Well, this is the final wrap up for my time at LPC but hopefully not the final Sunday Wrap ever. As things evolve and change for us, this wrap will hopefully begin to tell about the places we will be ministering around the world.

As for LPC this Sunday, it was a day full of mixed emotions. We have so enjoyed our time here at Life Pointe and it feels way too short. The friends and extended “family” we have made while living in South Florida are priceless to us and will continue to be a part of everything we are. Here are the highlights of our last Sunday:

• There was a great vibe in the lobby as I walked in this Sunday. It is amazing the way things smoothly run, mostly due to the leadership of Anne Johnson and her team. It was ironic to have someone visiting today from Christ Fellowship (Kendall Campus) to see how we do hospitality. I can take no credit, but have much pride in the effectiveness of this ministry.
• The worship was great in Pier 2, even though Jesse was only playing due to some illness, and Mike Betancourt did an excellent job leading us into God’s presence.
• I spoke about Jonah’s Obedience today as the third installment of the Jonah series. It was timely for us as we are learning every minute how crucial it is to obey God’s voice. I really believe God was calling us all to a new level of obedience in Him and can’t wait to see the results at LPC that will come from an awesome group of people who are ready to ”qwum yalak” (go) to the next level. You can catch the whole thing here.
• I will let Annie wrap up things in Kids Life.
• The service in Plantation Key was excellent as well, with Jesse regaining strength enough to lead worship. The goodbye there was especially poignant as many of the friends in the keys are brand new at best. I will greatly miss the opportunity to see this campus grow and flourish as I am confident it will.
• The night ended with me shuttling the Saturn Project (Alex & Jesse) to West Palm Beach to meet up with Brent Maloney as they prepare to head to Atlanta today and begin recording the Anthems project. Mariah and Nathan went with me to “keep me awake” on the ride home. Thank goodness for ESPN & Fox News on the radio as both kids crashed immediately upon leaving West Palm. We made it safely to the house around 2:30 a.m. making it not only the last day at LPC but officially the longest.

I will leave this wrap up with a promise or committment as it were. This will not be the last blog entry and they will not be so far apart from this point forward. It is important for me to communicate how God is blessing and moving in our lives and I will do so to the best of my ability, even if it kills me!
