I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

ANOTHER REASON I LOVE THEATERS

We're babysitting this week, though our oldest grandson is far from a baby nowadays. He will in fact be six next week - on 6.6.6. no less!!! His dad leaves for work early in he morning, so with his mother in the DR with our missions team, he sleeps over here and therefore I got to take him to school this morning.

He's in Kindergarten, no big deal. But walking into that building this morning, I realized why I prefer doing church in a movie theater to using a school.

Schools freak me out. I'll be 56 years old in a couple of weeks, but when I went into the ofice this morning to let them know that I'd be picking Jace up and he wouldn't be on the bus this afternoon, I was intimidated.

It was like a flashback to half a century ago, though to be honest I was never sent to the office to see the principal until I was in Junior High.

Schools do not hold good memories for me. I wonder if I am in the right place. Am I following the correct protocol? Is the Principlan going to come looking for me?

Give me a popcorn scented movie theater any day. I'm not intimidated there!
