Doubt Day Recap

Wow, there's so much that I want to write, and so little time right now. I will highlight some thoughts, but I'll probably post multiple times related to specific facets of what happened yesterday.

For starters:

• Our official count was 40. That's a good turnout considering the rain. We know of several people who were confirmed to come that ended up not. These were people who we knew and they knew us. If we lost them, how many did we lose that we didn't know? Overall having less than fifty was not a letdown.
• So many SRCers helped to make yesterday happen. The only thing I had to do was show up ready to face the "firing squad" (audio should be available on our website soon.)
• We made some good friends yesterday. One guy, Kevin, asked some fantastic questions and in our conversation afterward he really seemed to be a thinker for someone so young. The greatest thing about him was his honesty. When I gave him a Bible to keep he told me honestly that he probably wouldn't read it. But he really encapsulated what yesterday was all about. It's about a church that gives people a place to express their doubts.
  
• The food was awesome. I got one of the doubt day cookies. You should've seen them, they were awesome.
• It did rain on us so we moved inside. That was an adventure, but Janet and Sarah really helped everyone put it together.
• There were so many people involved, that I hope saying thank you suffices.

It was a great day. I felt like it was a win. We didn't hit all three of our goals, but I think we hit 2 for 3 and that's better than any baseball hall-of-famer hitters so we did real well.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in knowing how it went. Thanks more to those who prayed for us.

And if you're reading for the first time, thank you for looking into my blog. Remember, if you have further questions you can submit them through the comment section. Just post anonymously.
