Monday Morning Mantra

It's been one great and crazy week. We had a quiet Thanksgiving with my In-laws here at the house. Friends and some of my family came over later for coffee and dessert. We definitely had a good time. Plus I taught Jeremy how to play Cribbage and he whaled on me his first time. Beginners luck.

Church was a mixed bag of emotions. Jason and Beth were not there because one of his best friends was killed in a car accident. So I was really feeling it for them. They stayed down in RI with some other friends to grieve. Please keep them in prayer. Tough stuff they are going through. But the other side of that was we had a good service and many people were touched by the message. I love Riverstone Church and I will do whatever I have to do to make sure she continues moving forward with our mission and vision.

Several people had stuff going on. Lots of heart ache out there. I would like to help but people are reluctant to share their hurt.

Pats are playing New Orleans tonight. Big game, should have fun watching it. Can't wait.

Having a bit of realignment with the church. Moving some people out of key positions and others into them. Please pray for me that I would have wisdom in this transition. I don't want to get discouraged. But sometimes it just comes at me.

I'm really tired today. Can anyone relate? Mondays are always tough. Pastors are coming down off spiritual highs. We spend the week preparing to share our hearts and God's Word and after we do we are drained. It is spiritually draining to do those things. That is why Jesus often went off alone to pray. He needed to recharge his batteries too.

Got some friends coming over for dinner and Wii. They threw down the challenge on me for bowling. So I will step up to the line and throw down some strikes. BRING IT ON!!!
