Wow, it seems like a long time since I posted. I’ve been on the road, and time has flown. Here are some of the highlights:
*I turned 41 last week. The turning of another year isn’t a big deal to me. Kim’s parents came up to join us for a great fried chicken supper. Her dad and I talked about missional church stuff for a long time. I love the fact that he’s still growing and learning as a leader–it inspires me to keep after it.
*The fam took me out to see the local high school’s Spring musical, Beauty and the Beast. Our hs drama dept has got to be one of the best in the US, and this year’s cast did a great job! The scenery and costumes were incredible, and we got to see lots of our students in the cast and crew. The part of Belle was played by our own Courtney Lope, and SHE WAS AMAZING. Seriously, I had tears in my eyes at several points during the show, especially when she sings about her own transformation, and when she chose to sacrifice herself for her father. I was blown away. It was almost as if the part was written for her.
*A few of us flew down to Dallas for the Leadership Network Missional Renaissance Learning Community. Reggie McNeal wrote a book about this very topic, and we were blessed to be part of this learning group. I came away with some personal challenges, and I believe that our leadership’s vision for our city has been expanded. Great stuff…
*I taught our middle school group tonight. I shared the gospel, and there were lots of new faces in the group tonight. Friends are bringing their friends to hear the good news about the kingdom. Now we need to get intentional about helping these interested young men and women learn to become Jesus followers.
