Netflix: My Hero Of HEROES

Last year I was given the set of Heroes Season One. Not a big Sci-Fi guy, but I was told that this show was awesome. From Disc one to the end I was hooked. I missed season 2 because I was still trying to catch up on Season 1...Now that Season 3 is set to start on Monday its time for me to catch up. I went to Blockbuster to try and rent Season 2, but they charge $5 bucks a disc and and there are 4...it almost cost as much to rent as it does to buy. I am not about to buy the set because I can't justify purchasing something I know I will only utilize one time. There in lies my dilemma. But then I remembered Netflix. Monday I signed up for a 2 week free trial, Wednesday I got my first disc, this morning I mailed it back, and I should be receiving disc 2 in the next day or so...all at the cost of $0! You can't beat that. Netflix is my new Hero...and if all goes well...I will be able to fully catch up and not pay one dime!!!

Saturday In The Branch

This Saturday we are going to be a part of a Chili Cook-Off and Car Show taking place in Flowery Branch, GA. It has become an annual event for the city and we wanted to jump in and be a part. In addition to just serving at the event we will have a Reveal Church booth set up. We've decided to use this event for some exposure. At our booth we are doing the following:

1. Giving out balloons to kids that have our logo and website on them
2. Doing a drawing where we will give away a $50 gas card (who does not want that right now?)
3. Setting up Guitar Hero so people can come by and play around
4. Giving out invite cards to our 3 Worship Experiences coming up in October, November, and December (more on that later)

On top of all of this I have been asked to give the invocation and talk a little bit about our new church (I'm not kidding when I tell you they asked me to do this!!!). It's going to be a great Saturday!!

Tax, Tag, and Commitment...

A couple of months ago me and the family moved to the Flowery Branch, GA area. Things have been so busy that I have not had the chance to do all the things that go along with relocating...like transferring car tags, new drivers licenses and all that fun stuff. Well, Monday I was forced to because of a little thing called taxes. Our first set of property taxes were due Monday so I had to drive to the tax office and make sure we were all good on that. While there I needed to file homestead exemption for next year. Doing that led me to having to finally transfer our car tags. I was driving around doing all this stuff and began thinking about all that goes into being a homeowner and relocating. I was thinking about why we moved here and why we bought a house and things such as that. It all came down to one word...commitment. We could have rented and just kept our roots back home in good ole Canton, GA...you know "just in case". But God called us here and we are committed to what God has called us to. Solidifying this call meant planting ourselves here...no turning back! I love this city...and I'm pumped about being here and calling it home! I am officially taxed, tagged, and committed!!!
