Monday Morning Brief though it's Tuesday – 1.20.09 –

It’s Tuesday but it feels like Monday.

 

Highlights of the Week:  Having just returned from our senior high winter retreat, I’m tired and blessed.  All in all, another solid retreat.  Though there is no such thing as having arrived, I can tell that we have a better spirit or culture in our ministry.   As mentioned in the previous post, our theme centered around the movie “Crash” and our themes were “Justice, Racism, Providence and Redemption”.  They loved the movie, we looked at a lot of Scripture and we had great discussions.  Some leaders said that it was probably our best large group discussion we’ve had.  I tend to feel differently about retreats and trips as time passes. I need the time to rest and process but I really do feel good about it.

At the moment:  1. I’m procrastinating on writing  my sermon for class today.  I think it will go ok, it just feels mediocre and I’m tired from the retreat. 2. Also I’ve been really thankful for our youth leaders.  They give so much and they allow the Lord to work through them.  Very grateful.  

 

Looking Forward to: 1. Being with my family again.  Susan and Nathan flew to FL to visit the in-laws and they picked a great week to go since it’s freezing out here and 70 degrees in FL.  They get back Thursday.  2. Seeing history made today at Obama’s inauguration.  Friends, regardless of our respective views in politics, this is an incredible day in American history. 3.  Getting back to some kind of routine.  4. Super Bowl with Steelers vs. the … uhhh, the Cardinals???  Surely the Cards can’t win this one.  5. LOST!
