Long Day
Yesterday was a really long day, though it was a very productive day.
It kicked off at 4:00-way-too-stinkin'-early-in-the-morning o'clock. Wasn't planning on getting up that early, but remembering all I had to do to get ready for our men's group, went ahead and hit the floor running. . .welllll, it was more like stumbling and the running was just to keep me from falling on my face.
Yesterday we kicked off our fall Men's Fraternity study - The Quest
for Authentic Manhood. Had about 25 guys show up for our 6:00 am group! What a great group. I was uber excited and loved the discussions going on around the tables. Last night another group met - somewhere around 40 men had signed up, not sure yet how many showed up. Tonight another group starts. In all more than 60 men have taken the first on the journey of discovering God's desire and design for them as men. Needless to say, I'm rockin' right now.
Then, after getting some stuff done around the office and running some errands got together with our staff for our staff meeting. I love getting together with these people. They love the Lord and they love Greater Gresham. They are funny, compassionate, and passionate all at the same time. We laughed, plannned, prayed, shared, encouraged, and challenged each other. And it was a great time to celebrate our pastor's birthday! I'm sure there are pictures somewhere.
Finally called it quits sometime between 4:30 and 5:00. Went home spent. But it was a good tired. The kind of tired that's a result of giving everything you've got. . .of leaving it all on the field. Know what I mean?
I love days like yesterday. Now to get this day kicked off! Oh! There's the whistle!!!! Gotta go.
