Yeah, I Facebook. But I have to be honest. There are some things I DO NOT like about it. I don't like it when I am forced to see that you are playing farmville, your tank is clean, or you've found some treasure, or got some high score on a game.

It's getting a little frustrating.

My mind is mush, my energy is zapped, and yet,after this weekend I'm compelled to get up and get in here and get 'er done! This weekend was incredible. At Greater Gresham, we kicked off the weekend with our Good Friday Service. It was moving, challenging, and powerful. The Lord definitely met with us. It was refreshing, energizing, and what we needed. Then we moved into our Easter celebrations with one service on Saturday evening and 3 on Sunday morning. The attendance on Saturday night blew us away! THEN came Sunday morning. the 8:30 am service took us by surprise. pleasant surprise, but still a surprise.
