Now that you’ve seen God Save more than 400 people THIS year…what are you going to do?
I’m going to Disney World!
No, really.
But the celebration for everyone @ Southbrook is over how HUGE our God is!!!
Stop right now wherever you are and praise Him for how He has moved and continues to move in the lives and through the lives of His people at Southbrook Church!!
Friends, most churches don’t get to witness 400 plus people coming to Jesus Christ in their whole existence. We’ve seen this many people bend the knee to Jesus in the last almost 4 months alone!!
It made me remember what I wrote way back when… see this post for details, http://www.robsingleton.net/?p=72 about seeing more people come to Christ THIS year than in all the previous years combined? And why not? God says that this is what He wants (see this verse, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=61&chapter=2&verse=3&end_verse=5&version=31&context=context ), so let’s praise Him that we get to partner with Him on this incredible mission! He could do it without me (probably save Him a lot of headaches too…theological brain freeze…can God get headaches?)!
But I digress…guess what? He’s right on track to do exactly what He said!! So I hope you’ll pause some this week to praise Him. I’ll be right there with you — only some of my loud praise will be coming from the tower of terror at MGM!
I was serious about the Mickey detour.
My family and I are taking a much needed break and my two young whiper snapers (what in the world is a whiper snaper anyway?) are going to see the Magic Kingdom for the VERY FIRST TIME!
WOO WHOOO!!
Some of you are thinking, “The very first time? You’ve never taken your kids to Disney World? How old are they now, like 25?!!”
Try 10 and 8.
But I’m with you, it’s long overdue, but the time is right.
You all are in good hands.
Clayton King will be speaking this weekend so you know what that means without me saying it, right?
I’ll say it anyway.
INVITE!
INVITE!
INVITE!
And you can even invite your Christian friends (just this once 
) because this message is for everyone.
I can’t wait to hear how God moves!

enjoy your rest. We haven’t taken our kids yet and they are 11 and 14. I’m thinking they will need therapy later in life because of it.

Matt has never been and he is 30 something! We are planning on a trip in January (hoping to renew our vows then)! Our kids at 9, 7 and 5. Enjoy yourselves! Rob if God puts up with all of us I am sure he delights in you just as much! Thank you for the message this weekend. Not a great visual but it got the point accross. I am praying that God will keep me from making the same mistakes over and over and over and . . . .. .

A paste from the Word Detective:
“Whippersnapper” is a somewhat archaic term, rarely heard today outside of movies, and then usually from the mouth of a character portrayed as chronologically-challenged and hopelessly old-fashioned to boot. A “whippersnapper” is an impertinent young person, usually a young man, whose lack of proper respect for the older generation is matched only by his laziness and lack of motivation to better himself.
Such ne’er-do-wells were originally known as “whip snappers” in the 17th century, after their habit of standing around street corners all day, idly snapping whips to pass the time. Though “whippersnapper” originally referred to a young man with no visible ambition, the term has changed somewhat over the years, and today is more likely to be applied to a youngster with an excess of both ambition and impertinence.

Have a great trip….the last time i was at Disney…Epcot was just a thought and a model…it has been awhile….please say hi to Tigger for me! I do expect to see a picture of you on here with Mickey Ears! Like Lucy said we are in good hands this weekend even though you will be missed!
Might I recommend the ‘It’s a Small World’ ride! It’s a classic that every little and big kid must ride. This ride truly captures the ‘Disney’ spirit
We were out of town the first time Clayton King was here, so we are excited to hear him speak!
Have an awesome time down at the Magic Kingdom…M-I-C…see ya real soon…K-E-Y…Why? Because we love you…M-O-U-S-E.
