Sunday Reflections
We continued our DTR: Define the Relationship series today.
We showed our on the street video. Pretty funny stuff. The band at Union did a fun Avril Lavigne remix of Complicated. I felt good about the message at Union, but I totally ran out of time. I wanted to talk about ten commandments of dating. And I talked about five. It was like a time warp moment when I looked down at it was 10:34. I totally lost track of time. I wrapped things up at 10:44.
It takes about five minutes to get out of Union Station and another ten minutes to drive ten miles to our Ballston location so there is very little room for error! We made great time and I made it to Ballston about 11:02 AM.
The morning ended on an interesting note. At 11:30 I was getting to the fourth commandment of dating. I was starting to talk about sex when the fire alarm went off! At first I thought it was a practical joke because the timing was too perfect. But it wasn't. We all exited the theater and went out to the parking garage. After about five minutes we realized we didn't have time to finish the service so we prayed in the parking garage and dismissed everybody. Weird ending to church! That is part of doing church in the middle of the marketplace.
It was cool to have Doug and Beth Miller hang out with us this weekend. They are planting Plum Creek Community Church in a movie theater in Castlerock, Colorado.

I totally thought that fire alarm was planned when it first went off. As you said, the timing was too perfect. You had just mentioned "sex with a condom" and then BOOM, the alarm starts going off.
that's ironically funny because it happened at my church last weekend. a truck delivering flowers broke a sprinkler and the alarms went off. we actually kept going with the message and didn't have to evacuate since it wasn't a real emergency. it turned out really good, except for the blinking lights that you would see out of the corner of your eye.
