I had been struggling at that point with many decisions and relationships that I had in my personal and business life. We took our kid's there to watch this amazing play during Holy Week and thought it was just another "church play". Boy was I surprised! It had a full on professional production, hundreds of actors, live animals and pyrotechnics you wouldn't believe.

But due to innovation and technology, everything is conveniently now in my pocket. Therefore, if you're sitting around me during service, don't throw anything at me while I fiddle with my iPhone. I'm not texting...I'm taking notes!! This week are City Church notes about Holy Week - the seven days that changed the world forever! Pastor Kent shares that in order to get into heaven, you also have to have a certain amount of notes on file...so here goes. By the way, I have a special note at the end of this post. God bless you!!

This week's featured entrepreneur is, Chris Searcy, an indie (independent) artist who produced his own hit song, Addicted. By continuing to follow his passion, in the midst of a recession and amongst naysayers or "haters", his song Addicted has climbed up the charts to #14 on the Gospel Music Channel's top 20 songs. His story and example is truly one that exemplifies an individual that has found their passion and found a way to turn it into profit.

Would you or anyone you know, like to get to the next level in your life? No where in my life did I think that church was SO COOL! Having spent time at City Church Chicago, led by Senior Pastor Kent Munsey, causes anyone to rethink what they believe church is. For example, how would you like to go to a church to discover four ways to reach your dreams with your money or business...the GOoD way? (pronounced "good", but notice that there is GOD in that word)

In our pursuit of happiness, buying more things, living in bigger homes and driving fancier cars will make us outrageously happy, right? What is God's standard in using our success, money and influence to live a life of honor and dignity? Here are my notes from service at City Church Chicago.

Leaders, with curiosity, where glancing at what I was doing during service. It looked like I was not setting a good example while sitting in church. Once Amy told them what I was doing, they stopped asking and focused again on Pastor Kent Munsey's message. Trust me, I was not texting in church...but if you needed some help in dealing with difficult people or even through difficult times, today was a great message for that!
