Well, the weekend is over… Alicia was gone Friday to Saturday, our first night apart since we got married. It was strange to be apart. I missed her a lot and felt like half a person. Ashes Remain played at the Recher theater in Towson Friday night, and man, what a show! That was the best I’ve seen the guys play! Saturday I spent most of the day doing sermon prep for Sunday, plus I designed a theme for Metacity. Yesterday we had church, went to lunch at Panerra Bread(good food), and signed our lease for our new place in Towson. Very cool!
Association

I’ve been thinking about association this afternoon… A mention of Gandhi on the Horizon Message Board got me thinking. Gandhi huh? Yeah, Gandhi would have become a christian if it didn’t mean associating himself with the christians he saw. Clay and I talked about this a bit the other day… Anyways, it’s back on my mind… Can I reach the Northeast US while being associated with the Southern Baptist Convention? Or even a group like Vineyard for that matter? I don’t think it can happen… lot’s on my mind today…
Funding for me?

well, I’ve been thinking a lot about money… getting supported, getting paid, the church as business… I have lots of questions and not a lot of answers. I know I don’t feel comfortable getting SBC money at this point, and I don’t feel comfortable “going for the money.” But what does that mean for me as a church planter? Do I just look for a job that will be conducive to church planting? Do I look for support to do it full time? I haven’t been very comfortable with the current support options… That includes support from my grandfather’s church… lately something hasn’t been sitting right about that option. We’ll see…
Mother’s day

Well, this weekend was busy. Friday night I went with a video team to our office and filmed some Matrix/World Religions video. Then I spent a good part of the day on Saturday working on the sermon for Sunday. Sunday was the end of the Women series at Horizon, went pretty well. It was also Mother’s day(Happy Mother’s day Mom!) and we spent some time with the family. And today, back to work… I did get a call from the Colony this morning, and we are approved! And with the lowest security deposit available(good credit rocks!), $250. And perfect timing, no overlap of leases and a week to move it! God is awesome!
Moving to Towson

Ok, it’s been a few days… a few busy days. We had our Link Group on Tuesday night, and it was pretty good. Certainly very different than the one the night before, but it fit the people more. We also got our applications in for our apartment in Towson. Things look very good there! Our name is on 13 Oberton Ct… for a July 25th move in, as long as our credit looks fine(it should). I need to be getting more time for sermon prep for this Sunday, but it just hasn’t been happening. I guess Saturday is going to be busy.
