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 REVIEW

+ The New Jersey Giants won their wildcard game this afternoon and I was happy about that, but only because they beat the team that has such a foul-mouthed head coach that the TV cameras seldom cut to him on the sidelines nowadays. Plus of course the Tampa organization dumped Tony Dungy a few tears back. Next week I'll be rooting for Dallas to defeat the Jersey boys!


+ Church went well today. A lot of new faces and a good crowd for the first Sunday of the New Year. Our Big Screen Cafe was back in operation after a four weeks break. Some folks prefer to watch the service there on a plasma TV rather than go into the main theater and though I don't fully understand that, I realize we're all wired differently and am happy to accommodate them.


+ I am amazed at how many people are there 45 minutes before service starts, just so they can hang out with one another. Of course we provide coffee, donuts and bagels to help them pass the time.


+ Got another wedding request today. That's three we have coming up in the next three months. I love doing weddings.


+ Still finding out how my new Treo works. Downloaded some music to it today. I can't get over a phone that I can put my own music on. I reckon I was born too early.


+ Looking forward to putting the finishing touches on our new website this week. It's definitely time for a makeover and this has been in the pipeline so long now that our existing site is like a historic document. We'll change the format of my blog too so that it will have a similar appearance to the website.


+ Roger Clemens' interview is just coming up on 60 Minutes. Is there a single person in America who believes he didn't take steroids? Mike Wallace's credibility takes a knock by even conducting the interview.

+ We're compiling quite a list for our New Friends Lunch at the end of the month. We had over 70 people there three months ago and the number looks like being impressive again.
