Thinking Back...

It's been another action filled, awesome week. Sunday evening is a good time for decompressing and thinking back over the week as I prepare for the upcoming one.

• I shared a devotional with our ministerial staff team on Monday entitled "Stretching." The premise: It's actually a good thing when we get stretched, especially as it relates to our spiritual growth.
  
• I had the opportunity to speak to our church's Mother's Morning Out teachers this week as part of their training for the new school year. I was given the assignment to challenge them in their spiritual growth. Awesome group of ladies and we had an awesome time. Thanks Tiffany for inviting me to speak.
• I'm loving being a part of the process with Shawn Bergen and some others on our staff team in dreaming and brainstorming what our church's evangelism strategy might look like in the near future.
• I am so glad football is finally here (even pre-season)!
  
• I have made a ton of progress in filling a couple of vacant staff positions!!! God is so good!
  
• I had my personal best 3 mile run time Saturday morning with 23:40!
• Macy and I had a great time with several young couples over to the house Friday night. I got to fire up the Espresso Machine big time. Man, I'm wearing that thing out!
• Thanks for a great lunch meeting Rob - I really enjoyed the fellowship.
• We had an awesome time in worship this morning at McGregor. I also had a great time in my Bible Study Class this morning (Macy shared a testimony about a physical struggle she went through in 2004 - she was awesome and I was so proud of her and her faith). I love Sunday mornings at McGregor!
• I'm bummed out NASCAR was rained out today. Set you TiVos/DVRs to noon tomorrow.
  
• I'm getting excited about being a part of a fantasy football league (more info on this in upcoming blogs).
• I'm so thankful for Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream!
  

Finally, let's pray for the people in Jamaica and others who will be in the path of Hurricane Dean.
