Ya know, I was all set for a big blogging kick yesterday, but instead, I decided to try and transcribe Joel's sermon from Saturday. I'm about 3/4ths of the way through. After I get it cleaned up for better reading, I may do something with it online. It was one of Joel's better sermons in my time at Lakewood and I'm sure it'll be one that drives his critics nuts (well, moreso).

A few things to report from my travels through the bookstore and other points throughout:

First, there's a lot of Billie Hunt tapes & CDs on the clearance aisle. Good deals abound. Actually, though ... I should say there were a lot of Billie's material there. I first noticed it Wednesday and when I came back with money on Saturday, it was fairly slim pickings. I'll be shocked if there's anything left next weekend.

Also, there's tapes available of John Osteen's booklets. If your an audio type of person, it's a good deal - $3 a tape. Even the multi-tape sets are $3. Not uncommon for that to be a hair cheaper than most or all of the booklets. I snagged one just to sample. Sue Strachan does the reading and she does an excellent job of it. For my own taste, though, I'm a reader. But if you're not, pick up a few tapes and treat yourself.

Lastly, Heath Rosborough had a great performance during the offering this weekend. I'm kicking myself that I slept late on Sunday and didn't get a recording of it. Heath will also be doing the musical segment at Koinonia this weekend, so be sure to work that into the schedule.

By way of reminder, Thursdays are now high on my agenda for trying to get in the rest of Tina Underwood's "Captive No More" series. I promised I'd have more to say about my experience in her class and I haven't forgotten. I'll try to get to that tonight.
