Wow, It's been a while...

I haven't meant to neglect the blog - it's just that I'm doing a lot more updating on Facebook. Right now I'm sitting at the Phoenix airport with Cambria (my daughter) waiting to take a flight that will eventually end up in Portland, OR.

We've got a 3 hour layover at LAX (almost enough time to show her the town!).

I was blown away by our Christmas Eve services! The total count was about 640 (I subtracted a few "double counts" to get it more accurate. This was by far the biggest and highest quality event Compass has done (at least since I've been there).

The band did an amazing job, Steph, Robin, Helen, Roland, Mike, Joey, Kyle, Jim, Robert, and the many others involved truly outdid themselves.

I'm proud to be a part of a team that is doing everything possible to be excellent and authentic at the same time.

And, it was a bonus to see my son Ryan up there reciting (from memory) Matthew 2:1-12!

Anyway, I'm stoked about Compass Church, and while I'm splittin' for a few days to hang out with the relatives in the Northwest (where I will freeze!) I can't wait to get back and jump back in to 2009!
