REFLECTIONS AHEAD

This is one of those weeks the rpm's are at the red line. We have Easter Weekend--Eggstravaganza, Sunday Servies--and the opening weekend of the 2009 race season at Evergreen. There is so much to be done.

Things that might be said on April 13th...

"We had 1,000 people at church on Saturday!" Get out there and invite families to the Eggstravaganza, at Monroe Campus. It really is one of the best weekend events in the area.

"The Rock Church broke all Easter attendance records." Let's see, what is the record, 1,380. In 2007, we had 1,380 people at 3 Sunday services. Can we break the record? I believe we can if we are quick to invest in people and invite them to church.

"Jeff finished T-3." There are some stout competitors at Evergreen Speedway this year. We worked on our stuff a lot during the off season, but I would love to get the first win of the season out of the way on the first week. We will see. It's not easy to win a late model race, alot of things have to go right and the driver has to be there at the end.

"Natalie finished T-10." Natalie Sather, our Drive for Diversity Driver, debuts at Evergreen this weekend. This will be her first green flag ever in a asphalt late model. She will do a lot better than top ten at many races, but it's a good goal for week 1.

"Practice, Practice, Practice." No matter if is is church or racing I am continually reinforcing to our leaders that practice is the key. We need to learn each and every weekend at church and at the track. Practice, practice, and more practice.
