This weekend is completely crazy. My wife is with the girls a couple of hours aways with my daughter’s softball team. They have several games this weekend in a tournament. I’m with my son Jacob and his baseball team. They also have a number of games. Only there games are in South Bend. Much closer to home. I think I got the better end of the deal this weekend.

Between the two of us, we’re probably going to end up watching our kids play about a dozen games this weekend. I guess you could say: Tony and Emily are literally experiencing the game of life. And, that why I’ve decided to highlight National Community Church in Washington, DC this weekend. Mark Batterson’s the lead pastor at National, and their in the middle of a series called "The Game of Life."

National was one of the 10 churches Terry and I identified last week. The church meets at two separate locations in the DC area. To get a flavor for their ministry, you may want to check out the extensive video archive.

If I wasn’t sitting in the bleachers this weekend watching my son play baseball and attending a service at Granger, I’d go to National Community Church and learn about the game of life. Because of that, they’re my "Cool Church of the Week."

Got to go. I hear the phone ringing. That’s the "happy ring" I programmed on my cell phone for when my wife calls. I better go find out who won the last game.
