Reflections From Sunday Evening

Haven't been here for a few weeks. Actually have been off during the month of July. After preaching on the 3rd changed up the pace. Here is a thumbnail sketch of my idea of time off. Wrote three sermons - showed up for VBS - did two funerals - assisted in a wedding (that was a joy!) - visited three different churches (Durant, Ok.; Appleton City UMC; and COR's VIBE service.) We did get out of town this past week from Saturday to Thursday. Had a great visit with my parents - Got to see some really good friends - church and lunch with our family today.
So there you have it. Back at it in the morning. I actually have some ideas that need to be written - books read this month - insights about leadership - new staff coming to church - So tomorrow you can read about: "Arminius and the Dutch Reformation!"; "Onward," the story of the Starbucks turnaround; "The Story," the Bible in story form (a great way to get introduced to the Bible); and "Veneer," a challenge to contemporary Christianity.

That is to say nothing about thoughts about current events - debt ceiling - What would guide you if you were charged with solving this issue?

That gives us some things to think about. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
