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.

SUNDAY IN REVIEW

+ Can't believe I just fell asleep watching the Mets game, with Tom Glavine going for his 300th win.

+ Maybe I am a bit sick. My throat has been killing me for several days and my chest is a little congested.

+ Made it through teaching this morning - wasn't spectacular, but then I was feeling below par, so at least I have an excuse!

+ Leaving the theater is looking a bit final now. I'll be sorry to move on in many ways.

+ During my teaching today one of our ladies shared some of her story of how God has turned her life around - and her family too. I love that stuff.

+ This morning we announced a change of focus for one of our pastoral team as Frank Summers prepares to lay down his in-house responsibilities to take on establishing a group home for troubled teens in Port Jefferson Station in partnership with Youth For Christ. Frank will still be with us and will be ministering out from the church.

+ Took a drive into Manhattan this afternoon to drop our son off at the hotel he'll be staying in for a few days for the business segment of his trip to NY. It has been really good to have him and the family with us for the past ten days.

+ I love New York!

+ Our band was brilliant this morning. Their arrangement of How Can I Keep From Singing? was amazing.

+ Two people committed their lives to Jesus at the CR concert last night. One young woman who was playing softball on an adjoining field came over in tears and asked for someone to pray with her.

+ Why is the World Series called the World Series when only one team from outside the USA even has a look-in? And let's face it, we'll all be a lot older before the Blue Jays win it!

+ Our grandson, Benjamin, who lives outside of Dallas last night explained why he wants to move back to Long Island. This cute almost-six year old listed three people as the biggest enticements. Ray, who is one of our worship leaders came first. Jace, his cousin was second and I came third. Coming after Jace is understandable, but how the heck did Ray get into first place?
