I just watched an awesome movie. It’s called “God Grew Tired of Us.” It’s about a group of children that fled the civil war in Sudan in the early 90’s. They became known as the “Lost Boys.” They left the Sudan with about 27,000 in their group. By the time they ended up in safety in Kenya several years later, they were down to about 12,000. Some were later settled in the USA. The movie is a documentary of their struggles. It reminded me of my time in Kenya in 2006. Check it out…

Here’s what I’m thinking right now….

– God is AWESOME
– God is GOOD
– God has given me a LASER sharp vision for Fellowship of San Marcos. Thru all of my tough times this year, God is reaffirming that vision to me. It can be summed up in the sentence “We are the church for people that don’t go to church.”
– Why does my Fantasy Football team stink?
– I thank God for honest, transparent people that love God, love their brothers and sisters in Christ, love the lost, and don’t harbor evil feelings for God’s people and leaders.
– Church should be FUN
– I thank God for people who want to serve Him. I am surrounded by people who love to serve. I love to watch them love to serve.
– Serving is a pre-requisite of leading. I didn’t realize that in the past. The man or woman who think they are above cleaning a bathroom or running a vacuum cleaner has no business leading in the church. If they won’t serve others before they lead, they will only lead selfishly. They won’t work for the vision of the church but their own vision.
– I love my wife and kids!
