANGELIST!
Paul Holcombe - Paul spoke to our students Saturday night with an incredible response. Competing with the thought that pizza was next, with a late night, and with distractions that come with Students...Paul brought the Word of God...and kids responded. Nuff said!
Slade Alday - Is the man. Battling the flu, Slade gutted it out (without Danielle, whom e affectionately gave the flu to) and led us in Worship Saturday evening. "Amazing Grace" gripped me like never before! I say often, and will continue to say...Slade Alday is the most gifted Worship leader I've ever known and I am blessed to call him a friend.
Eighth Day - was in concert with us Sunday evening. To be honest, I am careful about having groups in my church because I have been burned. There was no doubt that these guys are the real deal. They did exactly what we ask and did it well. They are ministry minded people, very professional in appearance and craft. Our people were raving about them and I look forward to having them back at 2springs!
2springs people & staff - You are the BEST! You guys worked so hard to make this weekend a success and I am honored to be your Pastor. I love you guys SO much, appreciate your passion for making Jesus famous, you incredibly generous spirit, and look forward to all God has for us. I really do believe 2springs is the greatest church in the world!
Cant wait for whats next.
Soli Deo Gloria - Pastor Kyle

Lets keep it .........
Obvious - if ya know me at all, you know i am a lifelong bravos fan. I was Tomohawk chopping straight out of the womb. So when i say, lets keep it obvious...ya know I am talking about our stat declining and weight increasing center fielder Andruw Jones signing with the Dodgers. I mean, who in their right mind thought this guy would be back next year? Granted, he had a couple of good years with the bravos (if you consider a rookie year which was horrible other than a great world series homer, and a few years of 35 homers with abismal OBP and strikeout ratings good). I, for one, couldnt be happier. He was dead weight who had hit his prime.
*On a side note....how stupid can the dodgers be? Remember, they also signed Furcal.
Simple - Ba Humbug. Thats me, take it or leave it. I just dont get to hyped about the Holidays. I like Christmas...but not so much the Holidays. Case in point.....shopping. I was off work today...and how did I spend this glorious day of rest and relaxation? At Target. Nope even better than that...at Target and Georgia Square Mall. Nope, even better than that, at Target and Georgia Square with 3 kids who are just getting over the poop all over yourself and laugh at dad turning green virus. Now before you get up and arms about me taking the kiddos to the Mall with the P.A.O.Y.A.L.A.D.T.G. virus and infecting a large segment of Gawgas population...they arent pooping anymore, well they are, but not that kind. They are just a little puny, which leads to whiny. Wasnt to bad, I guess, I did play put put at the mall with the kidos while Annette looked around. And I did come out with a purchase....lights, yes Christmas lights. I have the distinct pleasure of hanging from a ladder tomorrow and getting me house all tackied out. Oh, and I am already sick of Christmas music....except the Chipmunk thing. I like that. Merry Christmas.
On the other hand, Nette loves the Holidays. She likes the lights and crowds, and shopping trips, and even the music. We are so flippin different....its beautiful.
Together - Yeah, thats on my mind. I have been really focusing latley on the TEAM concept of ministry. I am a professed loner when it comes to ministry, which is dangerous and non productive at times. I dont know, I just like to do things my owm way sometimes and trust only myself in getting those things done. I am really working on that now. This is the first time I've ever been on a church staff, its always been me, my laptop, the copy machine, an occasional intern and later on...a secretary. - Now, I am on a staff. Or better said, a TEAM. 5 man rotation. I'm learning it quickly, and seeing how that flows and now I intend on inserting that concept into our Student Ministry. I think its time. I have been around for a few months now, and have an idea about the protocol, and I have, what I believe to be the finest Student Ministry Team in the world willing and ready....so here we go. Sunday, we'll have a TEAM meeting and begin discussion on the methodology. I'm pretty flippin stoked to be honest.
Anyway, till later - Kyle

I'm Back.
Hey everyone.
Well, its been about 8 months since I've blogged - hey, chill.... things came up. We moved (family of 5, with 3 under the age of 6...that will bless ya), God placed me in a new Church, in a new city, in a new position, Student Pastor.
So - I have been a tad busy, sue me.
But as of today, for you viewing pleasure (or pain), I plan to begin my daily blog again.
"What will you cover in your blogs, kind sir", you ask
I will basically blog my extremley random thoughts and observations of the world around me, and of my thankfullness in no longer living a normal, ordinary, American Dream life, but being constantly on the edge where excitement lives. I will lean in certain directions with the subject matter, as could be expected, as there are certain things I pay more attention to...such as - Student Ministry, Leadership, Sports, Adventuring, relationships, so on.
And in my own unique style, I will most likely jump from one subject to the other without warning, puzzling everyone but myself.
So today, I will get back the the blogosphere. But first, I must tend to ther business. Its my day off, my house is being remodeled, and the constant sound of a hammer smashing into a nail has convinced me to head to the Holy of Holies....Wal Mart and Taco Bell.
Check back this afternoon for the days post
Good to be back - kyle
