Feb. 17, I'm back
Hello Blog world. I know it has been a week and some of that was on purpose. While I was in California I didn't try and write. Yesterday after the staff meeting I took my son Jacob to RUE 21 and bought him a pair of jeans and and a shirt for making straight A's again.
I wanted a week away from blogging to make sure I wanted o continue to do so. Result, i do. I enjoy putting my thoughts out there for anyone who actually cares.
Today I wanted to share another e-mail I received. For the first few years I received a lot of attack e-mails. Lately they've been really encouraging. Thought you might enjoy this one.
Tomorrow I'll begin sharing a few insights and pictures from sunny California.
E-mail I received while gone:
It has been almost a month since I was back in Easley because of my Dad being in the hospital. I was able to visit the church again. The first time I visited I was totally blown away by the band. This time it was the sermon. It was about secret sins during Dean's marriage series. The one done about half the time in the dark. It is rare to be recalling more than a couple of points two days after a sermon. Almost unheard of a couple of weeks after a sermon, but to recall 10 different points and statements and illustrations a month after a sermon has never happened to me. Because your church means so much to me I started following Dean on Twitter and can keep up with things a little more.
5 Point is in my heart and I know God will continue to bless your ministry as you continue to follow His guidance. I want to thank your congregation and leaders and staff for what they are doing in Easley.
Some random thoughts:
* You want to see people act like complete A holes, spend a couple days in a airport due to weather.
* Rick Warren is so full of wisdom. I could sit and listen to him speak for hours. In reality, I did last week.
* As I draw closer to Christ, I want to do more for him.
* Begging God for better leadership skills. He spoke to me about this matter this morning. Leadership is about following Him.
* Finished with Ugly Truth. Looking forward to our next series, FOCUS.
* Don't forget new members class rescheduled to next Wednesday, February 24th at 7:00 pm. I will be teaching that class.
* Really looking forward to this weekend at Bon Clarken with a bunch of our couples and Eddie Cox.
* And yes, I challenged every married couple to have sex EVERY NIGHT this week. For those who do we have a special prize for them.
