Confessions Of A Worshipper

Next?

2008-07-02T14:46:00.002-05:00

So the obivious question now is what comes next? Since we announced the coming launch of The Ridge Church, there will also be some changes on Confessions. Starting next week, I'll begin to do a weekly post called Behind The Ridge and talk about the church planting process. They'll be days when that's all I talk about here, but you'll also still get some of the same topics we've hit before on Confessions, including worship discussions, muisic reviews, and all that good jazz.

Right now, I'm going on siesta with Confessions for a few days to spend some time with my wife and some friends in the mountains of east Tennessee, camping and getting rested up for a tough and crazy season of ministry. Also gonna spend some time with my good friends (and cousin!), Russell Sams and Billy Fairbanks. Love those guys and can't wait for one crazy fun 4th of July!

The Big Announcement

2008-06-30T06:49:00.002-05:00

For some of you, the suspense has been killing you. For others, you didn't even notice. But for those who have been paying attention, there have been some BIG changes going on in the Williams household the last several months. We have moved, we're expecting our first child, I resigned my position as student pastor, and also stated a different secular job on the side. Needless to say, it's been a little crazy 'round here.

Nothing has made it crazier than the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. Nothing will ever change your life like telling God you are all HIS. When you do that, just plan on nothing, cause every thing you plan will be shot an it ALL goes to HIM. But Denira and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So by giving ourselves truly to the will of God, He has spoken loudly into our lives. Out of HIS plans and our acceptance to HIS will, comes The Ridge Community Church. Yes, God has called us to plant a church! That sounds crazy just saying that out loud. The Ridge is coming to Oak Ridge Tennessee!

Now to be honest, I struggled with this for a while, wrestling with God on how, why, when, with who, and even why me. I didn't want to plant a new church. I wanted to be a lifer in student ministry. Most of us know how the story ends and God always wins. For several months I struggled with God and when I finally gave in, He closed and opened a lot of doors I didn't even know existed! God awakened my heart to reach people in Oak Ridge that are distant from God, to see them awakened to life in Christ! That gets me juiced!

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. We are planting a new, fresh, all about the BIG C Church, church, in Oak Ridge Tennessee called The Ridge Community Church along with a host of other families and individuals who share that same calling to reach people distant from God, seeing them awakened to life in Christ!

Will you pray with us? Will you pray for the people of Oak Ridge that they will see the light of Christ, being awakened from the spiritual sleep? (Eph. 5) Will you pray for Denira and I that God will continue to speak loudly into our lives, giving me direction, clear vision, and wisdom to see it all come together?

Want to more about The Ridge or find out how you too can be involved? Visit www.ridgechurchonline.com or drop me a comment or email. I'd love to hear from you!

Prayer Shanker

2008-06-27T08:22:00.003-05:00

I think we've all been there; someone says, "hey! Pray for me because______" And of course we do the Christian thing and say yeah we'll pray, walk away and totally forget about it.

Are you as guilty as I am?

Let me redeem myself by saying I don't do this always. A lot of times I really do pray for that person of that situation. But sometimes....yes...GUILTY.

How bout you? Are you a 'prayer shanker'?

Crazy

2008-06-25T21:36:00.002-05:00

No, I'm not talking about Crazy Love from Francis Chan this time. However, you should read it if you haven't yet. Seriously. I titled this 'crazy' because that's what Bobby's World has been the last few days and it's only gonna get worse! Thus the reason for gaps in posts. BUT....yes there's always a BUT....there's some great stuff coming. And I mean GREAT! So much that I don't even want to get into it now. You just need to know that things will never be the same....they will never be the same....

Weekend Confessions

2008-06-23T19:36:00.003-05:00

Nothing too spectacular this weekend for the Williams. Just some nice relaxation...

Friday we celebrated Deena and Melissa's Birthdays by eating out at PF Chang's. I recommend the Lemon Chicken..
Saturday, Denira and I went to Emory and Henry in Virgina for her good friend Jodie's wedding. It was a nice ceremony with a great setting. We hung out at the reception for a bit, but had to leave because I couldn't stop critiquing the DJ! Ha!
Sunday we worshipped with some friends and had an interesting discussion about getting off the milk and into the meat. Getting called to the carpet on Sunday morning is a nice change of pace!
Sunday afternoon, my brother Jarrett and I went fishing and I think we broke the record for most bass caught in a single day! It was nuts! Got a hit on almost every cast...insane fishing the past few weeks!
Had a chance to catch Perry Noble's message on One Prayer and it totally rocked my socks! He spoke exactly what I've been thinking for a while now...it's time to be DANGEROUS!
The demo for NCAA Football for the 360 came out this weekend and I can't wait till I get the real deal when it comes out in July!
My boys Brightgray won the Atlanta Fest Battle of the Bands contest in the A T L this past weekend. If you haven't heard them yet, why are you still reading this? Go!
Speaking of winning...Chris "the thrill" Hill and Nick "the vanilla killa" Miller won the Marble City Film Festival contest with one hilarious entry. You can check out their video HERE

How To Not Be A Kingdom Minded Church: Part 2

2008-06-19T22:37:00.002-05:00

I'm closing this one up...

Here's the deal: I can't stand it when churches are not focused on the BIG C Church...the Kingdom of God. It drives me up the wall! It seems sometimes I hear too many churches talking more about themselves and what they've done for themselves disguised as something they've done for God than what God has done for them.
As the Church, we have to remember that it's not about US. It's not OUR church. It's not about YOUR church...that you're not the head of...I'm just sayin'...it's about HIS Church. HIS people. HIS Kingdom. HIS GLORY.

Just a reminder. Dunzo.

Fishing And Other Random Thoughts

2008-06-19T22:27:00.003-05:00

Here are a few random thoughts for the day...

Went fishing with my brother Jarrett today after work. I love to go fishing with my brohters! We bought a boat together earlier this spring and it's been one of the best investments ever because it gets us brothers togheter to hang out doing something we love to do. Plus, I caught some massive fish today. Good day on the lake...
I'm starting to dig Twitter a lot more. If you're not on...get there!
I was thinking today how I can't wait to take my son fishing for the first time to a Vols game. That's gonna be so crazy!
A small black lab puppy wandered into our yard last night and I wanted to keep her. She had a collar on and so she belonged to someone else...too bad. It's just a pre-cursor to what is to come one day!
Watching the Karate Kid right now...how great is this movie!?
I haven't said it on my blog lately, but I love my wife! She's gonna be such a great mommy!

How To Not Be a Kingdom Minded Church: Part 1

2008-06-18T21:22:00.002-05:00

Being a 'Kingdom Minded' church is something that is talked about often, but not always achieved. It takes work to be a church that is about the big C Church. If you're looking for ways to not be about the BIG C church, the look no further! Here's what I think are some ways you too can say you're 'Kingdom Minded' but really be about just making sure your seats are filled....

If you truly want to be a church that is inward focused, then make sure you never partner with other churches and never connect with other pastors for fellowship. And I don't mean connecting with other churches and pastors because they've approached you to learn from you. You didn't reach out to them...they reached out to you. When another church is doing something in the community and they invite you to be part of it, go ahead and turn them down! OR....just let them know you'll be there, BUT you have to have a HUGE banner with your churches name it, hanging in a place where every person will see it with a table set up where an over annoying person will be there handing out so much material on your church that they'll need to provide a bag for it all, which by the way, will have your churches name on it. What? I'm just sayin...

Of course, that is just a suggestion if you DON'T WANT TO BE A KINGDOM MINDED CHURCH.

Kingdom Minded

2008-06-17T10:04:00.002-05:00

There's not much out there that gets under my skin worse than individuals and churches that are not "kingdom minded." The worse part of it is when churches profess to be all about raising up the Kingdom but really just want to raise up their church.

Listen CHURCH: STOP BEING ALL ABOUT YOURSELVES AND THE LITTLE PLOT OF LAND THAT YOUR BUILDING SITS ON!

Let's be about the Church (BIG C)! Nothing chaps me worse than seeing a church promote their name above our God. The only thing that comes in a close second is when churches can't work with one another to advance the Kingdom of God. It's gotten to be too much of the ME mentality instead of the HIM mentality.

So churches, pastors, leaders, Christians...listen up. This week we're gonna talk about how to NOT be a Kingdom Minded Church.

Tune in this week...it's gonna be FUN!

Weekend Confessions

2008-06-15T19:37:00.003-05:00

My first qusi-father's day is now in the books and I gotta say it was good one. In fact, the entire weekend was a good one, just hanging with the wife and doing some relaxing...

Friday night was date night at home with my stone cold fox baby mama. We went out to Outback, had a steak, then it was back home for Dan In Real Life, and I Am Legend.
Saturday we wasted some time at the mall then went out to see Brightgray rock the Worlds Fair Park in Knoxvegas. Mental note: when you put on a music festival, get sound guys that have actually ran sound before. What? I'm just sayin...OH!...and if the best band you've got playing gets cut down to only 4 songs after you've had to wait an hour for your sound men to get things rolling...just don't even ask them to play...what?...I'm just sayin...
Love those guys in Brightgray...buy their album NOW!
Saturday night we finally got to see Prince Caspien....great movie! One of the better ones I've seen this summer
Went to St. Arbucks before the flick and who did we see...T-Rav...the guy lives there...but it's all good cause I love seeing that guy!
Sunday we checked out Providence with Chris the Thrill Hill and his baby momma Melis...good service and loved seeing the legend Ken Sparks take the stage for his son on Father's Day
Enjoyed hanging with my family at my parents house...fired up the grill from some good ole southern "poke chops"
I love days when I get to hang with my wife, brothers and parents...I can't wait till our son gets to experience that and my brother's daughter is there with us too!
Listening to Worth Dying For and still loving that album!

Honor: Final Post

2008-06-11T22:36:00.003-05:00

If you've been following Confessions this past week, I've been taking some time to write open letters to a few people that I needed to HONOR. I could seriously take the next two to three weeks and continue writing OPEN LETTERS, but I've decided that I would honor the rest of the people on my list in another way. Not only that, but the list is growing.

This next group of people have made LARGE....no...HUGE contributions to shaping who I am today. And a few of them, have made rather large dents into who I've become just very recently, or over the last few years. To you, I want to say again, THANK YOU. And thank you is no where near what it would be to repay you for what you've invested into my life. But I will say this; there will be a day when I get to return the favor to each of you in a BIG way. So till then, allow me to HONOR you by saying thank you, and telling the world who you are...Andy Stanely, Francis Chan, Steven Furtick, Gary Lamb, Perry Noble, Sonny Sandoval, Mark Batterson, Doug Fields, Josh Griffin, Kurt Johnston, and my wife, Denira, who should get an entire website devoted to how much I appreciate her!

Honor: Open Letter to Louie Giglio

2008-06-06T11:03:00.003-05:00

This week I am doing a series of posts on HONOR. I am writing open letters to those individuals who have greatly influenced me and my relationship with the Lord. This comes from a recent message given by pastor Steven Furtick at Elevation Church during the Old Time Religion series. To sum it up, we don't honor those who have influenced us enough. We should do all we can to let those individuals know the impact they have had on us and the kingdom. Here's just a little part of that...

Today's Honor letter goes out to Louie Giglio. If anyone could ever make you love trees or far off nebula's, it's Louie Giglio. Louie is the head of Passion Conferences and the 268 Generation, as well as one the best speakers I've ever had the privledge to hear. Louie has made a HUGE impact on me and the way I speak, so here's my open letter to Louie Giglio.

Louie,

Hello Louie! I know you have no idea who in the world I am, but I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I want to say thank for the impact you have had on my life. I believe that as pastors, ministers and fellow believers, we sometimes forget to say thank you to those who have influenced us along the way. And you have had a GREAT influence on my life.

Some years ago, I remember getting a CD called Passion. I thought it was like some romance praise and worship stuff or something. Little did I know it would change me in so many ways. After one listen I knew right away that this was different. The lyrics were different. The artist were different. The attitude was different. I had just started playing guitar a few years before the CD came out, so the next logical thing to do was to learn every lick on the entire CD. We Fall Down still gets some play on my guitar or my iPod. Then someone let me in on a little secret; Passion was a conference and I should listen to this guy named Louie Giglio speak. And so it began....

From that point on I took every opportunity I could to listen to messages from you. Passion messages, Thirsty Conference messages, 7/22 Messages, student ministry conferences, messages you spoke at NorthPoint...if you were speaking, I was listening. And I know it wasn't you, no offense, but I know it was the Spirit of God through you that drew me in so intently. I'm sure God could had used anyone else to speak those messages, but he chose you. He chose you because you made yourself available to His leading. And for that I thank you. Chris Tomlin said it best once when he said that no one else could make you love the smallest things like trees. I agree. God's creative mind, putting things together like the human body or the way a flower takes in sunlight and turns it into the air we breath is something amazing that I pay more attention to now because of some the things you've pointed out before about God's amazing hand of creation. I use to take those things for granted at times, but not anymore.

Louie, thank you for listening to the Lord. Thank you for taking risks and jumping at the opportunity to serve a unique, amazing Creator. Thank you for bringing guys like Charlie Hall, David Crowder Band, Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin to the rest of us. By the way, I'm so stinkin' stoked about Charlie's new album! Can't wait till those songs start to resonate in my heart like all the others have! Thank you for listening to God in the vision for Passion and the 268 Generation. You see, your willingness to step out and act on what God has called you to has helped be a catalyst in changing the lives of millions of people. Yes, millions; plus one...me.

Thank you Louie Giglio

Honor: Open Letter to Rick Warren

2008-06-05T15:30:00.004-05:00

I'm not sure this man needs any introduction at all. Church planter, visionary, pastor, best-selling author, blah, blah...yeah you know who I'm talking about. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest California. This begins my series of posts on honor for the people that have influenced me from a distance. Rick has done just that. His influence planted something HUGE in my heart some 12 years ago.

Rick,

It's kinda weird because I feel like I should call you Mr. Warren. But since you may never read this any way, I'll go with Rick to feel like we know one another! I'm sure that you've heard it a million times about how something you've said, something you've written or something you've spear headed has changed someones life; well add another person to that list. You see, some 12+ years ago I read Purpose Driven Church and it rocked me to the core. I had just started serving as a student pastor at a medium sized country church in Lake City Tennessee. My pastor, Jeff Calloway, gave me Purpose Driven Church my first day on the job and told me to go home and read it. So I did, but reluctantly. See I wasn't big on reading books at that time. However, something I learned from having to read this book is that leaders are readers. So now I read everything I can get my paws on! As I read through the pages, my views on what church could be and should be got flipped upside down. I saw the functionality of a Purpose-Driven Church and saw the need for the balance. There would be days that after reading a chapter, I would have to put the book down because my soul ached and longed to be part of church movement that wasn't bound by traditions and was all about reaching those distant from God. So I hid these ideas in my heart and in mind and infused them with scripture. My world officially had been changed.

Over the years I continued to learn as much as I could about the process of becoming a healthy, purpose driven church. I took those thoughts and ideas with me to the next two churches that I served at, urging my lead pastor to give it a try. Being a student pastor I knew there had to be a way to be purpose driven within the context of student ministry, but I hadn't put it together just yet. Then Doug Fields released Purpose Driven Student Ministry and my problem was solved! So I adopted and adapted this method into the student ministries I served in from that point on.

However, there was still that ache and urge to be part of something so new, so fresh, so different from what was in the south where I grew up, that I kept the thoughts and ideas of Purpose Driven Church at the front of mind to reach people distant from God to see them awakened to life in Christ. Rick you were part of the catalyst that has jolted me to see that happen, with Christ being the key ingredient of course. So from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your leadership, your willingness to share what Christ has put within you and your desire to see the world come into a growing relationship with God. It's an honor, sir, to sit under you and learn all I have and continue to learn from you.

Honor: Open Letter to Jeff Calloway

2008-06-04T07:12:00.002-05:00

Today's open letter goes out to Jeff Calloway, pastor of Bridge Church at Perry in Perry Ohio. Jeff is a mentor, friend, and pastor that I've had the opportunity to serve under. Jeff recently released his first book titled, Visional Life: The Pursuit of God's Passion. I highly recommend you go out and buy it....today....

Jeff,

By the way man, great talk last night! I really appreciate all the coaching and guidance you've given me. Do you realize that this summer, it will be 17 years since I first met you...I think. All I remember is coming to Lakeview Baptist with mom because I heard there was a new pastor, he was young and I'd probably like him. We hate to say it sometimes, but mom was right. You and Julie being at that church changed my life. I don't know ALL the reasons why God led you to Lakeview, but one of those reasons was for me. I'm confident of that. It was yours and Julie's leadership that pushed me as a teenager to give more to God. It was your teaching that pushed me to dive deeper. It was your friendship that showed me that being a pastor wasn't so much about seeing how much spit you could lay down on the front pew. I discovered Christian music (that was actually being played on the radio and not on pianos) because of a Steven Curtis Chapman tape that Julie played on the way to Student Life Camp. I started playing guitar because of my involvement with World Changers; a mission trip you urged me to go on, which turned out to be some of the best times of my teenage life. You baptized me. Heck, you baptized my family! It was you that gave me the opportunity to serve in the local church, not only as a teenage doing Vacation Bible Schools, but later on as a youth pastor. You saw something in me that I didn't realize was there. You helped uncover passion for serving beneath all the "life and living" that I had piled on top of it.

Not many people can say they were given a chance at serving as a student ministry director/pastor at the age of 19. However, you gave me that chance and it changed everything. I'll forever be grateful for that opportunity. Up till that point in my life, I never knew you could server teenagers and get paid for it! I thought that was for senior pastors only. Still today, I'm forever grateful for you being a catalyst in my life. In fact, you are today a catalyst in my life. Thank you.

With all the great things God still has in store for me, I look forward to sharing those victories with you and your family. No matter how far apart we are in distance, you all; you, Julie, Sarah, and Emily, will always near in my heart. I owe more than I could ever give to you and Julie for all the prayers, pushing, guiding, and friendship that you've imparted on me. It's been a crazy ride up to this point, and I can only imagine what God has next. But I do know this; you'll definitely be part of it like you've always been part of my life and what God is doing in it!

It doesn't sound like much....but I mean it from the bottom of heart. Thank you.

Honor: Open Letter to Kevin Young

2008-06-02T15:41:00.005-05:00

Kevin Young is the front man and lead singer for the Christian rock group Disciple. I met Kevin 10 or so years ago in a Christian book store....

Kevin,

It seems like many years ago you and I crossed paths. Somewhere around 10 to be exact. I was browsing the new releases for the week and picked up a cd with some long haired dudes on the front and an album named My Daddy Can Whip Your Daddy. Nice touch by the way. I think that moment that you approached me and said, "don't buy that, those guys stink" was truly an interesting moment in my life. I did buy the album; and every one since then. But the point of this isn't reminist, it's to say thank you. Over the years of listening to your records, hearing you speak or the ocassional chance to hang out with you have had a bigger impact on my life than you may ever know.

You see, not only did your influence change the music I listen to, but your passion that you exhibit when on stage has carried over into my life when I take the stage to speak. I've seen you speak with a boldness that I haven't seen in many preachers or pastors before, that definitely says "satan, you can go to hell." I would get so juiced after seeing a Disciple concert! There has been many a Disciple song that played in my ear just before a basketball game or athletic event I was taking place in. On some days, there's still a Disciple song that gets played before I take a court, field or just when I work out. It's not so much the head banging music, shredding guitars, or thump of the bass.....it's the passion.

If there's one thing that I can say that you have instilled in me Kevin, it's this; have passion for God. Exhibit that passion on every stage, in every town, in every city, in every country and in every other opportunity in life. Speak with passion, live with passion, live for Jesus.

Thank you Kevin

Weekend Confessions

2008-06-01T19:44:00.004-05:00

Another weekend in the books and of course, it wasn't long enough! Seems that is a reoccurring theme as of late. But, it was a good weekend, so here's the box score...

Friday was grill night. Took out a few steaks, cleaned off the grill and let the flames do the talking! Great meal!
Later Friday we went out to see The Strangers. Not a bad movie. I think it had by far the creepiest music ever. If you wanna know, that creepy song playing on the record player is called The Bean and the Sprout and yes, it is on iTunes
Saturday we headed out of town for a trip to Big South Fork National Park. I've been to the Blue Heron area before but never actually to the park. Denira and I took off and drove around scouting out some possible camping excursions. The river was running, the sun was out, and it was a great trip with my wife
The grilling bug struck again Saturday night, but right as I was about to flip my bbq'ed chicken, the grill ran out of gas! Seriously...it stunk. But I finished up in the oven and it was superb...
Sunday, Denira and I took one more day to just hang out, taking in some O'Charley's, a trip to Target, and a viewing of What Happens in Vegas
College football season is getting closer...and I can't wait! Best time of year...and of course NCAA Football 09 for the 360 will be out soon...
My wife thinks I'm insane for my Twitter addiction...it makes me look important...but I'm really not
More people need to twitter so more people will actually read what I post to twitter!

I'm really pumped about this week's posts. After hearing a great sermon from pastor Furtick on honor, I'm going to put together a series of OPEN LETTERS to other people that have influenced me, spoke into my life, and have helped me along thus far. I'm really excited about honoring these people for speaking into my life!

This is SICK!

2008-05-30T12:44:00.003-05:00

It's here. Holographic, real-time images. The world of satellite campuses are about to change like never before! If you thought Andy Stanley looked real at the Buckhead Campus, just wait till they get hold of one these!

Sometimes It's Like Cool Water

2008-05-28T11:44:00.003-05:00

Have you ever heard or read a set of scripture and even though you've heard it a thousand times, it seemed like this was the first time you had ever heard it?

This happened last night as a the lead singer from Cool Hand Luke (Mark) was speaking. He spoke Jeremiah 33:3-

"Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

I heard it in Sunday school. I heard it being preached. I heard it in small group. I've spoken it in messages. I've read it off the page. However, last night was like the first time that I had ever heard it.

How great and BIG is the God we serve? So BIG to answer us when we call out to Him and to tell us GREAT and MIGHTY things that we do not KNOW. So GREAT that the future is in HIS hands and not ours. So BIG that He knows the next move. So MIGHTY that we need to call to Him, SHUT UP, and let the scripture run over us like it's cool, clean water...for the first time.

Just wanted to remind you.

Twitter...Again

2008-05-27T21:06:00.002-05:00

If you'll notice on the blog page to the right, I am on Twitter yet once again. Yes, it is a love-hate relationship, but I had to join back into the fun now that I have unlimited text messaging. Plus, it's addictive.

If you feel froggy...or twitter like...then follow me by clicking HERE

Or just go to Twitter.com and twitter with me!

Memorial Day 2008: Daniel Marshall Morris

2008-05-26T11:47:00.005-05:00

I remember the first day of kindergarten and getting on the bus for my very first time ever. I was a little intimidated riding the school bus to a place I had never been before. To say the least being 5 years old and knowing no one was a bit scary. However, waiting for me down the isle was a scrawny, homely looking boy who motioned me to sit next to him. I did and during the 30 minute ride to our first day of school, we compared GI Joe lunch boxes, war drawings and our love He-Man action figures. In those few moments, Daniel Morris and I became life long friends.

A few days ago, Daniel would had turned 30 years old. Yes; would had. Daniel Morris gave his life to this country, to you, to me, to all of us for our freedom. A few years back we got the call that Daniel had been killed in a roadside bomb attack during his normal patrol. It was his second tour in Iraq. Daniel was my friend and a man that I still look up to for his service to our country, just like all the others who have given their life for our freedom and liberties that we seldom think of as a privilege.

For today, stop and be thankful for Daniel and these others who paid the ultimate price for each of us. You don't have a day off work because someone thought they would be generous to you. It cost a price.

Daniel, we honor you today my friend. Thank you.

Overall, it was a really relaxing weekend. Not too much going on, but for your reading pleasure...please proceed...

Weekend actually kicked on Thursday this week as I did a DJ gig for 13 year old birthday party. It was fun, but I totally realized I am out of touch with current hip hop
Friday was much better than Thursday. For one, my wife wasn't in a car accident like on Thursday and two, I got to hang with some of my favorite people in the world at Chilis to talk ministry, life and that next BIG thing....
Saturday I spent the entire day with my wife which was much needed and relaxing. We started the registry process for out coming child (no name yet, but we're working on it!)
Sunday was interesting....after gathering with some friends for worship we relaxed then went to the Hill's casa to have some dinner and friendly competition in Catch Phrase. I'm sad to say that the men lost 2 to 1...but we'll be back!
Been praying for those still at Fusion this week...they had their first gathering of the summer this past week! They've got a great opportunity ahead of them and I know that God will bless any effort given for HIM!
Got a full week of meetings ahead this week as well as some things in the stirring pot...want to know what they are?....stay tuned!
