Happy Monday

Well it’s early afternoon and I need a coffee.  So while I wait for that to be ready I thought I’d do a quick post about my first day out of (paid) ministry.

So a funny thing. After all the talk in yesterdays post about being free to be myself in church (particularly in the matter of clothing) we didn’t even make it out to church.  Just to follow up of the clothing issue, I have no problem with people dressing up for church. If that’s how someone is most comfortable they should be free to do that. The whole point I was trying to make was that people should be free to come to worship how they are most comfortable. I am glad that I now have that freedom. 

Now today. I am feeling energized. I was up early, spent some quiet time with God and even did a little exercise (just a little).  Besides the usual teaching, this week is dedicated to marketing and organization stuff. Going well. It has to. I was hoping to have most of this done before the end of ’08 but it’s coming along. 

Since I’ll be teaching until well after the kids are in bed I took an extra half hour of this morning to just play and hang with them.  That’s a great way to break up the day.

I spent sometime last night developing the upcoming plans for the blog and hoping to share a bunch of that with you by the end of the week. 

Wherever you are today, my prayer is that you feel alive and in rhythm with the living God.
