- 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. :)
NOOOOOO!!!!
I had a new blog post all typed out and then hit the wrong button, thus wiping everything out…I’m not even going to try again…talk to you tomorrow :(
My Heart was in My Stomach
About an hour ago I was the victim of one of the most believable April Fool’s jokes ever. Unfortunately because of some confidentiality issues I can’t disclose exactly what it was. Let’s just say though that it involved and issue I’ve been working on for months now and the “news” I received today via a phone call was devastating. My heart was pounding…then it felt like my heart sank into my stomach. “NOOOOO…why God, why?”
The caller asked me how I felt about it. I did my best to keep a clear head and explain that perhaps this was God’s will. Then the caller asked, “How do you feel about April Fool’s Jokes.” Wow the emotions were many…relief, laughter, anger )for having put me through that), jealousy (for not having thought of something that clever), etc. An hour later my heart rate is still increased from all the adrenaline. Well played my friend, well played.
So the question is…what’s the greatest joke you’ve ever been victim of or played on someone else? Use the comment button below.
