Today starts a slower week for me. Not that there's less to do; there's actually more. But, I'm slowing the schedule down a bit.
* That pic to the left is Levi (my 2-year old son) and Caroline (Sasha's 1-year old daughter). Pic was snapped by Sasha when we were visiting his mom's home- the one that was re-done in the one-day quick renovation project just over a week ago. Feel free to watch the video. I place it b/c I was excited to hear about Ms. Kim's ideas for utilizing the freshened up home for ministry. Seems the renovation was a gift that is going to continue giving and giving and giving...
* Wanted to toss out two coffee ideas: 1) I'm boycotting the Starbucks in 5 Points- on the principle of a few things. Not that it will matter to them... more about it later this week; and 2) McDonald's on Clairmont (next to St. Vincent's) will not give you a free mocha or latte on Sundays, if you bring a bulletin with you- those are the folded hand-outs we give away when you walk into the warehouse on Sundays : )
* Pumped up about the worship service today. I'm praying we continue to take that same energy out of the time we spend together on Sundays and pour it into the house churches and service projects around town- as you have been doing. You guys are doing an incredible job of worshiping in song and with your lives. They are fueling each other!
* By the way, the audio from the sermon is already up.
* Next week, I hope to unveil some things we're working on in the downtown area regarding the Sunday morning Linn Park ministry, as well as something that will be of benefit with the A Day To Make a Difference events, as well as Southtown, etc... I know that sounds odd. More later.
* Random. And sovereign. Today I was pulling into my driveway when the man I believe will be the next city councilor in our district pulled up. He introduced himself, and we talked about some of the shared ideas we have for the downtown area (which happens to be district 5 for the city council's purposes). More about this later in the week.
* Excited about the leadership meeting this Wednesday evening. I'm sure we'll post after that, as well.
