today was really one of those days where it was hard to spend more than a few minutes focusing on anything. After attending the last week of our 6:30 AM Tuesday Morning men's ministry event at Overlake Church, we had breakfast at Denny's together with everyone who came from our church, then I had a surprise staff meeting at the church office, then a surprise lunch, then I assembled something for my office, then I dropped off my ballot, then I started taking care of emails and other prep work for our upcoming special event on Nov. 12 (Lovesick), and before you know it's 5 PM!
So, needless to say, I didn't have time to sit down and put together a thoughtful blog post. Instead, I'll give you some of today's highlights:
- as the title indicates, a great conversation at breakfast after the men's ministry event: talked about a host of stuff that applies deeply to United Life, the ministry that God is building with us, and our future. I'm excited by how passionately guys are thinking about God's calling in our ministry
- there were a few other early morning groups. OJ said he ran into a group at starbucks at 5:30 am on his way to Overlake. At a table near us was a group of Christian men meeting (we started breakfast around 8:30 am). I wonder if a morning group is somewhere in United Life's future? There's a certain energy there...
- speaking of energy, I've been wondering ever since going to a sushi conveyor belt place near our condo about the atmosphere there. There was just this feeling I had that I would love to go back there once a week...and I wondered if people felt that way about church. I know people feel that way about their coffee shops. out of that came the joking suggestion (at Dennys) that we have a group of people who all yell WELCOME like they do at sushi places when you first walk through the door. Something to that!
okay, I think that's all for now. hope you voted today!
