Last week our church got new carpet. We saw it today for the first time. Oooh, it was shiny. Er, metaphorically speaking. It was actually a dull brown. It was really cool, though, because before that we just had concrete floors. The carpet really helps insulate the building, as well as absorbing the sound and taking the the “edge” off the electric guitar and drums.

Last week I went to the local coffee shop to talk with my pastor. (That was the day the water went out and I had to go with dried soap all over me, if you’ll recall.) I’m teaching on the gift of prophecy in our small group, and I wanted to run over some things with him to make sure what I was teaching was in line with the church’s doctrine. We had a good time, and he encouraged me a lot. He’s also really excited about what’s happening on the campus – the last few weeks, we’ve had students signed up to pray on Thursdays from 7 am to 10 pm in one-hour slots in the prayer room. We’re hoping to grow and start covering parts of Wednesday and Friday, as well.
