Sermon prep… we are starting a Mere Christianity series at Horizon this week. It’s ok, but Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe isn’t the most appealing sermon talk… We’ll see how it goes…
Frustrations
Frustration… I had a meeting with Dave and Clay last night, and realized just how bad our communication has been. Apparently lots of misunderstandings and frustrations had been piling up. But we took the first steps to deal with that stuff. This morning I finished Dallas Willard’s Renovation of the Heart, very good book! But like his other books, it takes a long time to read. I wonder what I will read next… hmmm…
Our mini-vacation
Back to work… Last week we did quite the little tour. We went to Kings Dominion on Wednesday with Jeff, Mindy, Christina and Mark. From there we stayed the night at a Sleep Inn in Charlottesville, VA. Thank you to the night clerk for the hookup on price. From there we went to Natural Bridge, VA and enjoyed an afternoon seeing nature. That was awesome! Then we went to Narrows, VA and spent time with Alicia’s family. Her brother Jarrett graduated from High School on Friday night. Congrats Jarrett! Then we came home on Saturday, but not without a stop at the Hagerstown Outlets on the way. Then yesterday was busy with church, visiting Christina(you are in my prayers girl!) and going to Falls Church, VA to ask my grandfather’s church for money. Quite the busy time… but for now, it’s back to the grind…
Back from the retreat
Ahhh… back to work… we had a Horizon Church leadership retreat this past weekend at Deep Creek Lake. Some good time with people… but it was a little too much stuff for the time we had and a little too crowded for the space we had. But we are back. We went and saw my parents last night, and my grandparents who are visiting them. It was nice to see them, it had been a while. We also found out from my parents that my grandfather’s church(the one we are going to be asking for money this Sunday) left the SBC a few years ago over the same things we have problems with the SBC about. That was very encouraging. Anyways, got to get to work.
