Whew…..I’m falling asleep on the couch trying to type this, so I’ll be brief:

Suffice it to say that today was a historic day for CLC!  I’m still pinchin’ myself to think that Dr. jack Hayford was our guest!
All 4 of his messages were outstanding, so you really should order the CD’s or download the podcasts [...]

I love Sundays!  I especially love Sundays at CLC!  Today was a LONG one (left the house before 6am and got home after 7pm, with 3 services, a newcomer’s reception and 2 Equip U classes in between), but I enjoyed it all.  Here’s my thoughts on the day:

loved the fact that we had people pray [...]

Boy, it felt good to be home today, and I thoroughly enjoyed each service at CLC today, but I gotta tell you, jetlag is kickin’ my butt tonight….so I’ll briefly give my thoughts on this day and then call it a night:

At our Downer’s Grove campus, Pastor Eric Stone gave a glowing report – real [...]

Today was a WONDERFUL day for me & Chris here in Davao City, Philippines with our only ‘international campus’, the Household of Faith-Christian Life Center, where Herley & Nelly Montes are the pastors.  Here’s a quick recap:

Chris ministered for our friends, Pastors Tito & Nelrose Sasam at the Releaser of Life Family Church, and after [...]

I’m typing this post from O’Hare, where Chris & I will soon be boarding a flight to Vancouver, British Columbia to connect with our flight to the Philippines later tonight.  (Yep, that means I won’t be watching the Super Bowl for the first time in many years….although I’m hoping the pilot will give us updates [...]

I know, I know.  I’ve said it before.  But this time I really don’t know where to begin, in describing this day at CLC.  UNBELIEVABLE!  Let’s try to recap:

First of all, this was the largest ‘regular’ Sunday attendance in our 20-year history in Tinley Park, as we literally filled every single chair & had to [...]

Oh my goodness, did I enjoy myself today! If knee surgery is the price for the anointing I sensed on the Word today, I think I’ll have the other one done!    Just kidding about the surgery, but not about the anointing – I had fun!  It was a GOOD day throughout CLC today:

GREAT attendance [...]

WOW.  That’s. all. I. know. to. say.
Our first guest speaker in 2010, Melva Lea Beacham, was off-the-charts today.  Seriously. If you missed any of the 3-part series, you owe it to yourself to purchase the CD’s or view the online view once it’s available later this week.  Seriously.
This was my first Sunday in several weeks [...]

It’s just mid-afternoon, but I’m already on the couch, nursing my aching knee and sore throat, wishing I hadn’t yelled so much today (although it was fun at the time!).  Definitely a good day at CLC (although not for NE or GB fans):

seems the cold weather improves attendance, as our Tinley Park campus was full-er [...]

Can you believe it?  The FIRST Sunday of a new DECADE!  And what a beginning it was:

the worship team in Tinley Park was as HOT as I’ve ever heard them – what an atmosphere of worship today! 
don’t you love the way Jon steps during the line in ’Heaven on Earth’ about “walking in His favor”?
overwhelming response to [...]
