(1) i ran a 7.5 min mile at the gym today. my trainer, Josh, seems to think that i can beat my goal of 2 miles in 12 mins and actually do it in 11.5 mins. i love people who think positively and make you feel like goals are attainable.
(2) ever been to a meeting that didn't go like you thought? today i showed up expecting prayer to be part of the agenda and it WAS the agenda. four of us prayed together for an hour. it was inspiring, passionate, desperate, and rewarding. if the battle is won in prayer, and it is, that is where we should focus our energies.
(3) i love the heart of the Ohio Youth Director, Matt Anderson. some people just get it when it comes to ministry, and he is one of them. he shared something with me on Sunday that i can't get out of my mind & heart. he said he longs for the day when God is the "draw" when it comes to marketing God. i want students to come to XLR8 because God resides there and can offer power, hope, purpose, and life to all!
(4) annie was off the hook tonight, as always. Amanda says that when people are over, she takes all their body energy upon herself and it's like a wind up toy . . . twist, twist, twist . . . WATCH OUT!
(5) i just remembered 2 people i was supposed to return phone calls for today. sometimes life is just busy. ministry is one of those jobs when the work is never really done for the day. there is always another phone call to make, sermon to write, article to read, event to plan, etc. i have to learn when it's time to just rap up and call it a day . . .
