Groundhog Day

April 3, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • I can’t believe I lost yesterday’s post…getting ready to type this again feels like Groundhog Day…”hey didn’t I already do this.”
  • Oh well, there’s some exciting stuff going on and I wanted to make sure it got communicated.
  • The new series has really struck a nerve…I can’t believe how many people are saying how timely this is to their lives.
  • This week we’ll look at how to create margin in your schedule because let’s face it we’re constantly on the run always living for someday.
  • Guess what someday will never come, so we’ve got to learn how to maximize our time right now…this week we’ll discover how.
  • Again the remainder of the series will look at how to create financial margin, moral margin and professional margin. 
  • In the next few weeks, I’m going to have some huge announcements to share with you…hold on, things are getting good!
  • Speaking of good, March ended up being our highest attended month ever!
  • What’s cool is that would have still been true even without adding in Easter!
  • Way to go United…you keep inviting and God keeps working.  In the words of Bill Hybels, “There’s nothing like the local church when the local church is working right.”
  • I received my copy of Pop Goes the Churchthis week.  For those not familiar with it, it was the book that I was asked to help review the initial manuscript.
  • It turns out that a lot more people were asked to help than was originally planned but it was still cool to see my name as a part of the review team anyway.
  • I said this before, if you want to get a look inside my head at what makes me tick and what we’re really trying to accomplish, then buy this book.
  • The author, Tim Stevens, makes the most compelling biblical case for why the church needs to redeem culture instead of condemn it that I’ve ever seen or read. 
  • In the coming weeks and months as I go back through it, I’ll share some insights that I had that we weren’t allowed to discuss when it was still in manuscript form. 
  • Trust me…buy the book and get on board or I’ll…
  • The above is only funny if you’re a regular reader of the blog.
  • Ok, I’m carefully now going to hit the “submit” button so I don’t have to do this all over again tomorrow.
  • Of course if I did it would have to be on a different computer because this one would still be in pieces from the sudden but violent “drop” on the floor.  :)
