Our First Video from Metamorphosis

For 30 minutes training on my new Mac computer.... I think this turned out well. The idea behind this is to show everyone what the meeting place actually looks like as we plan for our first worship service in October.

Update

Sorry, but the internet has been down for a couple of days here at the Funderburk House, and the computer has yet to make it to the office. In the few moments I have right now let me give you a quick update.

Mom- I just returned home from seeing her in Greenwood. She was in ICU for two days this week but is now back in a regular room. She has a secondary infection that they are fighting with yet another type of antibiotic. Please pray for her often. Specifically that she can be free from infection and pain.

My New Nephew - that's right.... Mandy's Brother had his son delivered into the world this morning. He is a cute little boy with red hair and dimples. Jacob Paul Webb 7.... pounds 19 inches long. I would say that pictures will come but you know the truth by now (hehe)

Jayson's Mom - NO CANCER!!!! Praise God!!!!

Church - We meet to go to New Spring in Anderson tomorrow AM. We are going to meet and caravan together where we will see one of the churchs that is really getting it done in Anderson. Wanna go? E - mail me at robbie@metamorph.cc and if the internet continues to work....... I'll give you the details.
Web site is the first thing on the list for next week, so keep watching for something worth looking at at www.Metamorphosis.cc
Ohhh............... and I'm typing this on an '08 model iMac that I made our first video on for our launch team meeting yesterday. Special thanks to a special doner that made the new computer possable, and to Joe at Discover Church for showing me how it works. I think I can post the video on God Tube then link it here. Keep looking back for it soon.

House - We made some visiable progress this week in lots of areas. One of the huge oak trees are gone from the front yard, and it made a huge difference. Want Pictures? The goal at this very moment is to get the kids bedrooms finished and painted, as well as all of the drywall finished by Wednesday night. Consider this a prayer request also!

Family - All doing well. Mandy is off until Wednesday so we hope to get ahead of the game in our quest to finish the house and move in.

Have a great weekend and I look forward to telling you some of what I saw and experianced at New Spring tomorrow AM.

- Later

Prayer Requests

Pray for mom. Dad called today to say that they have found a blood clot in her leg and will be putting in a "Green Filter" tomorrow AM. This is a filter they but in to catch the clot before it reaches the heart.

Pray for our Launch Team meeting this Friday. We will be viewing our first custom made video that I hope to have completed Thursday. The meetings are for anyone that has any interest in what God is doing through Metamorphosis. Pastor Chad shares the vision, the needs, and the method that we are using to reach those that are far from God.

Pray for Jayson Payne's Mom who will get the results of an important test tomorrow. Some other tests have shown that her cancer may be coming back, and she will learn the more definitive results of that test tomorrow.

Pray that God keeps me in the center of His will.

Thanks for your prayers!!! They make all the difference.

Never Mind

I had a post here but after Drew started singing Omazing Grace (you can find it at YouTube if you want) I decided that it would do more harm than good to the younger generation.

I'll preach that sermon another day.

First Day (not at the office)

There are so many things that need to be done and need my attention at Metamorphosis... but all day was spent in a surgical waiting room with my dad in Greenwood. Mom was in surgery for almost 7 hours! She is doing well, and will be in the hospital for at least two weeks.

I'm pumped about a meeting I will have tomorrow with a friend of mine from North Greenville College (University Now) that has been a part of a church plant since we were at NGC together. I hope to learn some things that will help us save a lot of time and energy as we don't want to waste any time.

Pray that I get a new computer soon. This is the first MAJOR investment of funds we have and I want to make the right choice. Anyone got G5, iMac, or MacBook Pro sitting around their not using?

Thanks for all your prayers.... keep up the good work ;) Rob

Last day of a great ministry

I suppose that title is dependent on your like or dislike of me personally, but that's the way my friends from New Hope left me tonight. It was really cool that I was able to just hang out with some folks that really encouraged Pastor Chad and I. The choir even collected come money and gave me a great card where they had all signed a little note, and included a gift card to...... you got it...... Lowe's!!!

I will be writing about our church plant "Metamorphosis" in the coming weeks, so stay tuned and stay in prayer for us, and New Hope. God has already blessed with offices that we have moved into!

Pray for Mom as she will have her knee totally removed in the am down in Greenwood. I'm going to get up early and get down there to hang with Dad during the surgery. She will be in the hospital for at least two weeks, with a total of 6 weeks without her knee. They hope to get the infection under control quickly, and her pain should be less even without the knee joint in place.

Thank your for all your prayers, and keep up the good work!

My Kids are Growing Up!!!

Papa and Nanna (Mandy's parents) were kind enough (or dumb enough) to keep our kids from Monday night until this afternoon. (thursday) They did this so that we could work on our new house and not have to deal with them in the process. This is the longest that Mandy and I have been without them, and I didn't like it!!!!

Last night, after my last choir rehearsal with New Hope, I had the most amazing phone conversation with my son. He told me of the pool that Papa took them swimming at, and all the fun events of the day. I could only think about how much I wanted he and Alex home with me. Drew is getting SOOOO grown up and Alex is about to really begin talking.

After I get this house stuff done, I'm going to find a way to spend a meaningful couple of days with my family!
