Monday Madness

Monday morning came early today. For some strange reason I had a hard time sleeping last night then inevitably, getting up to the sound of the alarm. Mornings like this sure make coffee and Cheerios oh-so-yummy. Though I would have loved to roll over and head back to never-never land, I had a huge motivator to get up and get cracking! See, I get to do something I love & that I believe I'm wired to do. I plan and work on pre-event details for Fusion....I love the word 'details' and I love the RightNow Campaign.

See as we take one step closer to Fusion, I get more and more excited about what God is going to do in 7 short weeks. The possibilities of the lives changed, hearts turned & visions established lights me up and gets me pumped! So to be honest, it was not that hard to get up and get going. Especially since I'm sitting at my desk, thinking about Irving Bible Church being filled with your faces, smiles & excitement. We can't wait to join you in November for Fusion!

Continue sharing this vision with your young adults as we count down.

This week, play this funny video: Bad Fusion

We are praying for you all! Remember, coffee and Cheerios are good, but getting busy with our creator is better!

Over and Out,

T-minus 8 Weeks till Fusion

Natalie Drew here...
8 is a great number. Not only does 8 represent our countdown number to the greatest event ever, but it also represents the total number of points that Marc will get when I beat him in 2 out of 3 games of Ping Pong when we go back to Irving Bible Church in November for Fusion. You see, several of us went to IBC today for a little 'Pre-Event walk thru' when all of a sudden we stumbled upon a Ping Pong table and we did what any responsible/competitive/cocky RightNow team member would do. I readily admit Marc beat me today...but lets be honest, he is better than me and I got a bit nervous about beating my boss. Now that I know that this win has gone to his head... I will practice and he will go down, oh yes...McCartney will crumble.

Back to Fusion, my goal is to equip you with as much information and resources as you need to spread the word. One easy way to start each week is by downloading videos that I will have on this blog. You can play the videos before or during a Young Adult gathering or Small Group or Sunday School Class. So be sure to check the blog weekly as my goal is to build the excitement as we get closer and closer to Fusion. Stay tuned for other helpful ideas or updates coming at you on the only Blog in America that will stuff your face!

That's it for this weeks edition. Stay tuned for more STUFF!...

723

723... what does that mean to you? A scripture reference? A Bible Study? A significant date? All wrong...

That's the score that Marc beat Natalie on in ping pong today: 7 to 3.
