Catch Up Time
Wow I did not mean to go a week without posting, it’s just that I typically post my comments at night and the last week has been extremely full so there you go.
Had a lot of cool things happen over the last week or so… Part of the reason I started and continue to blog is to keep a running account of this journey so I hate to go to long without posting my thoughts or the things that happen!
I have really enjoyed going trough the series The Best Question Ever. Andy Stanley wrote a book with the same title after he preached the series at NP several years ago. I have said this before… that it has been one of the most helpful truths that I have been exposed to for every arena of my life… my marriage, my time, my parenting, my leading…
This past Sunday was tough I know for many of us because of the arena of morality and how the scripture commands us to live… as wise! Living as WISE men and women sounds good it’s just not we want to do a lot of the time… right?
Last week I was walking out to the parking lot and I saw someone kicking a soccer ball in our little yard on the St Florian side… I went over to check it out and I saw an entire family all playing together… laying under one of the trees… laughing just totally enjoying the moment and the beautiful day! Only problem was that they are a refugee family (Asian) and NOT a one of them could (or would) speak English. So I tried to let them know through hand gestures and facial expressions that we are happy to have them enjoying the churches property and to use it any time… not sure they understood but we all smiled at each other a lot!
I hope everybody had a great Memorial Day… it was picture perfect weather! We had the Renovation Staff (families) along with some other friends and my parents… we had a great time eating, laughing, eating, playing some “Can Jam” (a great frisbee game) eating some great home-made ice cream! I love hanging with the team at Renovation… we work hard and play hard!
Speaking of working hard… this week is slammed… The Walk is this Saturday night! This is our first environment that we have created specifically to reach Middle and High School students! Pre-Event starts at 5:30 with food, blow-up games, DJ mixing, Dance Off… the the Main event goes from 7:00 – 9:00 jammed full of music, videos, the Truth spoken and sung!
So pumped by the really good response by many of you to help with this event… it is going to be a great experience for all of our students!
Went to the Bisons game tonight… took Caleb… we had a good group of students and others from Renovation… the concert was good with Relevant Worship, Kulu and other Christ Record artist!
I am loving the NBA playoffs just in case anybody was wondering!
That’s it for now!
