I'm back in the office after a 3-day weekend vacation, and I must say that I had never been more in need of a vacation than I was by the end of last week. Truly, I'd been running on empty since February, which is why I haven't blogged much. Praise God for time away.
That being said, here are some things on my mind:
1) I shared a moment with my older son, Blues, this weekend that I'll never forget. My family and I visited Kalahari in Sandusky, OH. And on Friday night, Blues worked up the courage to ride a rather intimidating water-slide with me. He was scared to death, but said, "Dad, I know I can do it if you're there with me." He got on the intertube with me, squeezed the handles, and away we went. It was priceless.
2) Harlend has offered me an opportunity to partner with them in an exciting new ministry venture that they are gearing up for. I don't know exactly what it will all flesh out to be, but I love Harlend. And I love doing ministry with them. And what they've invited me to do with them makes my heart beat fast.
3) I've finished several books recently, but I think I'm done reading for a while. I've been giving far too much time to reading leadership books and other "good Chrisitan stuff" so much so that it's taken my Bible reading time away. That's crap. I'm not reading anything anymore until I get my fill of God's Word first.
4) I'm trading in "nice" for "Truth". I've spent the past season of my life being "nice" to people who come to me for assistance, encouragement, advice, etc. And there is nothing wrong with being "nice" to people in those situations. "Nice" is...well...nice, but "Truth" will set you free. So I've decided to save everyone, including myself, a lot of time and skip right to the "Truth". Be warned that from now on, if you come to me, I'm gonna give you "Truth". It may not be "nice", but at least you'll know that I love you enough to tell you the "Truth".
5) It's getting warmer outside. PRAISE GOD!
6) Palm Sunday is coming. I'm excited to preach again. We have some fun stuff planned for the weekend.
Grace and Peace
