"I'm not invited to the thunket?" (America's Sweethearts)

Big test tomorrow for the #70. Over the last few days the crew have been putting in a lot of effort to prepare the car for this coming season. Saturday we spent all day cleaning the car, trailer, and pit equipment for Sunday's big release party (smashing success).

Today Pastor Jeff and I threw our baseline setup in the car, scaled it, and got it ready for practice. We have a lot going on this week- not just race cars, but (cue the Oprah voice) MITOSIS 2008 is here (end Oprah voice).

Mitosis just isn't a little bitty conference. It's HUGE. There's this little conference down in Dallas that happens every year. 5000+ church leaders go and learn and get ideas on how to reach seekers and non-believers.

If 5000 people go to that one, 10,000-20,000 should be coming to Mitosis (but luckily for our facility, there won't be 10,000 people. We'd need a lot more bathrooms!). It's an opportunity to see behind the scenes. It's about how a Sunday morning is done. Everyone has different ideas on how to pull off a "perfect" Sunday. And it's on a scale the majority of churches in America can grasp. Most who visit C3 in Dallas get overwhelmed and intimidated. They don't know where to start.

Mitosis 2008: Start Where You Are. We've been down that road of seeing something so unbelievable, we (Rock Church leaders)have spent the last 10-12 years building and learning and creating. Here is the opportunity to learn from a rural church that's made a tremendous impact in the surrounding region.

For our volunteers, it's an opportunity for everyone to see how every part, every passion, every person's effort, goes into making life change happen each and every Sunday.

If you haven't signed up for Mitosis, do so at MitosisConference.com. Call in sick Friday if you have to. I would.
