never to old for the zoo

today amber and I went to Denver with Pastor Jeff and Sabrina. We were filming our PROMO video for our next series that starts in 2 weeks at the DENVER ZOO. It was such a good time. I haven't been to a zoo in like 7 years. We were able to see everything out side, typically i remember all the animals you would want to see would be locked up or inside. We were able to see the lions get fed. Thats was phenomenal. Monkeys, elephants, giraffes, it was so much fun. It was like being a kid again. lol. I am so pumped for our next series. Our current series 21 has been rocking our world and seriously has the potential to change our lives forever, this next series which you will find out about sunday, is going to be a perfect follow up.

We topped it off with an incredible dining experience at the Melting Pot in Fort Collins. A 4 course Fondue experience. Amber and I went to one in sacramento about 4 years ago, and this was a great trip back. What a way to spend a friday.

One last thought that blew me away. The staff new how to assure everyone they were going to have the best experience. You could tell they put a bunch of effort into the entire dining experience. One thing that stood out to me was that our hostess, after sitting us said, oh "julie" will be your server tonight "SHE's ONE OF OUR BEST". It totally made you feel like you were given the best. It set us up to have an incredible experience. So it made me think, what are we doing to help people in our churches experience God in the fullest possible way every single sunday and keep that experience with them all week. We leaned over to listen to the hostess introduce another table to a different server and she said the exact same thing. They were very intentional on having you come back. Are we being that intentional and relevant, providing an environment for unbelievers and believers the same, to want to come back, to want to continue investigating the scriptures and Christianity. Something that will stick with them all week. Something that's different than everything else. See the melting pot will forever be like nothing else. They have targeted their nitch. What is your nitch. Anyways, final thoughts for the night.

Had a blast Jeff. Glad we got to do it.
