Death by flu

Last week Abrea got the flu and I hoped she could tuff it out, Kaiya got the flu and I hoped she would suck it up, but then it was my turn, I wanted to die.  Empathy was a little easier in that moment.

We had almost thirty people over last Wednesday for our vision and planning supper.  It was great.  Connecting with each other and with vision and sharing the flu.  My apologies to all of you that contracted the Woller flu.  And because I had it too...  I empathise.

We will laugh about it all someday... For now it means that I am covering a bunch of shifts at the coffeehouse.

The Future

This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak together with John Trotter.  Each of us speaking half of the message.  The challenge wasn’t speaking with my friend, it was what we were talking about.  Real stuff…  We shared about how we are unable to fill the shoes of our future and that is OK.  Apart from Jesus’ reign fall short in figuring out where to go, fall short in knowing how to get there, and then to top it off we fall short in accomplishing once we get there.  The key is that this falling short ok when we are under His reign.  Not keeping our faith in our back pocket and pulling it out when we are desperate, but letting all aspects of our yesterday, today, and tomorrow be surrendered to Him.
