There were 276 people at Antioch yesterday on Easter Sunday… which is amazing since the theatre only holds 296!! There wasn’t an empty seat in the theatre other than the front row! We also had the new drums going… and nobody complained! Good day all around!
I’m going back over the book Tipping Point. It usually takes quite a bit for me to go back to a book, but I really enjoyed this one!! Besides, this time I’m doing it on audio CD (the lazy man’s way to take in a book). Malcolm Gladwell’s book is right up the

Do you know how you never really miss people till they’re gone?? Well, half of the Antioch staff is down in Mexico on a humanitarian trip and it’s pretty tough manning the fort alone. I’m not a Lone Ranger… it’s much more fun (and easy) when everyone is here :)
